The Swedish digital audio company Dirac and NXP Semiconductors have announced a collaboration to combine one of the world’s most powerful audio chipsets with a market-leading digital audio platform. By equipping the NXP i.MX 8M family of chipsets with Dirac’s digital audio platform, OEMs can enable their devices with maximized, immersive, and adaptive sound across their complete range of products. This announcement is being made at CES 2020 at Dirac Booth #18123.
The Dirac digital audio platform includes both Dirac digital audio solutions and the Dirac suite of tuning tools. The Dirac digital audio solutions are selected by the OEM to customize the product’s sound experience while the tuning tools both ensure consistent sound quality across the entire product line and allow the OEM to adjust the sound experience based on brand preferences.
The Dirac-enabled NXP chipsets are ideally suited to a new generation of smart speakers and soundbars that increasingly prioritize high-quality sound, in addition to home theater receivers, automobiles, and more.
“NXP has strong relationships with category-leading brands in some of the most dynamic consumer market segments,” states Mathias Johansson, co-founder and CEO, Dirac.
“By teaming up with NXP, Dirac has accelerated its growth in the smart speaker and soundbar channels and is now uniquely positioned to redefine these growing markets by enabling smaller products with a level of sound that could once only be delivered through much larger devices.”
