CSR plc today announced that Cambridge Audio, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high fidelity home cinema and digital music enhancement, has licensed CSR’s aptX® audio codec for its BT100TM wireless audio receiver – an accessory designed for use with Cambridge Audio’s new DacMagic TM Plus Digital to Analogue Converter.
BT100 adds wireless connectivity for any Bluetooth®-enabled device. By incorporating aptX technology, Cambridge Audio can offer consumers audio quality indistinguishable from wired with an extensive dynamic range, deep bass and crystal-clear top end. The aptX audio fits within the available bandwidth of wireless transmission standards to offer an efficient solution for bandwidth restricted connections.
“aptX delivers substantially better quality over a wireless connection than the standard SBC Bluetooth codec and, being a point-to-point design, no Wi-Fi® network or complicated network key setup is required,” said Cambridge Audio’s Director of Marketing Simon Hewitt. “aptX allows us to deliver on our ‘Sound First’ customer promise while also being able to offer the ultimate in user convenience.”
