The apt-X suite of audio codecs includes:
apt-X Standard was launched in 1989 and since then we have continued to develop and perfect our suite of audio coding technologies.
Enhanced apt-X launched in 2000 is now an established and proven standard for audio coding throughout the professional and broadcast industry, and is also now increasingly in demand for consumer wireless audio applications.
apt-X Bluetooth is an optimised version of the Enhanced apt-X audio codec to fit within Bluetooth A2DP Stereo distribution profile.
apt-X Live has been developed to cater for the demanding requirements of digital wireless microphones, offering unrivalled quality in bandwidth restrained environments whilst still offering extremely low latency.
apt-X Lossless, launched in 2009 offers full HD-Audio coding for the pinnacle in performance. Specifically tuned for consumer devices, apt-X Lossless audio coding technology offers scalability to tune to required battery life, latency and Bit Rate considerations.
The apt-X Scalable audio coding is the result of nearly two years research effort. The novel approach adopted by apt-X Scalable creates a form of cognitive audio coding, whereby codec operation is automatically tuned and optimized based on system-level performance demands.
"Now, with the higher quality audio afforded by the apt-X codec, our WT32 Bluetooth Audio Module can stream the best possible Bluetooth A2DP stereo audio experience.
