Outstanding Audio Quality
In an increasingly crowded and technologically advancing market, high quality audio continues to offer a strong competitive advantage for FM, HD Radio, DAB and Surround Sound Broadcasting. Listeners accustomed to CD-quality audio, expect their radio experience to deliver the same exceptional performance.
In the majority of broadcast applications, uncompressed linear audio transport is simply not an option. To deliver a stereo digital audio signal at 16-Bit, 44.1 kHz resolution requires 1.411kbps – almost the entire capacity of a 1.5Mb/s T1 circuit. In terms of capital investment and operational costs, this is expensive and inefficient, particularly when dealing with multiple channels of audio. Therefore, digital audio compression is essential. The apt-X audio codec offers broadcasters a unique feature set delivering audio quality indistinguishable from linear at much reduced bit rates. It is regarded as the defacto standard for high quality audio delivery with over 20,000 radio stations worldwide relying on apt-X audio technology.
"We're thrilled to have apt-X in the BlueBuds Bluetooth headphones. Audio quality is a key objection to purchase of bluetooth stereo headphones today. With apt-X, we've finally resolved that concern, and our customers can enjoy wired audio quality, without the wires. Having used apt-X in my personal Bluetooth headphones for several months now, I can attest to the mega make over apt-X is for bluetooth audio. Cleaner audio, improved bass response and clearer highs."
