HiWave's ultra low power amplifier IC and BMR speaker drivers
adopted by AQ Audio for advanced battery powered AirPlay
speaker
Cambridge, UK, June 29, 2012: HiWave Technologies(LSE:HIW),
which develops and sells electronic components and devices that
utilise innovative sound and touch technologies, has announced its
patented BMR speaker drivers and ultra-efficient audio amplifier
chips have been adopted by AQ Audio to create the AQ
SmartSpeaker(TM), one of the world's most advanced battery powered
AirPlay speakers([1]) .
The AQ SmartSpeaker is listed among2012's best technologies by
T3([2]) and The Independent([3]) and each speaker includes two
HiWave HiBM36S12 BMR speaker drivers and a HiWave HiAS2002
twin-channel amplifier IC.
The 24W speaker delivers over 10 hours of playback in AirPlay
mode from a single battery charge cycle; and more than 20 hours
when connected via a 3.5mm jack.
HiWave's patented low power amplifier IC consumes 1/20(th) the
power of comparable Class D amplifiers at typical listening levels
and significantly extends battery life in wireless speakers or
increases volume levels in low supply designs, such as USB
speakers. The company's patented BMR speakers deliver a full audio
frequency range to give a warmer sound across a wide audio
dispersion angle for room filling audio.
James Lewis, HiWave CEO commented:
"The AQ SmartSpeaker is a fantastically simple concept that's
been very well executed. It exploits the benefits that AirPlay
brings and combines this with efficient technology and high quality
playback to give you a high quality speaker that you can easily
control and position anywhere in the home."
James Grant, AQ Audio CEO commented:
"Amplifier power efficiency was key in making this break through
and creating a wireless AirPlay speaker. The HiWave amplifier IC's
flexibility and the team's support allowed us to work within
Airplay's strict signal latency specifications without compromising
on sound quality."
