expertly tuned spatial audio software for TWS earbuds, wireless
headphones, smartphones, speakers and soundbars
LAS
VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CES 2024
- Ceva, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of silicon
and software IP that enables Smart Edge devices to connect, sense
and infer data more reliably and efficiently, and THX Ltd., a
world-class high-fidelity audio and video tuning, certification,
and technology company, today announce RealSpace® Tuned by THX™, a
premium software offering for original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) to add support for immersive spatial audio customized to any
consumer or prosumer audio device including TWS earbuds, wireless
headphones, smartphones, speakers and soundbars.
RealSpace® Tuned by THX™, featuring Ceva's RealSpace® spatial
audio rendering and head tracking solution, will offer a THX tuned
and optimized audio experience for each OEM device, providing the
best possible out-of-the-box experience for the consumer. This Ceva
software offering, that is tuned by THX, also includes for the OEM
device a variety of curated spatial audio presets for most content
types including gaming, movies, music, and speech, further
elevating the user experience.
"Spatial audio delivers immersive, multidimensional audio,
enhancing any listening, gaming or viewing experience," said
Chad Lucien, vice president and
general manager of the Sensors and Audio Business Unit, Ceva. "The
RealSpace® Tuned by THX™ offering will bring the exceptional
performance enabled by our spatial audio solution, customized by
THX, to more OEMs who demand a premium experience and audio brand
for their products."
THX Ltd., founded by Lucas Films 40 years ago, is a globally
recognized mark of high-fidelity audio excellence. THX first
brought today's high global standards for audio certification to
cinemas and has expanded to deliver this in the home theater,
gaming and mobile device sectors. OEMs choosing RealSpace® Tuned by
THX™ will be able to leverage this mark of high fidelity to appeal
to both existing and new audiences who today demand the best in
audio reproduction so they can experience entertainment the way the
creator intended it to be enjoyed.
"Through our partnership with Ceva, we aim to help more OEMs
provide to their consumers higher fidelity immersive audio
experience," said Jason Fiber, chief executive officer, THX Ltd.
"We are pleased to announce this Ceva and THX collaboration
to expand adoption of new branded devices coming to market in 2024
and beyond."
RealSpace spatial audio rendering software provides the most
accurate digital simulation of real-life, immersive sound in the
industry. Its proprietary algorithms create a realistic aural
experience through as little as two-channel stereo audio while
supporting full multi-channel and ambisonics. With
dynamic head tracking Sensor Fusion Algorithms enabled,
the RealSpace user experience is even more immersive, as the sound
sources are held stationary while the user's head is moving,
simulating listening experiences in the real world. This allows the
user to experience theater-like sound through headphones or earbuds
when watching movies, playing video games or listening to music,
podcasts or conference calls.
Ceva's three versions of its RealSpace® software to OEMs, all of
which will include a "Tuned by THX™" option, include:
- RealSpace Personal for DSP and MCU based TWS earbuds and
wireless headphones
- RealSpace Mobile for smartphone-based systems delivering
multi-channel sound to connected TWS earbuds and headphones
- RealSpace Ambient for Bluetooth and USB speakers and soundbars
to provide immersive spatial audio sound
