Qualcomm Enhances Performance of Truly Wireless Earbuds and Hearables with its Next Generation Qualcomm TrueWireless Stereo Technology

Qualcomm was an early pioneer in the concept of true wireless stereo a technology that is designed to completely eliminate the need for wires, not only between the media source and the headphones, but also between the left and right earbuds, offering users a wire-free stereo audio experience and supporting new use cases like hearables. Now Qualcomm announced enhancements to its Qualcomm TrueWireless Stereo technology.

In a move that will significantly improve the end user experience for its audio interface customers, Prism Sound has upgraded four of its key products to ensure that they all support ASIO Direct Monitoring (ADM). The company’s Titan, Atlas and Lyra audio interfaces and its SADiE workstation software now include ADM, which allows mixers in the interface device to be controlled automatically from Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software.

Optocore has announced the release of a complete network solution suitable for all manufacturers and professional integration clients. Formally launched at Prolight+Sound 2017 in Frankfurt, the new compact SFX7 module was designed by Optocore to be built into third party product boards - including networked speakers - and will offer maximum flexibility, interoperability and integration — all on fibre, and fully IP-based.

Antelope Audio announced that its new Thunderbolt and USB interfaces, Orion32+ and Orion Studio, are now shipping. Since the original announcements at the 139th AES Show in New York City, both units have generated great interest due to its features and 24-bit / 192 kHz recording support without compromising on the number of channels.

The new Orion Studio audio interface was introduced by Antelope Audio at the 139th AES convention in New York, together with the Orion32+. Both interfaces are based on Thunderbolt and offer speed, I/O flexibility, and quality AD/DA conversion in a 1U rackspace. The Orion Studio features also 12 Class A microphone Preamps which will certainly appeal to many project studios.
