Conexant AudioSmart 3.0 provides a single hardware and software system in the form of tiny chips CX20888 (5 × 5 mm). It is composed of a stereo DAC (digital to analog converter) and ADC (analog-to-digital converter). According to the manufacturer, the chip can replace all previously used in gadgets circuitry.
Chip CX20888 and its software allows direct digital stream in the playback device, and the sound source. Thus, the need for a headset only the presence of a smartphone or other sound source corresponding connector: Everything else will make the chip itself. And decodes the music from your phone to an analog stream, and encode into digital voice from the microphone.
Embedded DAC and ADC provides signal coding and decoding 24-bit / 96 kHz. By integrating converters, the manufacturer bypassed the need to coordinate the headset output and Smartphone input, as well as to ensure the absence of hardware and software delays due to software and platforms phone.
Conexant AudioSmart 3.0 minimizes audio jitter (jitter), distortion due to poor nutrition and other types of problems while playing. Moreover, the novelty implemented Conexant ANK technology providing an active noise reduction circuit forces a depth of 30 dB and a range of up to 3.8 kHz.
In should be mentioned as other interesting features:
- Wake-On-Voice (awakening source device using hardware audiokomandy);
- Support for multiple buttons;
- low power consumption;
- Compatibility with encryption protocols (and the possibility of encryption of the headset or other playback device);
- SWB-NR - broadband noise reduction;
- SVP - the suppression of the speaker's voice when using in-ear headphones;
- SWB AEC - wideband echo elimination;
- wind noise reduction.
Conexant showed industrial design, which means that we can see the finished headsets and other audio systems in the near future.
