Realtek Announces Collaboration with Waves Audio Ltd on Realtek High Performance Audio DSP with Hi-Fi CODEC Products

With its high performance and low power consumption, Realtek’s highly-integrated Audio DSP plus CODEC system is ideal for a wide range of mobile systems, including tablets, smartphones, and ultra-books. Extensive memory resources provide Waves the flexibility to run advanced high-quality audio post-processing algorithms on Realtek’s Audio DSP solutions.

MaxxAudio by Waves, a recipient of a Technical GRAMMY® Award, is a complete suite of advanced audio algorithms designed to enhance output performances on smartphones, tablets, and mobile devices. Using the same Waves processors found in professional recording studios, MaxxAudio compensates for small-speaker limitations and hardware constraints to provide premium sound performance on consumer devices. Using psychoacoustic algorithms such as bass extension, precise equalization, volume enhancers, and sophisticated leveling technologies, MaxxAudio ensures a bigger and better sound performance across all audio content.

“Realtek has had a long and close cooperation with Waves Audio, working together to integrate Waves’ post-processing package for the PC market”, said Realtek’s Vice President and Spokesman, Yee-Wei Huang. “With the highly-integrated Audio DSP plus CODEC solution, Realtek is now cooperating with Waves Audio even further to bring Waves’ MaxxAudio on a Realtek CODEC to consumer electronic devices such as tablet, smartphone, and ultra-books”.

“Collaberating with Realtek diversifies OEMs’ system design alternatives” says Tomer Elbaz, Executive VP and General Manager of Waves’ Consumer division. “With MaxxAudio’s availability on Realtek’s CODEC and the flexibility to offload the main processor by running it on an external audio DSP, OEMs now have more options for optimizing their design without compromising on sound performance”.
