Studio sound processing now in multimedia chip

Austriamicrosystems and SPL electronics have concluded a collaboration to integrate SPL's Vitalizer studio sound processing into the AS3525 multimedia chip. This enhances the powerful single chip music player IC with sound processing capabilities previously only available in professional music production studios. According to the companies, the AS3525 chip offers a number of sound processing presets tuned by experts for listening pleasure and user-friendly operation. The presets are adapted to the specifics of audio recordings in the past decades, says Austriamicrosystems, dating from today's music back to the 1950s - there is a preset for each decade. One general preset can be applied for all types of music and a special preset is provided for 'ageless classical recordings'. Beyond traditional frequency or level manipulation techniques, the patented Vitalizer processing technology implements psychoacoustic and audiometric principles with a broad range of complex algorithms. Since the processing optimises audio signals in accordance to the human hearing and sound perception, the effect is said to be a more natural sound impression as opposed to being processed.
