CES 2013
LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- (Business Wire)
CSR plc (LSE: CSR; NASDAQ: CSRE) today announced it has signed a
multi-year licensing agreement with Sony Corporation (TYO: 6758, NYSE:
SNE) to enable the consumer electronics giant to incorporate CSR aptX®
audio codec technology into a new generation of high-fidelity Bluetooth®
audio accessories. Sony® is incorporating the CSR aptX
technology and associated CSR Bluetooth® audio chips in a range of
exciting new speaker product offerings to ensure the best possible
Bluetooth stereo audio listening experience, and is introducing its
first aptX-powered products at the International CES 2013.
“Sony is one of the truly iconic consumer electronics brands and its
adoption of the CSR aptX codec marks a significant milestone in this
technology’s evolution as the de facto industry standard for
streaming high-fidelity audio over Bluetooth links,” said Anthony
Murray, Business Group SVP at CSR. “From the transistor radio to the
compact disc to the Walkman® music player and more, Sony has been at the
forefront of audio innovation for more than half a century, and we are
delighted that it has now chosen to implement aptX into a range of new
speaker products for 2013 and beyond.”
CSR aptX
audio codec technology enables the delivery of CD-quality stereo audio
wirelessly over Bluetooth connections and is at the heart of many of the
world’s most popular consumer electronics products.
