Overview:
In the move to portable, low power systems, suddenly microphones are producing bits, and class-D amplifiers provide complicated switching waveforms directly to the speaker terminals. To make it even more confusing, the boundaries between the audio CODEC and the DSP processing are blurring, as CODECs take on the tasks of digital equalization, dynamics processing, and more. But does this mean that SNR, THD, and frequency response must be sacrificed?
Join our panel of audio technology experts for a live roundtable discussion and insight into the techniques and problems of producing high fidelity portable audio for today's demanding market.
