Goertek, Synaptics Partner on ANC Technology for USB Type-C Headphones
January 08 2018 - 8:00AM
Synaptics Incorporated (NASDAQ:SYNA), the leading developer of
human interface solutions, and Goertek, a global leader in acoustic
components, today announced Synaptics® AudioSmart® hybrid adaptive
digital noise cancelling technology has been adopted by Goertek for
use in a new range of advanced active noise cancelling (ANC)
headphones. Synaptics’ new noise cancelling technology is the
world’s-first single-chip integrated hybrid adaptive digital noise
cancelling solution for the wired USB Type-C standard.
Leveraging deep ANC product experience, Goertek has successfully
created the best performing USB Type-C ANC headphone reference
design on the market. The lightweight design delivers a high
performing and comfortable ANC experience while delivering
excellent sound quality. Goertek’s engineering team optimized the
product ergonomics to deliver outstanding comfort without
compromising on the superior audio response. This battery-less
reference design delivers a total solution of premium sound quality
without compromising ANC performance, comfort, or design.
Synaptics’ ultra-low latency and adaptive active noise
cancellation solution allows for deep (up to 50dB) and wide
frequency noise cancellation that adapts to the users environment
as well as the headphone position. Whether in-ear, over-ear, or
on-ear, Synaptics delivers best-in-class ANC in a variety of
acoustic design and form factors. AudioSmart noise cancelling
technology makes no compromises on music playback quality and
requires no post-processing to compensate for music dynamic range
loss that is often a characteristic of alternative noise cancelling
solutions.
“At Goertek we raised the bar on high-performance audio
solutions, and partnering with Synaptics helps us stay on the
cutting-edge by leveraging their innovative ANC technology into our
headset portfolio,” said Dr. Pen C. Li, vice president, Product
Marketing at Goertek. “As a leading ODM with a full breadth of
acoustic solutions, we acknowledge USB-C represents a paradigm
shift in digital headsets, and we are thankful for the superior
technology and support that Synaptics provides.”
“USB-C continues to gain traction with attach rates growing
significantly year-over-year across key global headset markets such
as for smartphones, or more immersive audiophile headphones,” said
Saleel Awsare, vice president and general manager, Audio and
Imaging Business at Synaptics. “Partnering with Goertek is a
terrific way to deliver our best-in-class adaptive hybrid ANC
technology with lossless dynamic range across Goertek’s broad
leadership portfolio of digital headsets.”
This joint development combines Synaptics’ Adaptive ANC
technology with Goertek’s deep product development experience to
deliver a superior ANC solution. The reference design enables
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) quicker time-to-market for
high-performing ANC Type-C headphones.
