NXP Semiconductors today announced that Turtle Beach – a leading gaming headset maker, chose NXP’s NXH3670 to deliver powerfully immersive Waves Nx 3D surround sound and crystal-clear chat experience for its recent retail launch of its Elite Atlas Aero Wireless High-Performance Headset for PC Gamers and Streamers. The NXH3670 is NXP’s proprietary 2.4 GHz wireless audio streaming solution designed for gaming and communication headsets and features ultra-low audio latency and industry-lowest power consumption.
The NXP NXH3670 audio streaming solution is a highly integrated, single-chip ultra-low-power 2.4 GHz wireless transceiver, embedding both an Arm® Cortex®- M0 microcontroller (which runs the protocol stack) as well as, an embedded Coolflux® DSP (running all of the audio processing including sample rate conversion and audio compression). Measuring only 7.25 mm2, the BLE 4.2 certified device is targeted at robust, high-quality wireless audio streaming at very low latency, targeting applications such as gaming and communications headsets, as well as soundbars, wireless microphones, and wireless speakers.
The NXH3670’s efficient streaming protocol reduces the power consumption to 8.5 mw, which allows for exceptional battery life, enabling the Elite Atlas Aero headset to provide seamless, continuous audio for up to 30-hours.
