New Zealand (May 23, 2023)—Virscient has launched LiveOnAir, a brand new know-how for wi-fi mics and IEMs, that the corporate claims permits ultra-low-latency audio over low-power wi-fi hyperlinks.
Latency has at all times been a major concern in dwell efficiency eventualities in the case of working with wi-fi gear; cumulative latency as sound works its manner by a system can lead to a disconnect between performer and efficiency. With that in thoughts, the corporate says LiveOnAir supplies audio over long- or short-range wi-fi hyperlinks with a latency of lower than 5 milliseconds from analog-to-analog. The system can help a spread of topologies, codecs, and RF choices.
For low-power digital microphone purposes, Virscient has a {hardware}/software program reference design based mostly on Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF5340 dual-core Bluetooth Low Energy SoC. Virscient’s LiveOnAir answer for nRF5340 permits OEMs to ship wi-fi audio options supporting ultra-low-latency transport of 24-bit / 48 kHz audio with a compact {hardware} BoM.
