ARC® Sound Subsystems


Designed by Audio Professionals


ARC Sound is the only Audio DSP on the market fully designed and supported from hardware to the consumers ear by Audio professionals in one company. This results in low risk for SoC and OEM customers alike, and also in an undeniably high quality listening experience.

Enable Capture and Playback of Studio Quality Audio


As consumers demand a better experience from their multimedia-capable devices that capture, share and playback audio, designers have to build SoCs that enable high quality audio and at the same time allow extended operation. The ARC Sound Subsystem is capable of delivering studio quality audio using Sonic Focus post-processing technology and at the same time supporting long hours of playback time using Energy PRO active power management.

ARC Sonic Focus Audio Technology – Experience Studio Quality Sound

Ready for Enhanced Audio Clarity- Detail and Realism
In addition to broad support of audio/video formats, the ARC Sound Subsystem is Sonic Focus optmized. This revolutionary software recreates the clarity, detail and realism of an original performance from compressed audio sources such as stereo MP3.
