GreenWaves Showcases World's First AI-Based Audio Solutions for the GAP9 Application Processor at CES 2024

GreenWaves Technologies will be at CES 2024 with an interesting showcase of AI for audio applications. The company's GAP9 advanced AI processor is in volume production, and GreenWaves will be able to show several solutions that are enabling market leading hearable products. Demonstrations include audio advanced source separation models, and active noise cancellation with neural network based acoustic scene detection, as well as immersive 3D sound.

An apparently conventional true wireless stereo design, which survived multiple iterations with similarly looking designs, Australian startup Nuheara finally achieved its goal of standing out in a crowded consumer space, with the ability to enhance the user’s hearing ability. A bridge towards truly smart hearables, the Nuheara IQbuds2 MAX product enjoys critical acclaim thanks to a combination of great sound quality, advanced ANC and personalized hearing enhancement, powered by Austrian company ams.

Austrian high performance sensor manufacturer ams announced it provided an optimized digital Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) solution as a differentiating component to Padmate’s PaMu Quiet earbuds. The new cutting-edge TWS earbuds from the Chinese brand feature the latest ams AS3460 Digital Augmented Hearing combined with a Qualcomm Bluetooth SoC to deliver advanced ANC in a competitively priced, comfortable design with a design similar to the AirPods Pro.

IFA 2020, in Berlin, Germany, was "the first major global fair for consumer and home electronics" to physically take place since the pandemic. This limited push to promote a trade show again, lead some major consumer electronics companies and brands to converge their announcements in the week from September 1-5, with showcases streamed to the world live from the Berlin exhibition grounds. Some announcements were relevant to the audio industry and included the Qualcomm press conference, which used the opportunity to launch its latest Adaptive ANC platform, an important step towards smart true wireless earbuds.

ams showcased its new Earbud Innovation Demo Kit at CES 2020. The ready-to-use reference design shows how loose-fit true wireless earbuds can achieve selective noise cancellation for augmented hearing, while supporting features such as proximity sensing for automatic power saving and usability enhancements. Based on the new ams AS3460 Digital Augmented Hearing companion chip, the solution currently provides the world’s best performing noise cancellation for loose- and closed-fit earbuds.

ams announced a new digital noise cancellation technology that the Austrian sensor solutions supplier says will transform the experience of hearing music and voice calls when wearing new, more comfortable, loose-fit true wireless earbuds. The new Augmented Hearing Engine from ams supports development of features such as selectable noise cancellation to optimize listening when in social situations and allows audio manufacturers to develop highly differentiated product designs with unique capabilities.
