ARC® Sound Subsystems

Enable Capture and Playback of Studio Quality Audio


As consumers demand better and 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 playback time. ARC Sound subsystems are 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.

Sonic Focus Audio Technology – Experience Studio Quality Sound
