Marketed as Discovery, the module is designed for fixed, low-latency wireless audio transmission and includes the following features:
- Support for up to four independent 48kHz PCM audio channels
- Fixed source-to-speaker latency meeting video lip-sync requirements
- Dynamic Network Optimization (Dyno™), technology for wireless link reliability and robustness
- Low inter-channel delay between speakers ensuring a distortion free experience.
“Espressif is the perfect partner to help develop and launch the Discovery module,” said Brett Moyer, president and CEO of Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc. “We were looking for a partner whose module could meet our performance and reliability expectations for entry-level immersive audio systems and Espressif’s module met all the requirements. There is no better proof than the testing done by an independent test house demonstrating that the Discovery module at 2.4GHz performs better than competing 5GHz products sold in the marketplace today while also supporting additional audio channels.”
