After announcing its Bluetooth chip development strategy in Taiwan a few days ago, MediaTek's subsidiary Dafa Technology announced the launch of its new flagship wireless AI audio chip AB1595, and revealed that the first wave of application products will be available in the first quarter of 2025.
The AB1595 design emphasizes integrating functions that would otherwise require multiple chipsets into a single system-on-a-chip. This not only significantly reduces the internal space occupied by the chipsets, allowing application products to be smaller and lighter, but also boasts compliance with Microsoft Teams Open Office business certification.
Among them, AB1595 can perform collaborative processing through 10 sets of microphones, and use artificial intelligence algorithms to further reduce vocal noise. It can also adjust the noise reduction level and sound processing bandwidth according to environmental changes, so that different wearing actions can achieve stable noise reduction effects.
Dafa Technology stated that the AB1595 is its first audio chip with built-in artificial intelligence hardware acceleration design. It is also the fifth-generation audio chip on the same development platform it provides customers. It can be connected to customers' previously designed products and can significantly reduce product design costs while shortening the time required for products to enter the market. In addition, it can also be combined with customized software, hardware reference suggestions and tool resources, allowing customers to easily develop differentiated application products.
Compared to consumer-grade headphones, the AB1595's vocal noise suppression function has been upgraded from a previous 10dB reduction to a processing performance as low as 40dB. This is especially effective in noisy environments such as offices and cafes, allowing commercial-grade conversational functionality to be achieved on consumer headphones.
Furthermore, artificial intelligence algorithms enable users to clearly hear each other's voices while wearing headphones, even in noisy environments like airplane operations, baseball games, and subway trains. The hexa-core processor architecture utilizes multi-core computing to reduce power consumption, extending device battery life to up to 12 hours.
