Audio Effects

As the mobile industry grows, consumers continue to demand higher and higher quality audio from their mobile devices. To help meet this demand, SONiVOX offers several Audio Enhancer software modules, designed to enhance digital audio playback of MIDI, MP3 and other audio streams. Modules can be licensed separately or together.

SONiVOX' audio effects algorithms are uniquely designed for embedded systems and small footprint consumer devices. To this end, the algorithms are highly specialized for small memory and MIPS footprints while maintaining a high degree of quality.

The effects module is designed such that it can work with any audio system that accepts a standard 16 bit (or higher) audio stream as its input. This allows the software module to sit easily on a host or DSP processor in embedded systems.

The following effects are available:

SONiVOX Booster™ - The SONiVOX Booster software module provides the ability to add variable amounts of compression and expansion to the output audio. This is useful, for instance, in assuring MIDI audio output such as ringtones playback at consistent and maximized levels.

Reverberation - The SONiVOX Reverb software module allows users to select from several room ambiances ranging from small chambers to large halls. Input to the module can be any defined audio stream, mono or stereo.

Chorus - The SONiVOX Chorus software module taps into MIDI and digital audio signals to provide a wider, thicker sounding output. The API allows for modulation of the effects for specialized game play.

High Frequency Enhancer - The SONiVOX Enhancer software module provides for additional high frequency presence in low sampling rate audio solutions.

Tone Control/EQ Presets - The SONiVOX Graphic Equalizer can be used to tailor a mix to user preferences, or for particular listening environments and product platforms.

Resampler - The SONiVOX Resample algorithm allows digital audio output streams to be sample-rate converted from one sampling rate to another so that they are compatible with downstream effects, mixing and D/A converters.

Mixer - The SONiVOX Mixer combines two or more input audio streams into one output stream, with selectable gain for each input stream.
