HiWave's efficient amplifier ICs adopted by Hercules to extend
battery life in portable wireless Hi-Fi speakers
25W WAE (Wireless Audio Experience) speaker gives 20 hours of
typical playback from single battery charge
Cambridge, UK, August 14, 2012: HiWave Technologies (LSE:HIW), a
provider of innovative audio amplifier ICs, full frequency range
speaker drivers and next generation haptic touch devices, today
announced a design win with Hercules (brand of
GuillemotCorporation), shipping its low power amplifier chips for
use in a new 25W portable wireless speaker system for the consumer
Hi-Fi sector - the WAE WSM01.
The WAE WSM01 uses HiWave's HiAS2002, the industry's most
efficient amplifier IC, todeliver over 20 hours of music playback
at typical usage levels; approximately 30 albums. HiWave's
amplifier IC is 10x more efficient under typical usage levels
compared with Class D amplifiers, the next most efficient amplifier
topology.
Launched in July 2012, the Hercules WAE WSM01 is the first in
Hercules' WAE (Wireless Audio Experience) family of wireless
consumer HiFi speakers. It has a wireless range of 20m and was
designed to connect to a central media server, PC or laptop from
anywhere in the home using a high quality proprietary wireless
standard (2.4GHz). Users connect Windows, Mac OS or Linux PC to the
speaker via a plug and play 2.0 USB dongle.
The battery powered speakers utilise the amplifier IC's on-board
equalisation system and digital signal processor to deliver a rich
bass (50Hz to 20KHz) and a high quality, non-clipping audio to
consumers.
The speakers are shipping now and are available in the UK,
Germany, France, Italy and Spain from leading stores priced at
GBP179 / EUR199.
"The wireless speakers we have launched give a fantastic depth
of audio with great bass and long battery life. The WAE WSM01 are
simple to use and look great, so we believe they will hit the right
area of the market," said Vincent Quere, product development
Manager with Hercules.
"Hercules is a well-known brand and audio specialist in computer
DJing and speaker systems, and the company has a strong track
record of producing popular, striking designs and we are very
excited that our low power amplifier technology is a key part of
this exciting new product," said James Lewis, CEO of HiWave.
