Press Releases

Edinburgh, UK, 15th August 2012 - Wolfson Microelectronics plc, a global leader in the design and development of mixed-signal semiconductors and High Definition (HD) Audio solutions for the consumer electronics market, has today announced that its digital signal processing (DSP) software ATLAS has been selected by Nokia for its Reaction Bluetooth® Headset.

Developed by Wolfson's Dynamic Hearing division, ATLAS is specifically designed to optimise the audio performance of Bluetooth® headsets. The software uses the microphone signals in the headset to capture the user's voice from the surrounding noise, thus improving the quality of the conversation.

Anthony Shilton, General Manager of Wolfson Dynamic Hearing, said: "ATLAS is optimised to help deliver crystal-clear audio and reduced background noise for Bluetooth® headsets, and it is great news that Nokia is featuring our software in its Reaction Bluetooth® Headset."

Nokia's Reaction Bluetooth® headset is completely automatic and features three microphones and automatic volume control to deliver amazingly clear audio and help block out background noise.
