Laird Technologies has licensed Apt-X audio codec technology for use in its Bluetooth BTM510/511and BTM520/521 wireless stereo audio modules. The technology optimises the objective sound quality of stereo audio channeled over the 2.4GHz ISM band from the wireless modules. Each module incorporates the CSR BlueCore5 Bluetooth 2.1 system-on-a-chip, which is used in digital entertainment devices. Each module comes pre-configured with apt-X audio codec software, eliminating the need to program in extra firmware. Designed by APTX, the technology transparently delivers wired audio quality over Bluetooth links. The non-destructive coding techniques means that the quality of the original source audio file (CD, MP3, AAC or FLAC), will be preserved over the Bluetooth A2DP link.
