Automotive Audio

1. Auxiliary Amplifier Interface

Rich Audio offers a portfolio of interface products to enable compatibility with an auxiliary amplifier, or other types of system components. Solutions support a variety of interface formats or provide sample rate conversion where required.



2. Ethernet AVB

In an Ethernet AVB application, the network provides low rate time stamps typically in the 1-4 kHz range. Audio DACs require a significantly higher input clock rate. The RA2000 multiplies the low rate Ethernet AVB time stamps to produce the high rate clock required by the DAC. In addition, the RA2000 reduces jitter to ensure clock stability and enable high-quality audio performance.



3. Interactive Navigation System

Interactive Navigation Systems offer convenience and enhanced safety by responding to voice commands from the driver and providing audible turn by turn directions.
Accurate voice recognition is critical to the performance of these systems. A dedicated system outside of the Head Unit SOC is an effective way to ensure reliable voice recognition. Rich Audio offers a variety of MEMS microphones, ADCs, and DACs to enable high-performance interactive navigation systems.



4. Surround Sound

Surround sound systems utilize additional speakers and advanced processing algorithms to create realistic sound reproduction. These advanced algorithms often require a dedicated DSP to ensure the highest possible level of performance.



5. Voice Capture and Playback

Rich Audio provides a wide range of high-performance, low-cost microphones, ADCs, and DACs for voice capture and playback solutions in automotive audio applications.
