Realtek to Build WiSA Multichannel Spatial Audio Into 5GHz Chip Feature Set

Realtek will integrate WiSA’s multichannel spatial audio capabilities into its 5GHz IoT chip feature set, the companies said Thursday. The “cost-effective” IoT module will be capable of delivering high-definition, spatial audio streams, they said. Samples are expected to be available this year. Brett Moyer, CEO of WiSA parent company Summit Technologies, said Realtek’s deep list of tier one CE customers will help bring spatial audio capability “to the masses.”
