Tymphany To Showcase New Alexa Built-In Soundbar At IFA

News Image
Tymphany is to showcase its latest project, the new Alexa Built-In soundbar, at Amazon's exhibit at IFA in Berlin, 31 August - 05 September.
 
The Amazon Alexa Built-In soundbar features XMOS Vocal Fusion™ far-field voice processor as well as Tymphany’s acoustic expertise to create an immersive audio experience. The low frequency bass extension powered by Tymphany's patented, slim profile GBS subwoofers allows for smooth frequency response down to 50 Hz. Using Tymphany's A113D SOM and XMOS' XVF3500 stereo-AEC voice processor, the soundbar connects with the Amazon Alexa Voice Service (AVS) via WiFi and has an excellent far-field voice capture and barge-in performance from across the room – even when the Tymphany soundbar is playing content at high volume and the commands are spoken softly. The soundbar will include Amazon's signature LED light ring response and buttons, as well as provide access to Amazon Prime Music and TuneIn support.
 
"We're proud to have helped bring this project to life," said Mark Lippett, CEO of XMOS. "This new soundbar showcases the innovation, dedication and collaboration of the international partners involved."
 
With Tymphany's extensive resources and global engineering team, they have deep expertise and excellent partnerships across the entire signal chain, enabling them to deliver products that offer unique combinations of user experiences and features not achieved by other audio ODMs.
 
"Tymphany and XMOS have created a soundbar that enhances the listening experience by providing simple, hands-free interaction with Alexa," said Priya Abani, Director of the Alexa Voice Service. "We're excited to have a new solution that brings rich voice capabilities to our customers."
 
"We are extremely excited to introduce the Tymphany Alexa Built-In soundbar this year at IFA 2018. We are proud of our team's efforts to realise this complex, groundbreaking and great performing soundbar reference design. We would not have been able to achieve this milestone without the awesome support of the Amazon Alexa Voice Service and XMOS development teams," added Chris von Hellermann, Senior Director of Technology Management at Tymphany.

The Alexa Built-In soundbar will be on display at the Amazon booth in Hall 26, booth 201 at IFA.
