“With the integration of multi media experiences into a broadening range of consumer electronics, the pressure is on designers to excel in the crucial differentiators of Hi-Fi audio performance and extended battery life. Wolfson’s technology is a key enabler in meeting those expectations and the addition of Acal as UK/Benelux distributor will enable Wolfson to bring these product differentiators to even more customers,” said Wolfson Microelectronics’ senior v-p worldwide sales, Alistair Banham.
“With the growth in telematics and automotive infotainment systems, as well as higher expectations for audio quality in consumer products, more designers are facing the challenge of combining the disciplines of digital and analogue design and we will provide the appropriate design expertise and experience to complement each customers’ own area of specialisation,” explained ACAL Technology’s Sales and Marketing Director, Steve Carr.
