SigmaTel Inc., a leader in mixed-signal multimedia semiconductors, today announced its new family of 8-channel Theater Quality audio codecs, targeted at rapidly growing consumer audio applications such as AV receivers, surround sound processors, set-top boxes, DVD recorders, Hi-Fi systems, and PC soundcard applications. The STAC9480/9481 is the latest extension of SigmaTel's leading PC audio codec technologies into the consumer audio space following its recent introduction of the SGTV58xx line of high fidelity TV audio processors.

Not only do the STAC9480/9481 audio codecs offer very high-performance, with DAC SNR up to 110dB, but these devices also feature digital interface connectivity, SPDIF transceiver functions, and highly flexible data switching to ensure optimal audio fidelity with ease of component interconnection. The STAC9481 further supports the ADAT(R) Optical interface for use in professional grade audio equipment.
