■ Overview

Spatializer Audio Processor is a signal processing technology, monopolized by Desper Products, Inc., that was developed for commercial electronics and multimedia markets, and is based on Despers “PRO Spatializer” that is a 3-D audio production system for business use. The AN7396K utilizes the innovative technology adopted in that system. It provides sound enhancement effect and sound expansion with the conventional 2-speaker stereo system. Moreover, the AN7396K is a sound processing IC which incorporates the I2C Bus-controllable mute, sound AGC, bass reinforcement, tone (bass and treble), balance, and volume circuits.
