Qualcomm® S7 and S7 Pro Gen 1 Sound Platforms

Qualcomm® S7 and S7 Pro Gen 1 Sound Platforms

The S7 and S7 Pro Gen 1 Sound platforms deliver six times more compute power, and almost 100 times more AI power than previous generation platforms, with advanced connectivity options and Snapdragon Sound, in an ultra-low power architecture. They have been designed to deliver a new premium tier of performance unlike anything listeners have heard before.

The S7 Pro Platform also includes a worldclass Wi-Fi solution that will extend the capability and range of audio devices far beyond what is possible with only Bluetooth, whilst maintaining the ultra-low power performance we have come to expect from earbuds and headsets. To do this, we have leveraged our rich heritage and expertise in Wi-Fi connectivity to deliver a dedicated Wi-Fi solution for earbuds and headphones.

The Qualcomm® S7 Pro Platform (Qualcomm® QCC7226 + QCP7321) is the first to support micro-power Wi-Fi connectivity and our revolutionary new Qualcomm® Expanded Personal Area Network (XPAN) which transform the sound experience by enabling whole home and building coverage, supporting up to 192 kHz lossless music streaming and enhanced sound for gaming with spatial audio.

Powerful on-device AI and the Qualcomm neural network accelerator enables a stepchange in concurrent processing at ultra-low power. Working in conjunction with Active Noise Cancellation and Personal Sound Amplification technologies, the on-device AI enables earbuds and headsets to become much more responsive to listener needs, environment, and preferences as they transition throughout their day.

In addition to this, the platform is packed with premium audio technologies, including Qualcomm® 4th Gen Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and fully programmable, low-latency DSP to provide powerful ANC, as well as enabling hearing loss compensation and personal sound amplification products.
