2012 International CES - CSR plc (LSE:CSR) (NASDAQ:CSRE) today announced that NAD Electronics has implemented CSR aptX audio compression technology to deliver enhanced audio in the new NAD? VISO 1 Wireless Digital Music System. aptX digital signal processing software not only enables VISO 1? users to enjoy their music via any Bluetooth® device, but it also integrates wirelessly with aptX enabled source devices including the Samsung Galaxy? Tab 7.0 Plus, Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, Motorola Razr? and the Sharp AQUOS PHONE SH-01D?. When used in conjunction with aptX enabled source devices, it ensures that users have the best Bluetooth stereo listening experience possible.

"We've gone to great lengths to make certain that the NAD VISO 1 Wireless Digital Music System has the highest quality audio on the market," said Greg Stidsen, Director of Technology and Product Planning for NAD Electronics. "aptX audio compression technology met every one of our criteria for delivering the best possible audio experience for our customers - aptX was really the only choice." The VISO 1 has been awarded a CES Innovations 2012 Design and Engineering Award.

The continual convergence of personal portable electronic devices means that more and more people store music on the same device they use for phone calls, text messaging, web surfing, photography, navigation, shopping, banking and more. aptX audio technology has now made it possible for NAD to create an outstanding wireless music system that leverages Bluetooth to deliver CD-quality sound, without requiring that users relinquish their favourite device simply because of a limitation within their music system.

"We've been very impressed with the NAD VISO 1 at every step - from concept through design and production," said Noel McKenna, Senior Director of aptX for CSR. "We're pleased that aptX has enabled NAD Electronics to combine full-featured wireless music capability with the CD-quality audio experience the market now demands."
