ESS’ SMART family of Products with integrated Audio Signal Processing (ASP) can be easily programmed with high level of flexibility using SABRE Intelligence Studio Graphical User Interface (GUI)

May 12th, 2025 – San Jose, California – ESS Technology, Inc., the industry leader in audio semiconductor devices, today released the SABRE Intelligence Studio (SI Studio) to help simplify system design and programming of their integrated ASP in the SMART Audio products.

The SI Studio is a drag-and-drop environment tool that can be used to program ESS’ versatile 2nd Generation Audio Signal Processor (ASP2). It encompasses a collection of programming blocks that can be combined to allow for a wide variety of customization and makes it an impressive tool for a multitude of Audio applications.

The SI Studio incorporates predefined blocks including Multi-band PEQ, DC block, Crossovers, Companders including DRC (Dynamic Range Compression), Mixers, RIAA filters and Stereo Wideners.  In addition, customers can easily integrate their proprietary code using exported text files.

The powerful ASP2 hardware integrated into the ESS SMART products and ability to program it easily using SI Studio helps customers to reduce time to market, eliminate external components like an external DSP while optimizing for the best audio performance.

For example, the ES9082 SMART DAC, delivering a True DNR of +120dB and -108dB THD+N with 2VRMS line driver for each of the 8-channels, can easily be optimized using SI Studio to program it’s integrated ASP2. This gives customers flexibility to achieve the best audio performance for their unique application.

The newly introduced, Flagship performance ES9823MPRO, ES9823PRO and ES9843PRO SMART ADCs which also incorporate the ASP2 can be programmed using SI Studio and use the same programming blocks.

The SI Studio is now available to customers to use with ESS SMART Products.  Please inquire with your ESS FAE or distributor on how to register for the software and documentation.
