Description

APT is a manufacturer of hardware based audio codec solutions for the Broadcast, Broadcast Supply and Post-Production industries.

APT was formed in 1989 and has established itself at the forefront of its field, successfully developing the high quality 4:1 compression algorithm marketed as apt-X™.

apt-X™ has established itself throughout the audio industry as the ultimate high quality, low delay audio data compression technique available. Using Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM) principles, apt-X™ is able to offer high quality audio even after numerous encode/decode cycles and the lowest latency available – less then 3ms at an audio sampling rate of 48kHz.

APT has also developed the WorldNet series of hardware audio codecs which incorporate the apt-X™ compression technology. These products have achieved international penetration in the world of broadcasting and telecommunications.

The WorldNet product range is sold chiefly to the broadcast and professional audio industry. More than 10,000 radio stations around the world use apt-X™ as their distribution / contribution and storage medium of choice and the technology is particularly suited to contribution links within DAB networks. apt-X™ is also favoured by many post-production studios and audio professionals.
