SEOUL, August 28, 2017 — The upcoming V series smartphone from LG will offer next-generation audio functions unseen in a smartphone before for a personalized
sound experience that is also easy to use. Developed in conjunction with
long-time experts in the audio space the LG V30 is a perfect example of the
partnership strategy behind developing the perfect mobile device for
audiophiles. 

Building
on the Hi-Fi Quad DAC first introduced by its predecessor, the LG V30 features a
32-bit Advanced Hi-Fi Quad DAC powered by ESS Technology’s SABRE ES9218P. LG’s
Hi-Fi Quad DAC presents two new features: digital filters and sound presets.
While the original Hi-Fi Quad DAC emphasized delivering Hi-Fi sound as close as
possible to the original source by minimizing distortion and white noise,
Advanced Hi-Fi Quad DAC offers more customizable options.

Digital
filters, normally only available in expensive digital audio players, improves the
pre- and post-ringing of the impulse response with filters that can be
customized to personal tastes. In developing sound presets, LG engineers
studied the characteristics of popular tones and identified the best combination
of sounds to create four optimal pre-programmed settings: enhanced, detailed,
live and bass. Even with ordinary equipment, LG V30 users can experience much
of the high-quality audio enjoyed by listeners using expensive headsets.

The
Hi-Fi Quad DAC controls left and right audio signals separately, adjusting
balance in such detail that listeners will feel as if they are standing in the
center of a concert hall. LG has managed to cut the distortion rate down to 0.0002
percent. The less information lost when converting digital data into analog
waveform, the clearer the resulting sound is. The audio paths are wider than
ever in the V30 so it can process large, high-quality audio files without any
lag and with greater accuracy.

The
LG V30 also includes technology from partner company MQA Ltd. that facilitates
high resolution audio streaming, the next big trend in mobile music. This
allows the V30 to combine its stellar Quad DAC with MQA technology for a listening
experience that will touch the heart as well as the ears. Music fans can enjoy
high-resolution audio without the inconvenience of downloading huge files or using
up large amounts of mobile data to get great sounding music through the V30.

What’s
more, the HD Audio Recorder in the V30 features the capability to use the audio
receiver of the phone simultaneously as a microphone (Receiver-as-a-Mic or RAM).
The RAM can record loud sounds clearly, so the LG V30 can record a wider
dynamic range of sounds, from a whisper to a thunderstorm, without distortion.

“With
the V30, LG and our partners are pushing the boundaries of smartphone audio to
enable a more bespoke listening experiences,” said Juno Cho, president of LG
Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The combination of its advanced
Hi-Fi audio technology and the superb images generated by its OLED FullVision
display makes the LG V30 a true multimedia powerhouse.”

With
the V30, LG continues its close partnership with B&O PLAY. B&O PLAY
refined the audio capabilities in the V30 by fine-tuning the overall sound experience
and adding its own exclusive touch. A set of high quality B&O PLAY earphones
comes bundled with the V30 for hours of listening pleasure with style.

“For
most people, listening to the music they love is a fundamental part of their lives
and they expect the same uncompromised experience and quality from their
headphones as they do from the mobile device they source music from,” said John
Mollanger, CEO of B&O PLAY. “That’s why B&O PLAY is very excited for
our long-term partnership with LG and satisfying global music lovers world
over.”
