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.”
