Turnkey Development of
Next-Generation Smart Soundbars
& Wireless Home Theater Systems

Very few companies can genuinely claim end-to-end Soundbar and Wireless Home Theater product development — from hardware architecture to production-ready certification. AMI Technologies delivers exactly that: a complete turnkey development service encompassing hardware, software, wireless audio transport, audio processing pipelines, mobile applications, and manufacturing support — all built on the Qualcomm® QCS400 Series Smart Audio SoC.

Next-generation smart soundbar and wireless home theater platforms developed end-to-end by AMI Technologies.

The Challenge OEMs Face

Modern soundbars and wireless home theater systems demand far more than audio decoding. OEMs and product innovators face significant complexity when developing premium home entertainment products — spanning multiple engineering disciplines that must converge seamlessly in a single production-ready platform.

Hardware Platform Development

AMI developed the complete hardware platform based on the Qualcomm QCS400 Series Smart Audio SoCs — purpose-built for premium smart speakers, soundbars and immersive home audio systems with support for Dolby Atmos®, DTS®, AI processing and advanced audio post-processing.

AMI's hardware responsibilities span the entire design cycle: system architecture, schematics design, PCB layout, power management design, HDMI integration, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth integration, audio codec integration, wireless audio TX/RX modules, manufacturing support, prototype bring-up, and full validation and debug.

Software Stack — BSP to Mobile Apps

AMI developed the complete software stack from BSP to user-facing applications. The QCS40x software architecture integrates audio frameworks, connectivity management, BLE onboarding, voice frameworks, streaming services, and multimedia pipelines into a cohesive production platform.

From Linux BSP and audio pipeline development to full iOS/Android mobile applications with BLE provisioning.

Platform Bring-Up & Audio Framework

The software platform covers Linux BSP integration, driver development, boot optimization, device configuration, and manufacturing utilities. On top of that sits a sophisticated audio framework handling pipeline design, playback frameworks, multi-room synchronization, wireless audio streaming, and latency optimization.

Middleware & Streaming Integration

AMI integrates the full Qualcomm Audio Development Kit (ADK), PulseAudio, GStreamer Frameworks, and wireless audio frameworks — alongside streaming services integration and device management services for a complete production platform.

HDMI & Immersive Audio Integration

AMI integrated complete home entertainment connectivity — supporting HDMI 2.1, ARC, eARC, SPDIF, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi streaming, Ethernet, and USB Audio. The platform decodes and renders the full spectrum of immersive audio formats including Dolby Atmos®, Dolby Audio Processing, DTS®, DTS Virtual®, PCM, and multi-channel audio.

Wireless Speaker Ecosystems

AMI developed both wireless transmitter and receiver architectures enabling scalable home theater deployments. The platform supports wireless surround speakers, wireless subwoofers, multi-room audio, and whole home audio distribution — with integrations spanning WiSA, Qualcomm AllPlay, Linkplay, and DTS Play-Fi ready architectures. Synchronized playback reaches up to 24-bit / 96kHz with multi-zone audio distribution.

Mobile Applications,AMI Designer & Audio Tuning

To provide a seamless user experience, AMI developed complete mobile control solutions for both Android and iOS — covering BLE provisioning, device discovery, source selection, volume and tone controls, EQ presets, multi-room management, and OTA firmware updates.

At the core of the audio subsystem is AMI Designer, our processor-agnostic audio design and tuning platform, powering advanced post-processing pipelines on the Qualcomm® Hexagon™ DSP. AMI Designer enables engineers to rapidly configure, tune, and deploy sophisticated audio algorithms while optimizing performance across multiple speaker configurations. Our audio engineering team developed production-ready audio experiences with extensive acoustic tuning and DSP optimization. Each audio channel can be individually tuned using custom EQ curves for room correction, tonal balancing, speaker compensation, and acoustic optimization. The platform supports parametric equalization, dynamic range control, bass management, loudness compensation, speaker protection, virtual surround processing, multi-channel rendering, and immersive audio enhancement. Combined with comprehensive acoustic engineering, system voicing, channel matching, latency optimization, and performance validation, the solution delivers a premium listening experience tailored to both soundbar and wireless home theater environments.

End-to-End Engineering Ownership

Unlike traditional software vendors, AMI Technologies owns the complete development cycle. This is the definitive competitive advantage AMI brings to OEMs: a single engineering partner accountable for every layer of the product.

Why OEMs Choose AMI Technologies

AMI Technologies combines deep expertise in embedded audio, DSP software development, wireless audio systems, Qualcomm platforms, Dolby and DTS ecosystems, multi-room audio, and audio productization — helping OEMs accelerate time-to-market while reducing development risk and engineering cost.

As home entertainment evolves toward immersive, wireless and intelligent audio experiences, turnkey product development becomes critical for OEM success. AMI Technologies continues to enable next-generation Soundbars, Wireless Home Theater Systems, Smart Speakers and Audio Hubs through complete hardware, software and audio engineering expertise — delivered as a single, accountable partner.
