Notes to Editors:

CSR's CVC DSP is a software based processor that utilizes the processing power of the existing embedded Bluetooth chip in the Supertooth Light, meaning that a second dedicated processor is not required for audio improvement. This results in reduced manufacturing costs which can then be passed onto consumers in a product that maintains (and even improves) on the high standards set by the Supertooth and Supertooth II Bluetooth Speakerphones.
