In a press statement issued today, Pure says: "This multi-faceted agreement will draw upon Imagination Technologies' breadth of processor, connectivity, cloud and audio technologies to complement Onkyo's market-leading audio expertise, premium brand and geographic reach.
"These will be brought together to enable Onkyo to deliver industry-leading connected audio capabilities across its product range."
