CAP
(Common Audio Profile)
A core, low-level Bluetooth profile that enables LE Audio, the newer standard for all kinds of audio over Bluetooth wireless connections.
See: LE Audio
CAP works hand-in-hand with BAP (Basic Audio Profile) to implement LE Audio. A phone must support Bluetooth 5.2 (or newer), BAP, and CAP to use LE Audio, including new features such as broadcast (one-to-many) audio services. A number of other profiles are also required for LE Audio to function.
