Technology
Hi-Fi Audio
Pixation technologies reproduce speech with high fidelity: 31.25 kHz microphone sampling; 62.5kHz PWM audio out; seven octave bandwidth (3DB: 50Hz to 9kHz)
Low Cost
Pixation technologies can be implemented on low-cost microcontrollers such as the 48MHz Microchip® ATSAMD21E17 using the ARM® Cortex M0+ Processor.
Listening Controls
Users can set their own Comfortable Listening Levels, Tonal Emphases and Synthetic Articulation. Built-in help functions make it easy.
Signal-to-Noise
Move beyond wide dynamic range compression with Pixation's controlled acoustic signal expansion technology. This technology greatly improves intelligibility in noisy environments.
Dip Listening
Pixation technologies continuously analyzes the sound environment to catch "acoustic glimpses" of speech, especially when fluctuating background noise levels decrease momentarily.
Low Power, Safety, and
So Much More!
A new level of performance: 5½ hours (typical) with a rechargeable 110mAh LiPo battery. Sound exposure limited to 85dBA time-weighted average.
