Audio processing algorithm including multiple-microphone noise cancellation is now available on CSR's BlueCore5-Multimedia Bluetooth platform.

SoundClear with multi-mic noise cancellation is now available on CSR's BlueCore5-Multimedia Bluetooth platform The SoundClear multi-mic solution will allow CSR's BlueCore5-Multimedia customers to use two microphones and features noise cancellation and speech enhancement to reduce background noise and optimise speech intelligibility in products such as Bluetooth headsets, automotive navigation, hands-free systems, and mobile handsets

The software enables a natural high quality bidirectional conversation with acoustic echo cancellation, noise cancellation, and full-duplex control.

The full-duplex control dynamically monitors, detects, and processes incoming voice, echo, and noise signal power levels to deliver clear and natural audio.

"Consumers are demanding more of their wireless devices in terms of performance, audio quality and power consumption".

"BlueCore-Multimedia with SoundClear caters to this trend and provides a powerful base for future evolution", commented Anthony Murray, Senior Vice President of CSR's Wireless Audio Strategic Business Unit.

"We are pleased to add Acoustics' field proven SoundClear solution offering enhanced noise cancellation, echo cancellation and voice quality".

"Adding multi-mic noise cancellation to our existing SoundClear product raises the sound quality bar even higher for headsets, hands-free kits, and other products requiring higher levels of noise cancellation", said Bob Ackmann, CEO of Acoustic Technologies.

"We are pleased to further extend our product offerings for the CSR BlueCore products and to extend our relationship with the world leader in Bluetooth".

Multi-mic SoundClear software for the BlueCore5 is available for immediate integration.
