Smart Software Makes Announcements Intelligible

Feb-26-16 Designed to make loudspeaker announcements more understandable, the ADAPT DRC software automatically adjusts to be heard over the ambient noise.

Created by the team from Fraunhofer, the system relies on microphones located in specific areas of the venue that monitor the noise level to adjust the announcement in real time. Beyond simply making the announcement louder—which is not particularly effective—the ADAPT DRC software will reinforce specific pitches and frequencies, such as consonant sounds that are easily misheard.
