IntelliSonic Speech Enhancement
&Noise Control Solutions

Intelligibility is the key focus of the IntelliSonic Speech Enhancement & Noise Control solutions from Knowles. IntelliSonic algorithms have been developed with clarity and intelligibility as design goals to improve the quality of speech communications in noisy and loud environments.

Superior Performance

IntelliSonic technology provides superior performance with the ease of utilizing Omni-Directional microphones. Alternative solutions require the use of Uni-Directional microphones for improving noise control. This requires extensive acoustic design and precise multi-porting configurations. Therefore, Omni-Directional microphones provide the best acoustic response and ease of design integration for your mobile products. IntelliSonic technology coupled with our family of SiSonic MEMS microphones; provide best in class performance brought to you from the leader in Acoustic Solutions.

 

Our proprietary algorithms offer protection against:

  • » Non-stationary interference and background speech (e.g. acoustic environments in restaurants
      and airports)
    » Ambient background noise (e.g. fans, motors, car cabin noise, etc.)
    » Acoustic echo (feedback from speakers in close range)

 

Configurable Options

IntelliSonic is configurable to work with single or dual microphone elements.

    » Single microphone solutions offer:
    o Ambient Noise reduction
    o Acoustic Echo Cancellation
    » Two microphone array solutions offer:
    o Adaptive Beam-Forming - This configuration is designed to work with array lengths
       ranging from a fixed 2cm to a flexible 5-30 cm length. This parameter is easily
       configurable to suit your application needs.
