LINX Audio Technology by Able Planet receives patent.

CLAREMORE, USA (SANEPR.com) February 22, 2008 -- Able Planet embeds their award-winning and patented LINX AUDIO Technology into their Active Noise Canceling Headphones.

What is LINX Audio Technology? LINX Audio Technology alters the audio signal to increase the intensity of higher frequency harmonics.

Hearing loss associated with age usually begins in the higher frequencies or the "higher tones." If you lose the ability to clearly hear these tones, sounds like "f", "s", and "th" will be difficult to discriminate and music may not sound as lively.

LINX Audio Technology creates high frequency harmonics that enhance sound quality and speech clarity of difficult to hear words or notes, which increase the perception of loudness without increasing the volume.

LINX Audio Technology provides full rich sound and enhanced speech clarity even at lower volumes, which may lead people to turn the volume down and possibly preserve their hearing. An analogy of a richer sound might be the difference you hear when you play a "c" note on a piano, as opposed to a "c" chord. The "c" chord demonstrates the impact of adding harmonics to the audio signal.

LINX Audio Technology removes undesirable sound and noise, making it easier to hear high frequency words or notes where clarity is often lost, maximizing full rich sound for music and enhancing clear voice for speech intelligibility. Increasing volume increase all sounds, including distortion. As volume is increased, standard audio products hard clip peaks with traditional square-edge characteristics. LINX Audio Technology reduces, harsh sounds by soft-clipping distortion.

Testing has shown that LINX Audio Technology reduces electromagnetic interference that creates an audible noise when communication devices are placed near a hearing aid. Unlike current hearing aid compatible technologies, LINX Audio Technology does not rely upon electromagnetic couplings, which enable Able Planet Active Noise Canceling Headphones to be used with or without hearing aids.
