Tilde Voice First technology


 

What sets TILDE® VOICE FIRST apart from classic active noise cancellation?

TILDE® VOICE FIRST technology, developed and patented by Orosound, was awarded multiple times, of which by the Ministry of Research and the Directorate-General for Enterprise (DGE).

This selective noise-cancelling technology is the very first to take the direction and nature of sounds (noise vs voice) into account, thanks to a unique signal processing algorithm. With TILDE® VOICE FIRST, it is possible to isolate yourself from noise all the while interacting with your surroundings.

How does active noise cancellation (ANC) work?

Active noise cancellation (ANC) is a method which generates a “counter-noise” to create silence. This “counter-noise” is of the same range and is in phase opposition with the unwanted noise, so that both signals add up and cancel each other. Active noise cancellation supplements passive isolation and permits a cancellation on the whole audio spectrum.

Is the TILDE® VOICE FIRST technology recognized by renowned organizations?

Beyond being patented, the technology TILDE® VOICE FIRST was awarded multiple times, of which by the Ministry of Research, the DGE, VivaTech, Préventica & Expoprotection, as well as the European contest on working life quality, Spark Life.
