710631AEOLUS next generation noise cancellation for a better quality of lifeClosedGRD Proof of ConceptInnovate UKThe microphone & amplification/playback system has suffered from unwanted noise issues since its invention. These range from popping noises created by vocal plosives from consonants such as “P” & “B”, to mechanically-induced noise emanating from 2 separate sources: manual handling (MH) & wind buffeting (WB). These problems occur in a range of settings, from the very quiet, controlled environment of a recording studio to live recording outside where the uncertainty of Mother Nature prevails. As video technologies have advanced there has been an increased market for improved resolution of accompanying audio signal, therefore there is a need to remove unwanted noise at source.
