The MAESTRO Advantage
The Benchmark for Performance,
Ease of Use, and Reliability
- Automatic Sound Management (ASM)
-
Automatic Sound Management (ASM)Make seamless transitions between listening environments without adjusting settings
Because your day takes place in a peaceful park or in a loud restaurant, in a music hall or on a relaxing beach, MAESTRO’s unique technologies are designed to provide outstanding performance for real life – automatically.
Other processors require users to make frequent program or setting changes in order to enjoy the best possible listening experience. Superior front-end processing featuring Automatic Sound Management detects changing listening situations on-the-go, adapting automatically so you (or your child) don’t have to.

FineHearing™
The world’s only coding strategy capable of processing the fine structure of sound
FineHearing technology introduces a new dimension to musical perception. The fine details of sound are processed in a new way to overcome the limitations of “traditional” envelope-based sound processing. FineHearing provides additional pitch information, especially in the low frequencies, that is essential for the appreciation of music.

Complete Cochlear Coverage (CCC)
Maximise the potential of the entire cochlea
The complete insertion of an especially long electrode array provides electrical stimulation to the entire cochlea – even in the apical, or uppermost, low-frequency region. The detailed cues that enhance sound quality and music tend to be low-pitched signals. By taking advantage of additional coding capabilities in low frequencies, Complete Cochlear Coverage allows for this information to be presented in the apex, thus allowing for an improved and more complex perception of music.
