SONNET EAS Automatic Sound Management

Always Adaptable

If you have a busy lifestyle, you can find yourself in many places during the day, such as busy offices and noisy restaurants. SONNET EAS uses ASM 2.0 and dual microphone technology to let you focus in on the conversation, not the background noise. With less time spent manually changing settings, you can just enjoy chatting with family and friends.

Microphone Directionality focuses your hearing by using two microphones to sharpen the sounds in front of you. This gives you better listening, especially in noisy settings.

Wind Noise Reduction minimises continuous wind noise, making it easier to hear in outdoor settings. The wind noise reduction can be adjusted for your specific needs.

Automatic Volume Control continuously monitors your environment and seamlessly adjusts volume levels to ensure every sound is heard clearly and comfortably.
