Acoustic Technologies Introduces the ATR2000 Hands-Free Car Kit Reference Design; Complete Reference Design Based on Acoustic's ATH2400 Digital Voice Processing Engine.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MESA, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 31, 2003 Acoustic Technologies today introduced the availability of a complete reference design for hands-free car kit and telematics Originally coined to mean the convergence of telecommunications and information processing, the term later evolved to refer to automation in automobiles. GPS navigation, integrated hands-free cellphones, wireless communications and automatic driving assistance systems all come under the applications. Based on the company's ATH2400 Digital Voice Processing The computerized handling of voice, which includes voice store and forward, voice response, voice recognition and text to speech technologies. Integrated Circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for , the ATR ATR Achilles tendon reflex, see Ankle reflex 2000 reference kit is designed to provide easy design in and quick time to market. The ATH2400 leverages Acoustic Technologies' unique echo cancellation The elimination of an echo in a two-way voice transmission. Echo is created in the telephone company's central office switch when two-wire lines from the customer are converted to four-wire lines for backbone trunks. and voice processing technologies for cellular hands-free speakerphone applications. "The ATH2400 digital voice processor is the ideal device for enabling hands-free solutions," said Sam Thomasson, Acoustic Technologies president and chief executive officer. "The ATR2000 reference design is a complete system solution enabling customers to quickly introduce Bluetooth or wired hands-free car kit products." The ATR2000 hands-free car kit reference design comes complete with a fully functional car kit platform, design schematics, layout design files, bill of materials The list of components that make up a system. For example, a bill of materials for a house would include the cement block, lumber, shingles, doors, windows, plumbing, electric, heating and so on. , eXcho(TM) tuning software and comprehensive documentation. The reference design kit provides everything customers need to quickly evaluate the system and bring their products to market. The ATH2400 Digital Voice Processor combines patented echo cancellation and bi-directional noise reduction technologies, providing users with clear loudspeaker loudspeaker or speaker, device used to convert electrical energy into sound. It consists essentially of a thin flexible sheet called a diaphragm that is made to vibrate by an electric signal from an amplifier. volume for increased intelligibility and natural flowing conversations. The device includes unique sound enhancement techniques to increase audio fullness and presence for richer, clearer speech. Sound enhancement effects in the ATH2400 are tunable to specific plastic designs, speakers, microphones and user preferences.
