Headphones have a strap that rests on top of the head, positioning a pair of speakers over both ears. For listening to music or monitoring live performances and audio tracks, both left and right channels are required. . Due for release in the first half of 2007, the high quality headphones utilise CSR's BlueCore3-Multimedia's integrated DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive and CVC See CSC. (Clear Voice Capture) technology. With a tiny 7x7mm form factor, BlueCore3-Multimedia has minimum impact on the overall aesthetics of end-user products and allows for exceptionally compact Bluetooth devices. Weighing barely an ounce, the MOTOROKR S9 features compact 1.3 cm in-ear speakers and achieves up to six hours of playback from a single charge. Compatible with Bluetooth-enabled stereo music phones and MP3 players, the behind-the-head style headphones offer fingertip fin·ger·tip n. The extreme end or tip of a finger. control of music and voice calls as well as automatic music muting. CSR's BlueCore3-Multimedia is a single chip Bluetooth radio and baseband IC with 8Mbits of internal Flash memory as well as an on-chip DSP and stereo CODEC. The embedded Kalimba DSP core is an open platform co-processor that supports enhanced audio applications such as echo and noise cancellation. BlueCore3-Multimedia has been designed to reduce the number of external components required which ensures production costs are minimised while also incorporating auto-calibration and use cases to simplify development, type approval and production tests. In addition, the Motorola stereo headphones use CSR's CVC. CVC is a world-leading echo and noise cancellation solution, which adapts to a number of different environments in order to enhance voice communications. Rather than suppressing noise like many competing technologies, CVC separates out the voice signals using proprietary time-domain signal extraction and improves audio quality regardless of hardware deployment, audio interface, operating system or speech recognition applications.
