| The latest version of the
analysis
system ACQUA (version 2.3) has been released recently.
Taking the requests and suggestions of many ACQUA
users into account, the HEAD acoustics developers, supported
by the Telecom consulting and sales teams, again achieved
numerous improvements with regard to speed, ease of use
and functionality. |
| Highlights of Version 2.3
are the support of the new VoIP front end MFE VIII as
well as the following new features: |
 |
 |
Simultaneous search in several data bases
incl. combined representation of curves in one diagram |
 |
 |
Storage of up to five mouth equalizations |
 |
 |
Automatic adjustment of playback level
within set marks by speech level specification (for comparing
signals with very different levels) |
 |
 |
Delta Relative Approach Analysis |
| The latter is a continuation
of the powerful Relative Approach Analysis. It serves
to verify the "originality" of a transmitted and processed
signals from the auditory perception of the human ear.
|
| The three-dimensional Delta
Relative Approach Analysis allows to verify whether the
user's expectations on the quality of the signal processing
(e.g. with noise reduction) are fulfilled. |

| In previous Telecom HEADlines
issues we already informed you on new developments with regard
to ACQUA
measurement standards. As could be expected, further updates
