Various News Regarding ACQUA
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.
