PXC 310 BT
The PXC 310 BT headphones provide undisturbed music enjoyment in
noisy environments even without the constrictions of cables. Their
supra-aural, closed design and the latest active noise compensation tech-
nology (NoiseGard) make the PXC 310 BT especially suitable for use with
in-flight entertainment systems. Due to their active and passive attenua-
tion of ambient noise, they let you enjoy music even in noisy environ-
ments.
Bluetooth
The PXC 310 BT comply with the new Bluetooth 2.1 standard. Via their
Bluetooth interface, they can be connected to a wide variety of Bluetooth
enabled devices. Bluetooth wireless technology allows the PXC 310 BT to
communicate with your Bluetooth enabled device (e.g. mobile phone, MP3
player, PC or PDA) within a range of up to 10 meters.
apt-X®
With apt-X audio coding, you can be assured of crisp, pure and full stereo
sound. It allows you to not only hear, but experience and feel the audio as
it was intended. Utilizing apt-X, Bluetooth technology can now offer
wireless audio quality that is indistinguishable from the highest quality
wired connection.
From major public broadcasters to film production studios, apt-X is used
throughout the world to transmit high quality digital audio from A to Z in
real-time. It was developed to meet the exacting standards of musicians
and audio engineers who love the exceptional dynamic range and high
fidelity it provides.
Now available on selected consumer devices, the apt-X technology ensures
that music lovers everywhere can stream the rich listening experience that
only apt-X can deliver.
NoiseGardTM
The NoiseGard active noise compensation system is based on the principle
of cancelling out sound using "anti-sound" (phase-inverted sound). Tiny
microphones pick up low-frequency ambient noise (up to 1 kHz) near the
ear. The NoiseGard electronics use this noise to generate a sound wave
which is the exact opposite (IE: at the same level but polarity reversed
180° out-of-phase), the effect being that the polarity reversed signal
cancels most of the outside noise.
TalkThrough
The PXC 310 BT headphones have a TalkThrough function, which allows
you to communicate with other people without having to remove the
headphones. When TalkThrough is activated, professional quality micro-
phones mounted on the outside of the headphones pick up all acoustic
signals in the immediate vicinity. Annoying background noise is electroni-
cally filtered out, only allowing the voice of the other person to pass
through the headphones clearly.
