Andrea Electronics Ships SuperBeam™ “Boom-Free” Computer Headsets
September 13 2011 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Andrea Electronics Corporation (OTCBB: ANDR) today announces the
availability of its boom-free USB SuperBeam™ headsets. More
headphone than headset, SuperBeam™ stereo USB headsets feature an
in-line dedicated USB sound card which bypasses a computer’s built
in sound system to ensure superior audio performance and
compatibility. Superbeam™ headsets feature a ported transducer
design for rich deep bass, clear midrange and sparking highs, and
are the first to incorporate a separate microphone built into each
headphone housing for “boom-free” audio recording.
The dual microphone array works with Andrea’s patented Adaptive
Beam Forming technology to focus on the user’s voice while
cancelling background noise for unprecedented intelligibility when
making VoIP calls, video chatting, multiplayer gaming or using
speech recognition software. SuperBeam™ headsets can also be used
to make stereo 3D surround recordings and are available in two
models, SuperBeam™ Buds (earbuds) and SuperBeam™ Phones (on-ear
headphones), which come in black or white and retail for $129.95
and $149.95, respectively. To use your SuperBeam headset on your
smart phone, Andrea offers a Mobile Adapter cable ($9.95).
SuperBeam headsets are now available online at
shop.andreaelectronics.com and coming soon to Adorama, DataVision,
J&R, BestBuy.com and TigerDirect.com.
Boom-Free Technology
With full frequency response (20Hz-20kHz) miniature microphones
integrated into each earpiece, SuperBeam™ Headsets provide a better
user experience and performance than traditional single element
boom mics, which can produce inconsistent sound when improperly
placed. This boom-free design looks more natural during video
conferencing use and performs especially well in noisy environments
like an office, coffee shops or when travelling.
3D Surround Sound Recording
Technically called binaural recording, SuperBeam™ headsets
capture sound in the same phase and time as your own two ears,
creating lifelike recordings and playback that is truly three
dimensional. 3D surround recordings make YouTube videos that much
more engaging, and recording GarageBand tracks give listeners the
feeling that they are in the same room as the musician. Home movie
soundtracks will never be the same!
Take Command with Andrea’s Audio Commander™
SuperBeam™ headsets plug into Andrea’s included PureAudio™
external HD quality USB sound card that far exceeds the built-in
amplifier and digital audio converters found in laptops. Headset
settings are made using Andrea’s Audio Commander Software for
complete control of your newly upgraded computer audio system. From
a simple volume adjustment, to the programmable 10-band graphic EQ,
Audio Commander is where you can select a variety of beam forming
and noise cancellation settings, as well as make 3D surround
recordings. Just hit “record.”
“Earbuds and headphones have become an essential part of our
everyday life, and the role they play in computing is shifting with
the introduction of our SuperBeam™ family,” said Douglas Andrea,
president of Andrea Electronics Corporation. “With the growth of
VoIP calling, video creation, multiplayer gaming and voice
recognition software, listening is only half the equation. With a
growing need to communicate over the various applications of our
lives, we feel the ability to capture your voice without background
noise distractions will soon become a computing essential.”
An American Innovator
SuperBeam™ headsets are the latest innovation from Andrea
Electronics, an American-owned business since 1934. In the early
50’s, Andrea was among the very first elite U.S. television
manufacturers. In the 60’s the company designed the capsule’s
intercom communication system used in the first manned Mercury
space flight and military intercoms for F16 fighter jets and
helicopters. In 1998 Andrea pioneered microphone array technology,
which has become a standard for hands free VoIP communication
embedding its advanced noise cancellation technology into millions
of computers being produced by global manufacturers such as Dell
(NASDAQ: DELL), and HP (NYSE: HPQ).
