Smart Speakers

Smart Speakers are on the rise – not least because of their multi-tude of uses, from listening to music or watching movies to communicating with smart home control. Each of these applica-tions poses special challenges for the device: users want to enjoy music in all its fullness, no matter where the speaker is placed – in the living room or on the kitchen floor. Voice commands should be recognized immediately, no matter how far away the user is or whether music is playing in the background.
For all these use cases, upHear has got your back: The upHear Virtualizer provides optimal spatial sound while upHear Flexible Rendering widens the acoustic space even more by connecting multiple devices. And upHear Voice Quality Enhancement ensures crystal clear voice signals at the same time.
