DCP: Tone Settings

The XL45 offers four different tone settings to provide an experience that
may be customized to fit a specific users need. The illustration above
shows how the four settings relate to each other and the amount of
amplification they give to the different frequencies of sound.
The best way to choose between the settings is to listen to them all and
decide which one provides the best telephone conversation experience.

DCP: Tone Settings
XL45
The first tone setting is one that emphasizes the low
frequency sounds.
This is for those who have a hard time hearing lower
pitched sounds.
This type of hearing need is common with those who
have noise-induced hearing loss.

The second tone is a flat amplification of all sounds.
For the user who wants full volume amplification for
every type of sound.
Suggested if the user wears a digital hearing aid while
using the phone.

XL45
The third tone setting is our set Clarity Power that begins to focus
more on the higher frequency sounds and add speech intelligibility.
It is a medium between tone setting two (2) and four (4).

The fourth tone setting provides full emphasis on speech
intelligibility using Clarity’s Multi-Band Compression.
This setting intelligently amplifies the human voice
and reduces noise and sharp sudden sounds during
the telephone conversation.
