ADM applicationsADM applicationsCellular PhonesCellular Phones
ADM is perfect for cellular phones. ADM technology significantly improves signal quality for both speakerphone (far-talk) and handset (close-talk) phone usage.

Hearing aidsHearing aidsADM works very well in hearing aids. It provides high attenuation of ambient noise and other off-axis sounds. Mic.1 Mic.2
ReporterReporter’’s microphones microphoneADM excellent and adaptive directivity combined with its immunity to wind noise makes it ideal technology for such application.
Conference microphoneADM excellent directivity, lack of proximity effect and low sensitivity to popping and puffing sounds eliminates most of conference microphone problems.
