BOHEMIA,
New York, July 13, 2009
--Andrea Electronics Corporation (OTCBB: ANDR), a leading
developer of innovative digital noise reduction and echo cancelation
software technologies, today announced the immediate availability
of a new version of AudioCommander 6.0, the company's advanced
software technology that improves audio performance on PCs.
New AudioCommander 6.0 provides a PC Audio Control Panel that
allows computer users to optimize and tune their acoustics
and audio while using speech recognition applications, VoIP*,
Game Chat, playing music, or watching movies to achieve the
most intelligible audio experience available on a PC. Andrea's
state of the art audio technology is available today and runs
on PCs using the Microsoft Windows operating system versions
XP, Vista and is optimized for use with new Windows 7.
AudioCommander
6.0 has an intuitive and easy to understand virtual dashboard
interface that makes it ideal for anyone to tune the audio
input and output on their PC, regardless of their technical
knowledge. AudioCommander 6.0 is a powerful audio software
package with a host of advanced new features including enhanced
speaker output with Andrea's PureAudio noise reduction control
for removing noise from your VoIP received audio cleaning
up the signal you are listening to and increasing the intelligibility,
a 10-band graphic equalizer with 18 built-in presets to customize
sound according to listening preference, an enhanced voice
recorder, as well as a microphone boost control that includes
noise reduction technology with beam forming and acoustic
echo cancelation enhancements for converting your PC into
a high fidelity VoIP speakerphone.
"AudioCommander
6.0 raises the bar in PC audio intelligibility," said
Douglas Andrea, CEO of Andrea Electronics. "Most PC users
will attest that audio on most laptops and desktops lack the
ability to enhance your VoIP experience, making any type of
multimedia experience limited. Our digital audio technologies
let you control the audio experience and tune input and output
based on your environment and need. Whether you are attending
a web conference in a noisy café and require noise-canceling
features to eliminate background noise or you are watching
a movie, AudioCommander 6.0 gives you complete control of
your PC audio and can turn it into a high quality speakerphone
experience."
AudioCommander
6.0 includes a full function voice center digital audio recording
application with unlimited recording time and the ability
to compress audio/voice files in WMA format. Files can then
be sent directly from AudioCommander 6.0 via e-mail and a
drag & drop feature allows users to easily integrate audio
and voice files into Microsoft Word, PowerPoint or other multi-media
applications with just a few clicks of the mouse.
Andrea's
AudioCommander 6.0 software provides enhancements to and is
integrated to work with their USB-SA external digital audio
soundcard and high fidelity USB PC Headsets with its patented
audio technologies including:
- PureAudio
award winning noise reduction speech enhancement algorithm
to significantly improve the intelligibility of voice audio
and accuracy in speech driven applications, particularly
in high noise environments. It reduces repetitive background
noise on both acoustic and electronic system noise.
- DSDA
(Digital Super Directional Array) adaptive beam forming
system that allows Andrea's SuperBeam microphone to ensure
more intelligible audio by forming a beam toward the speaker
and eliminating background noises that are outside of the
beam, canceling non-repetitive directional noises.
- EchoStop
full duplex acoustic echo cancelation algorithm enabling
both speaker to broadcast and microphone to transmit simultaneously
turning your PC into a high quality speakerphone.
New
AudioCommander 6.0 is available now as an upgrade for all
Andrea Electronics' USB products. All new Andrea USB product
purchases will include AudioCommander 6.0 and is offered with
a free SuperBeam Array Microphone when purchased with the
Andrea USB-SA External Digital Soundcard through September
30, 2009.
