Hear every word with LG's Clear Voice II

A reporter’s voice at the scene of a hot scoop buried by the sounds of the surrounding scene making her inaudible? Clear Voice II dramatically enhances and amplifies the frequency range of the human voice by increasing the dialog range up to six positions to help keep dialogue audible when background noise swells. Want the realism of a battle scene by hearing the surrounding effects as much as the actor’s lines? Clear Voice II can also decrease the dialog range by six positions so that special effects or soundtrack are more prominent - putting you in control.
