Clari-Fi Technology & Specifications
Clari-fi cleans the sounds waves coming from your MP3 player, removing many of the unwanted byproducts of digital encoding, compression and AD/DA conversion.
At the heart of the clari-fi is a semiconductor chip featuring new voltage variable compression element (VVCE) technology. VVCE technology allows for analog progressive dynamic range compression of MP3, AAC & satellite radio signals in real-time, removing harmful digital artifacts, while remaining faithful to the music's original recorded tonal quality and audible dynamic range. Additionally, the technology is passive (powered by the audio output), requiring no batteries for operation and having no negative effect on an MP3 player's battery life.
Clari-fi's is specifically designed to operate within the voltage and impedance constraints of the MP3 player market. Clari-Fi progressively restrains fast, high-amplitude digital artifacts with a parasitic compression function, so that their removal does not produce secondary artifacts.
Because unwanted high-frequency content contains the most damaging energies, the clari-fi music version separates its compression function to operate progressively from 300Hz up, after a specific energy threshold is reached. This allows the bass to pass relatively unaffected and the highs to remain intact, but without the agitating edge that causes most people to experience hearing fatigue after a few minutes of MP3 listening. The clari-fi podcast version has a slightly higher compression ratio and operates over the full spectrum, so as to confine the large audio range differences of talk shows and poorly recorded info-content programs. The result with both versions is hearing protection, improved audio clarity and lessened hearing fatigue.
