Audience, the American company based in Mountain View, California, and specialized in advanced noise suppression, has recently announced its debut on the South Korean market by embedding its technology in the new LG SH400 mobile phone. Released by SK Telecom (SKT), the largest operator in South Korea, the new LG handset leverages on the Audience Voice Processor in order to offer users a clear audio experience in any environment.

[admark=1]Called Audience A1010, the voice processor included in the LG SH400 uses the most advanced noise suppression technology on the market in order to eliminate the background noise that usually appears (from various causes) when phone calls are made.

Talking about the Audience technology, Byungrok Jung, SKT Manager of Mobile Device Team, said: "We are thrilled to be working with such an innovative company as Audience. Audience has the most impressive advanced noise suppression solution in the market, and we believe that our customers will have a much better communications experience in noisy places."

Peter Santos, Chief Executive Officer of Audience, added: "We are pleased to have an opportunity to provide mobile handsets installed with our leading-edge noise suppression technology to SK Telecom, Korea's largest mobile operator, through LG Electronics. With Audience, Korean mobile users can benefit from experience with much improved communications quality."

Weighing 104 grams and measuring 103 x 52 x 14.95 millimeters (when closed), LG SH400 is a nice slider that packs the following features: a 2.2 inch display with 320 x 240 pixels, HSDPA connectivity, Music player, mobile TV capabilities, a 2 Megapixel camera with video recording, multitasking abilities, 45MB of built-in memory and microSD card support.

LG SH400 is priced at only 93,000 Korean won ($92 or 58 Euros) with a contract agreement from SK Telecom and it's highly probable that it will never get to be released in other countries except South Korea.
