The team of engineers from BBE, a developer of advanced sound technologies for the professional audio and consumer electronic markets, have come up with a revolutionary development - the BBE M3 Mobile Audio technology, a next-generation audio post processing technology that improves the sound quality of digitally compressed audio normally used in mobile phones with MP3 player functionality.

Furthermore, the BBE M3 requires only a minimal memory size and MIPS rate, and has little impact on the battery life of the portable equipment, as it comes with the company's core audio technologies: BBE High Definition Sound, BBE MP, and BBE ViVA HD3D.

"BBE High Definition Sound ensures that high frequency sounds are clearer, naturally brilliant and more finely detailed, while lows are well defined and harmonically rich. BBE MP process regenerates harmonics from the source material, effectively recovering warmth, details and nuance. It works evenly on the entire audio range, maintaining a constant sound characteristic. BBE ViVA HD3D supplements the weakened stereo image and ambience of digitally compressed audio while keeping the monaural components (such as solo vocals) unchanged," it is said in the press release.

BBE M3 also features a patented Hearing Impaired ("HI") mode, which provides dialog clarity enhancement for the hearing impaired without using a high frequency boost. HI mode adds an extra high-frequency boost that is combined with a frequency-specific phase adjustment that determines an enhancement brought to the general listening experience.

Benefits of BBE M3 (Manufacturer's Details)

- Restores the details and nuance lost in digitally compressed audio; - Adds warmth to any music or sound; - Brings subtle, often overlooked sounds back into the listening experience; - Deeper, more powerful bass; - Expands high-frequency bandwidth; - Restores lost harmonics for a more realistic listening experience; - Compatible with all digital compression formats, including AAC, MP3 and WMA.
