7 kHz quality means a clear improvement in clarity and intelligibility. However, this still covers less than 50% of the audible frequency range. Critical frequencies that are needed for consonant differentiation are still missing.
SPEECH BECOMES TOTALLY NATURAL.
Enhanced HD Voice by Commend transfers the audio signal at a bandwidth of 16,000 Hz, thus capturing the entire frequency spectrum of the human voice. As a result, voice communication and emergency calls are transmitted at a level of clarity literally unheard-of so far.
