INPUT TECHNOLOGY

Conexant Confidential and Proprietary 3 Conexant Smart Source Pickup (SSP)

SSP: Conexant proprietary noise suppression algorithm. The one easy solution.

• Based on a Blind Source Separation technique, modified for real-world robustness.

• NOT Beamforming ; SSP uses spatial representation of target speech and noise sources to reduce stationary and semi non-stationary interference (i.e., babble noise).

• Speech can be at any angle relative to the microphones.

• Noise can be at any angle relative to the microphones, even in the same direction as the speech.

OUTPUT TECHNOLOGY

Conexant Confidential and Proprietary 7 Class-D Power Optimization .Constantly delivers DSP-optimized signal to speakers at maximum safe power level, independent of software .Actual output power of H-bridge is monitored at chip pins (closed loop!) and intelligently averaged 100% in hardware . Closed-loop system actively monitors speaker power consumption . Output RMS is compared to a programmable threshold matching exact speaker capabilities . RMS measurements drive intelligent gain control . Adjustments are time-windowed to avoid false triggers by spikes in audio content

Company Confidential and Proprietary 10 Conexant Noise Suppression Performance vs Amazon

~40% Hit Rate improvement in noisy conditions (Noise 5dB lower than speech)

No Hit Rate degradation in “clean” conditions (Noise 10dB lower than speech)

30% Hit Rate improvement in extremely noise conditions (Noise same level as speech)

With Conexant processing, user will be understood one in three attempts With Amazon processing, user will almost never be understood
