DCP: Tone Settings

XL45

The XL45 offers four different tone settings to provide an experience that

may be customized to fit a specific users need. The illustration above

shows how the four settings relate to each other and the amount of

amplification they give to the different frequencies of sound.

The best way to choose between the settings is to listen to them all and

decide which one provides the best telephone conversation experience.

DCP: Tone Settings

XL45

The first tone setting is one that emphasizes the low
frequency sounds.

This is for those who have a hard time hearing lower

pitched sounds.
This type of hearing need is common with those who

have noise-induced hearing loss.

DCP: Tone Settings

XL45

The second tone is a flat amplification of all sounds.
For the user who wants full volume amplification for

every type of sound.
Suggested if the user wears a digital hearing aid while

using the phone.

DCP: Tone Settings

XL45

The third tone setting is our set Clarity Power that begins to focus
more on the higher frequency sounds and add speech intelligibility.

It is a medium between tone setting two (2) and four (4).

DCP: Tone Settings

XL45

The fourth tone setting provides full emphasis on speech

intelligibility using Clarity’s Multi-Band Compression.

This setting intelligently amplifies the human voice

and reduces noise and sharp sudden sounds during

the telephone conversation.
