Voice Enhancer Technology

Voice Enhancer Technology ( ) helps clarify and improve sound reception
creating a natural-sounding voice that is easy to hear and understand.
This is accomplished by enhancing the frequency that is narrowed through the
telephone line and comes pre-set to OFF at the factory.
Under normal conditions, cordless phones are limited to a narrowed frequency
bandwidth (300Hz to 3.5KHz). Panasonic’s new Voice Enhancer Technology
cordless phones are able to simulate a band signal above and below the normal
bandwidth limitations. As a result, a clearer, crisp sound much closer to the actual
voice is achieved.
