Noise cancellation isn't a wall — it's physics. Here's how the Vuzo Nova One listens to the world and erases it, up to 46 decibels, thousands of times a second.
Every sound is a wave. Generate an identical wave flipped upside-down — an "anti-noise" wave — and the two collide and flatten to near-silence. This is destructive interference, and it's the heart of ANC.
Microphones inside and out sample the noise around you up to 5,000 times a second.
A dedicated processor reads the waveform and works out its exact opposite in real time.
The driver fires the inverted wave into your ear, perfectly out of phase with the noise.
The two waves cancel. The drone, the hum, the engine — gone. Your music stays.
That's the difference between a busy street and a library — or an aeroplane cabin and a quiet room. Adaptive ANC measures the noise and dials in exactly the right amount, automatically.
Pick the mode and the buds tune the cancellation to fit the moment.
Reads the room and sets the cancellation level automatically — from a quiet office to a busy street.
Tuned for the constant low-frequency drone of planes and trains. Maximum cancellation in the rumble band.
Lighter cancellation for cafés and offices, so you can still catch your name across the room.
Lets the world back in. Voices and announcements pass through clearly with your buds still in.
