SmartSound:ADRO^®

ADRO for music and dynamic environments

Imagine having the freedom to enjoy music or being able to interact more comfortably in loud, busy, changing environments. Introducing SmartSound ADRO™.

ADRO (Adaptive Dynamic Range Optimization) is designed to deliver maximum hearing comfort and clarity by making seamless adjustments as the sounds around you change

How does ADRO work?

Other sound processors lower all sound when entering a loud environment. But ADRO, much like an equalizer on a stereo, uses incredibly fast signal rates to automatically adjust sound levels across each of Freedom’s 22 channels individually.

The individual channels representing quiet sounds (like a soft violin) are turned up, while loud sounds (like a car horn) are softened, so you can enjoy a comfortable listening level in any situation.

ADRO. Freedom to:

enjoy environments like theme parks or
noisy classrooms
participate in a conversation at a
busy intersection
appreciate music more

Competing soft and loud sounds

Loud background noise can drown out what you want to hear. Simply turning down the volume doesn’t help because it reduces the sounds you want to hear as well as the noise.
