Sedgewall are proud to announce the launch of 


SirenStop...



Overview of SafeSpeech with Siren Cancellation Technologies


Clear voice transmission using ‘fist microphones’ is now illegal in many countries in Europe.  It is dangerous for the Driver,
for Pedestrians and for other road users.

A ‘Hands-Free’ and ‘Body-Free’ System with Clear Siren Free Voice Transmission is the
only ‘Safe & Responsible’ way to operate, if required to communicate whilst driving. 
A full range of  ‘Vehicle Mounted Professional Hands-Free Units’ are now available for
Fixed Mobiles & Hand Portables. 

The SafeSpeech HKU range is designed to meet the requirements of  Police, Fire and
Ambulance as well as Hauliers, Couriers, Taxis, Utilities, Dock and Airport Vehicles and
other Emergency Service and Professional users.

 

The HKU8 Hands-Free and Siren-Cancelling unit is being designed as a result of  urgent
requests to create crisp, clear siren free voice transmission between the Emergency
Service Vehicle and the Control room.
 
The unit is being designed around DSP based enhanced adaptive algorithms along with a
Reference Microphone to remove Siren Noise from the transmit path.  It is expected that the
 standard system will be supplied with our rear view mirror mounted Directional Vehicle
Microphone and a handbrake mounted PTT switch, and will work in conjunction with
Cleartone Radio Systems.

 

Main expected features

 - Unit utilizes advanced DSP technology, which reacts faster than the human ear to 
significantly suppress Siren Noise.

 - Simple to Install – Fit and Forget.

 - Works in conjunction with Cleartone Radios.

 - Approved to Pan-European Standards and Spec 5 Home Office approved for Emergency 
Service use

 - Excellent Voice performance.

 - Control Unit can be ‘hidden’.

 - Customised Options available.

 - Opportunity for time-out feature may be available.

 - Various Press To Talk (PTT) options, including dash or gear-level mounted.

 - UK designed and manufactured.

 - Microphone acoustically designed for vehicle applications can fit discretely behind
rear-view mirror.

 

How does SirenStop work?

The output from the Handset/Hands-Free microphone is digitized and processed 44,000/sec
to remove up to 45dB of the siren content before entering the radio.  SirenStop is electronically transparent to the radio.


What sirens are compatible with SirenStop? 

Electronic siren generators from the major world manufacturers have been successfully tested. 

Is speech affected?

Only the siren signal is processed.                                 

Can 'hands-free' be used with sirens active?

SirenStop was specifically developed to enable clear Hands-Free radio operation with Sirens active.
