What audio quality does Siren 14 technology deliver?
Siren 14 passes the audio band between 50 Hz and 14000 Hz, with excellent quality. Since Siren 14 is a transform-based codec, and not a speech-model based codec, it handles music and natural sounds just as well as speech, and does not “break up” on non-speech signals like many speech-model based codecs. The 50 Hz to 14 kHz bandwidth covers 100% of the energy in human speech – this is approximately the same bandwidth as offered by FM broadcast radio. This range also approximates the audible range for adults past the age of 30 (high-frequency hearing tends to decline with age).
