NOISE CANCELLING SYSTEMS

The basic operation of active noise cancellation (ANC) is very simple: a sound wave is produced which must be superimposed on that of the unwanted sound in order to reduce or cancel it completely.

Noise cancelling systems recreate a reflected wave compared to the one generated by external noises: they are equipped with one or more microphones to listen to the sounds coming from outside and then recreate a specular sound wave. This wave that has been generated then cancels the noises with the result of obtaining absolute silence.

The advantage of this type of headphones equipped with active noise cancelling (ANC) is also the opportunity to be able to manage the noise cancellation completely autonomously, thus allowing you to use the headphones and activate the function only when needed.
