Building on the success of the existing .Audio range, the .Audio 45 headset incorporates DSP (digital signal processing) that digitally enhances the audio channels allowing the user to experience the full range of stereo sound quality.

The .Audio 45 is ideally suited to home, SoHo (Small Office, Home Office) and office users who use their PC for multimedia applications including on-line chat, Internet telephony (VOIP), speech to text dictation, multiplayer games, voice/sound recording and enjoying music.

Additional features include a QuickAdjust telescoping microphone boom, hypoallergenic, soft foam ear cushions and in-line volume and mute control to enhance sound quality, speech clarity, comfort and usability.

The QuickAdjust telescoping microphone boom ensures perfect placement for speech recognition and is ideally suited for those who require a high degree of accuracy, it enables the user to position the microphone to suit their individual preference. The lightweight adjustable headband and hypoallergenic soft foam ear cushions work together to provide the user with comfort required for all day use.

"Our experience has shown our customers are starting to use their PC`s for a lot more than just emailing and surfing the Net," said Garth De Haan, business development manager at Plantronics South Africa. He continued: "As more and more people are taking advantage of the benefits of Internet telephony and with on-line gaming becoming increasingly popular, the .Audio 45 incorporates the latest speech recognition technology and headset design to provide users with a product that allows them to take full advantage of these technologies."
