Noise Reduction and Voice Isolation
To ensure that you can always be heard, even in the noisiest of environments, the Q1 comes with BlueAnt's Voice Isolation Technology, which is designed to eliminate background noise and reduce wind noise.
There are two modes of voice isolation. The best one to use will depend on the environment you are in:
- Standard Voice Isolation mode is well suited to normal everyday environments. It gives you a natural sounding voice while removing mild background noise.
- Maximum Voice Isolation mode gives you high levels of voice intelligibility in very noisy environments.
 | Double click the BlueAnt button at any time during a call to switch between the two voice isolation modes. When the call finishes, the Q1 will automatically revert to standard voice isolation mode. |
| Please note that the button click to switch voice isolation modes was changed in firmware version 8.19. If you have an older version of the firmware installed on your Q1, then you switch voice isolation modes with a single click of the BlueAnt button. You can check what version of the firmware is installed on your Q1 by looking at the version number shown in the Bluetooth pairing list on your phone. |
Which Voice Isolation Mode Should I Use?
| Use Standard Voice Isolation... | Use Maximum Voice Isolation... |
|---|---|
| In the office | In a noisy restaurant |
| At home | While walking or in a vehicle |
| In a quiet environment | When there is background music |
The standard and maximum voice isolation settings both use the same amount of battery power.
