Understand the TV sound like you used to: With the OSKAR TV loudspeaker from faller , following all TV dialog is child's play again

faller, the new brand of sonoro audio GmbH, the audio specialist from Neuss, presents OSKAR, the portable hearing amplifier. It enables older people and people with hearing loss in particular to watch TV again without having to turn the sound up too loud.

Understanding voices better

The portable TV voice amplifier with particularly innovative voice optimization technology is easily connected to the TV and brings the sound directly to your seat. At the touch of a button, voices and frequency bands important for speech are actively emphasized, while disturbing background noise is dynamically filtered out and minimized. Two full-range speakers and a passive driver ensure the best sound and clear speech reproduction. OSKAR was developed and designed in Germany and will be available from hearing care professionals from the end of October for 249 euros (RRP).

Carefree television

Marcell Faller, founder and managing director of sonoro audio GmbH, explains the idea behind the faller brand and OSKAR: "Our motivation to develop OSKAR came from our private lives. My father's hearing was getting worse and he had to make more and more of an effort to understand the TV sound. In particular, he could no longer hear the dialog properly and quickly became tired due to the strain of listening. The fact that he kept increasing the volume caused constant tension at home. It was no longer possible to watch TV together in a relaxed manner. His hearing aid, if he wore it at all at home, or other aids such as a soundbar were only of limited use, as they only amplified the TV sound further. However, this did not help him to understand the voices clearly. With OSKAR , he now gets the sound directly to him on the couch. The volume no longer has to be increased to a level that is unpleasant for the others and he can still have a conversation with us. If necessary, he can amplify the voice reproduction at the touch of a button and peace has returned to the Faller home.

Our experience from 15 years of developing music systems for my first company sonoro audio has of course helped significantly. Nevertheless, we have spent over two years of intensive development work with many people who suffer from hearing loss, as well as ENT doctors, international research companies in the field of hearing acoustics and numerous hearing care professionals to develop the best possible product for people with impaired hearing."

Easy handling, high-quality workmanship

OSKAR has a built-in lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 16 hours and is easy to transport thanks to the handle on the side. The supplied charging cradle fully recharges the battery in just four hours - ideal for overnight charging. The charging cradle itself can be connected to the TV via the TV's optical digital output or line out and transmits its sound wirelessly to OSKAR with a range of up to 30 meters.

OSKAR has a tidy design with just two buttons: an on/off knob, which also adjusts the volume, and a "voice filter" button, which can be used to optimize the voices in TV dialogues in three stages and reduce annoying background noise. This allows you to enjoy high-quality sound that is easy to hear and voices that are clear to understand. OSKAR also offers a headphone connection. The workmanship of the OSKAR is high quality: the body is made of brushed aluminum and the speaker is covered with dirt-repellent speaker covers made of fine woven fabric.

OSKAR measures 240x102x60 mm (WxHxD) and weighs 770 g. It will be available from hearing care professionals from the end of October at a price of 249 euros (RRP). More information at wfallerer-audio.com
