Amplitude enhances aural experiences by allowing you to hear distant and/or quiet sounds as if you were standing nearby. Amplitude uses the high quality hardware of the iPhone and iPod Touch* to detect and amplify the faintest of sounds. ***Note: To get the best experience possible, you must use earbuds that do not have a built-in microphone.*** Amplitude lets you adjust the sensitivity of the iPhone microphone to amplify sounds from across a room. You’ll hear things you never would have been able to hear otherwise. Using Amplitude is easy: simply launch the app, point your device in the direction of the sound you want to amplify, and starting hearing the world in a new way through your headphones. Individual controls enable you to adjust the microphone sensitivity or mute the sound amplifying feature altogether. Use Amplitude to explore your world. Experience all the sounds of your environment that you would otherwise have missed. Experience Nature and Wildlife More Intimately - Have you ever heard the sound of a hummingbird’s wings beating back and forth? It’s pretty interesting to hear even with unaided ears.

Tips on Using Amplitude: - For best audio reception, point the microphone in the direction of the sound you want to pick up. - Amplitude controls are oriented upside down from other apps so that the microphone can be pointed toward target sounds. - To protect against accidental ear damage, Amplitude starts in Muted mode. The “Mute at Start” feature is configurable in the Info screen. - We recommend keeping device volume between 50-75%. - Experiment with microphone sensitivity. Some situations will require more, some less. - To preserve battery life, launch the application and press the device sleep button to darken the screen. - You can maximize your reception by using your hands or a plastic cup to focus the incoming sound. This is the best method to use when listening through solid objects like doors or walls. - Like any exposed microphone, the iPhone microphone is sensitive to wind noise. For best results we recommend using Amplitude in non-windy situations. - Experiment with different attachments and microphone settings and let us know what works best for you.
