Audio enhancement: Audio enhancement allows
the user to hear a broader spectrum of audio frequencies,
including high and low frequencies outside the
normal metahuman audible spectrum. The user also
experiences fine discrimination of nuances and can
block out distracting background noise. Audio enhancement
adds its Rating to your limit in audio Perception
Tests.
Wireless: Add the audio enhancement’s rating as a
dice pool modifier to your audio Perception Tests.
Select sound filter: This lets you block out background noise and focus on specific sounds or patterns of sounds. It even includes speech, word, and sound pattern recognition. Each Rating point lets you select a single sound group (such as the footsteps of a patrolling guard or the rotors of a distant helicopter) and focus on it. You only actively listen to one group at a time, but you can record the others for later playback or set them to triggered monitoring (such as sounding an alert if a conversation brings up a certain topic, or if there’s a variation in the breathing pattern of a guard dog).
Spatial recognizer: This hearing accessory pinpoints
the source of a sound. You get a +2 bonus on your limit
in Perception Tests to find the source of a specific sound.
Wireless: You get a +2 dice pool modifier to your Perception
Tests when looking for a sound’s source.
