Noise Suppression

The noise suppression of the TC Bar is default on and set to medium which equals a reduction of 18 dB static noise.

You can set the noise suppression to low (12 dB noise reduction), medium or high (26 dB noise reduction).

Recommendation:

Depending on the speech and noise in the room, set the noise suppression so that as much noise is suppressed as needed without impacting speech intelligibility. In situations with strong low frequency HVAC noise in the room, it is advisable to set the noise suppression to low. This sounds counterintuitive, but low frequency noise can disturb the noise suppression and cause artifacts. In such cases the overall performance will be better, allowing a slightly higher noise rate and using the noise-gate (see above) instead.
