Venture is Gennum's premiere product designed on the Voyageur™ platform. Combining the power and capabilities of Voyageur together with SoundDesign™ Advanced Research, Venture delivers cutting-edge features and high performance.

Venture's adaptive noise reduction preserves perceived speech levels without causing distortion. It monitors noise levels independently in 128 individual bands. This strategy also employs advanced psychoacoustic models to eliminate audible noise and reduce the amount of perceptible artifacts introduced by the noise reduction algorithms.

Based on a feedback cancellation method, Venture's adaptive feedback cancellation algorithm provides increased maximum stable gain unlike other feedback strategies. Additionally, it features rapid adjustment for dynamic feedback situations, immunity to tonal inputs and much more.

In addition to these adaptive algorithms, Venture also supports the following features: FRONTWAVE directional processing, cross fading between audio paths for click-free memory changes, 8-band graphic equalizer, 8 generic biquad filters (configurable as parametric or other filter types), programming speed enhancements, optional peak clipping, flexible compression adjustments, programmable tones for memory change and low battery indicators, wideband gain, volume control and industry-leading security features to avoid cloning and software piracy.

Available Venture configurations:
GA3219 : Adaptive noise reduction and adaptive feedback canceller
GA3218 : Adaptive noise reduction
GA3217 : Adaptive feedback canceller
