Clear communication at sea
Marine radio communications between vessel and shore contend with lots of issues, like weak signals with background noise such as engine noise, wind noise, wave impact and electrical interference. Our DSP noise cancelling technology can differentiate the speech from the noise and remove this background noise, leaving just clear speech.
The DSP technology is fully adaptive, works in real time, and no adjustments are necessary. If no noise is present, the speech remains unchanged (try it with a clear VHF signal). There is almost no distortion of speech signals, even for very low signal-to-noise ratios. Our technology is self-adapting to a changing noise environment, and no training of the noise filter is required. Customers can adjust the DSP filter level to suit their own needs and application. When doing this, it does not change the characteristics of the noise; that is, any residual noise still sounds natural.

Products for every marine environment
Whether you operate commercial vessels, recreational boats, or maritime safety services, our noise cancelling products for marine radio can help improve your radio and voice communications:
DSP noise cancelling speakers
These standalone amplified DSP noise cancelling speakers connect directly to your marine radio system, providing instant noise reduction without complex installation. They just require 12V DC for power. They feature multiple filter levels, easy controls, and flexibility for different operating conditions. They can be used in a base station setting or onboard a vessel in the communications area.
DSP noise cancelling in-line modules
These compact amplified modules integrate seamlessly with your existing marine radio setup. They process audio signals before they reach your speaker or headset, delivering clear communications without changing your established equipment configuration.
They also require 12V DC for power and feature multiple filter levels with simple control of all the various functions. They can be used in a base station setting when used with a headset or extension speaker connected to the audio output, or onboard a vessel in the communications area with a headset or external speaker connected to the bhi unit.
Enhancing maritime safety
Clear communication can make all the difference during critical maritime operations. Our noise cancelling technology can help in a range of situations, including:
- Search and rescue operations
- Navigation in busy shipping lanes
- Emergency communications
- Routine vessel-to-vessel and vessel-to-shore exchanges
Trusted by professionals
We have worked with the National Coastwatch Institution to implement our Dual In-Line module and NES10-2 MK4 in their base radio communications and recording system. The team were looking to improve the sound quality of transmissions, especially for some of the hearing-impaired watchkeepers. They wanted a simple solution that didn’t impact their current set-up, and that’s where our noise cancelling products came in, simply needing to be plugged in and the noise cancelling level chosen.
FAQs
Why is my marine VHF radio difficult to hear?
Background noise from engines, wind, waves, electrical interference and poor signal conditions can make marine radio transmissions difficult to understand. DSP noise cancelling helps reduce unwanted background noise, making speech clearer and easier to understand.
Can DSP improve weak or noisy radio signals?
DSP cannot increase signal strength, but it can reduce unwanted background noise from the received audio, making weak voice transmissions easier to understand.
Can I use a bhi noise cancelling product with a handheld marine radio?
Some bhi products can be used with handheld marine radios, depending on the available audio connections and accessories. Get in touch with us if you have any questions about compatibility with your set-up.
Can I install the noise cancelling products myself?
Yes, the bhi NEDSP1962-KBD pre-wired amplified DSP noise cancelling PCB module could be retrofitted into an extension speaker that is used with your radio, or you could install our pre-wired NEDSP1901-KBD low level audio module inside your radio (space permitting). Check out our website for the install information on both these bhi modules.
Our speakers and in-line modules simply need to be connected to your existing setup and plugged into power.
Are they compatible with all radios?
Yes — our DSP noise cancelling products are designed to work with any type of radio across all radio frequencies.
What's the difference between a noise cancelling speaker and an in-line module?
Standalone amplified DSP noise cancelling speakers (like the NES10-2 MK4 or DESKTOP MKII) replace your existing speaker. Our In-line modules connect between your radio and your existing speaker or headset and are useful if you want to keep your current speaker setup.
How much background noise can bhi products reduce?
Our DSP technology reduces background noise by up to 40dB and tone/interference by up to 65dB, while preserving speech clarity — tested against typical marine noise sources like engine noise, wind, and static.
Will noise cancelling affect the clarity or delay of the audio?
No — our DSP processes audio in real time with ultra-low latency (as low as 32ms), so there's no perceptible delay, and speech frequencies are preserved rather than distorted.
