| HS 600 DANR Headset |
 German
headphone and microphone manufacturer beyerdynamic has
expanded its aviation line with the HS 600 DANR headset
featuring digital adaptive noise reduction. By using the HS
600's DANR software, a microprocessor generates a
phase-inverse counter sound, which eliminates the filtered
noise signal, offering noise attenuation of approximately 40
dB, the company says. The headset adapts to any noise level
and reduces background noise. It also features an audio box
for the connection of cell phones or MP3 players. The volume
of the cell phone or MP3 player is automatically decreased
when intercom signals come through. The headset is powered by
two AA batteries or via the aircraft's electrical system when
connected by the supplied cable with 3-pin XLR connector.
The company also recently launched its "Manufaktur-Build Your Own" program, which allows customers to design and order their individual aviation headsets. Using the program, customers can chose from a variety of colors and aluminum design parts. For more information visit www.beyerdynamic-USA.com, or call 631-293-3200. |
