The
Earpieces
The Clarity Aloft earpieces are used to improve both hearing protection
and speech communications. Each earpiece includes a miniature speaker
that reproduces speech signals from the aircraft audio system. The replaceable
compliant foam tips (Comply™ Canal Tips) which attach to the earpiece
contain a pathway for the sound to travel from the transducer to the
ear. Used by the military for helicopter pilots, both components of the
earpiece, the transducer and Comply Canal Tips, have been tested, used
rigorously and meet the most exacting military standards.
Replaceable Foam Tips
The superior seal is achieved with our patented Comply™ Canal Tips,
which are used in high-end hearing aids. These viscoelastic foam tips
provide the highest level of hearing protection available by any method
including active noise reduction. (ANR) The outstanding noise reduction
(35-45dB) in the speech frequencies between 400 to 4,000 Hz results in
unsurpassed clarity of voice communications. Resembling foam earplugs,
the foam tips are so comfortable because they are compliant to the shape
of the ear. Considerable sound science history backs up their impressive
performance. Technical specifications on our viscoelastic passive noise
reduction (VPNR) are included in the Owner’s Guide.
The Noise-Canceling Microphone
The noise-canceling microphone used in the Clarity Aloft Headset is a
high fidelity noise canceling Electret Condenser microphone with performance
optimized for speech frequencies in extremely high noise environments.
Stage performers and musicians use this same microphone because they must
insist on the highest level of sound reproduction.
Push-to-Talk Feature
With the special needs of professional flight instructors in mind, Clarity
Aloft Headsets include a Push-to-Talk button in the Volume control box.
This button could also be used as a backup in case of other system failures.
Low-Profile Headband
With its flexible boom arm, this featherweight band is the same one sported
by stage musicians and professional performers the world over. Balance
and comfort are the result of its elegantly simple design. |
