They wanted
a headset which protects their hearing but does not encumber them
with extra weight, excess wires, cords, battery packs, or costly
custom installations. The new PA 17-76 gives users that freedom.
Enhanced
Voice Intelligibility (EVI)
The Freedom headset has incorporated into its integrated circuitry
a proprietary DSP circuit which enhances all audio within the speech
frequencies from an outside communications radio or entertainment
system (cassette or CD player). The result is freedom from noise
and garbled radio transmissions. There is an approximate 3-4 dB
gain at 2000-4000 Hz.
Rechargeable
Battery, Power Jack and Charger
The PA 17-76 is totally self-contained and requires no external
power. You have the freedom of not having to choose whether you
want a portable or a panel mounted version. The Freedom headset
works anywhere without special installation. A 9V rechargeable nickel
metal hydride (NIMH) battery is mounted inside the non-boom side
ear cup. This type of battery has no "memory effect" as with other
rechargeable NICAD batteries. You can top-off the battery by recharging
at anytime. The battery is able to be charged @1000 times or @ 5000
hours of usage. This unit will not work while it is charging. You'll
be free from the expense of replacement batteries for many years.
Comfort
Features
The headset is fitted with an Oregon Aero Sheepskin Soft Top which
virtually eliminates all complaints of hot spots caused by non-breathable
synthetic headpads used by most manufacturers. The Soft Top combined
with the wide single pivot suspension of the headband assures a
comfortable fit. The ear seals are extra soft and generously proportioned
and fit around the ear to distribute pressure.
Modular
Flexible Design
We have designed the Freedom headset to be modular in design with
the introduction of a disconnectable comm-cord. We've installed
the best SwitchCraft jack and plug that we could find for this application.
The detachable cord makes the unit "field repairable". The unit
can be fitted with different comm-cords for many different communication
applications.
On/Off
- DNC Activation
The Freedom headset has a red push button On/Off switch on the right
shoulder of the ear cup which has the microphone boom. To turn the
unit on, push the button down and you will hear the unit activate.
To turn the unit off, press the button again.
We have also
added as a feature, a diffused green LED light which is to the left
of the On/Off button which will illuminate when the unit is on.
This serves as a friendly reminder so the user can distinguish if
the unit is on or off simply by viewing the LED light. The LED light
is positioned on the headset so the light cannot reflect in the
windshield of an aircraft.
