LYNX G4 ANR MICRO SYSTEM HEADSET

The G4 headset is the latest digital Active Noise Reduction (ANR) version of the Micro System headset which also includes a digital Voice Controlled Microphone (VCM).

The digital ANR electronics monitor the level of background noise inside the ear-cups and generate an equal volume of anti-noise which is opposite in phase; this effectively reduces the amount of low frequency background noise inside the ear-cups. The ANR function can be switched on or off using a selector switch on the right hand ear-cup. When the ANR function is switched off, the headset works as a normal Passive Noise Reduction (PNR) headset.

The VCM electronics monitor the headset and disable the microphone when no voice signal is present. The microphone is re-enabled instantly when the VCM system detects speech. The VCM system uses digital technology to differentiate between speech and background noise/wind noise and adjusts automatically to changes in noise level. The VCM function can be switched on or off using a selector switch on the left-hand ear-cup. When the VCM function is switched off, the headset microphone remains active continuously.

Each headset contains an intercom circuit and a rechargeable battery located in the headband. Connecting two or more headsets together forms an intercom providing communication for a minimum of fifty hours.

The latest G4 features also include a fifty percent increase in available headset volume and immunity to aircraft transponder and mobile telephone interference. The headset also now includes digital power management which protects the battery by putting the headset into a low power mode when no headset activity is detected. In addition, a switch is provided on the headset to disable the battery if the headset is only used with a Powered Radio Interface and the battery function is not required.

Micro System headsets can be connected to a radio via a range of interface units and are fully compatible with all available radio transceivers. Each headset battery can be recharged up to one thousand times, and does not suffer from Memory effect.

The headset is noise attenuating and provides hearing protection in noise levels up to 110dB(A). All Lynx headsets are fitted with Silicone Gel ear seals and are fully adjustable.
