The sound produced by the internal speakers can be increased or decreased in 4 levels with a maximum output of 82 decibels.

CONFIGURATION MENU

The configuration menu is fully voice guided and allows you to change some functions:

- RELEASE TIME

One of these functions is the release time that can either be slow or fast, whereas the slow one is used for indoor shots. Whereas the echo of the shots can create sound shocks.

- VOLUME BALANCE

Next up, is the volume balance between the ears which can be put on seven different settings. This is for example useful if you have hearing loss on your left ear, you can amplify the sound output of the left ear pad to regain your situational awareness.

- EQUALIZER & SILENCE MODE

Above an equalizer mode which are the 4 different sound levels we talked about earlier, this system also features a silent mode which shuts off the external microphones.

SNR

In total wearing the headset as it comes, gives you an SNR or signal-to-noise ratio of 28 decibels. If you require a higher reduction of decibels you can also wear earplugs underneath a headset which brings the total up to 39 decibels.

EARPLUG MODE

Remind that when it comes to volume every 3 decibels is a doubling of the sound energy. So 11 decibels is quite a lot. This is all good in terms of protection, but a problem that it usually brings along is that the output of the speakers is reduced too much as well. For this the system features an "ear plug mode", this enhances the speaker output by 6 decibels, so you can keep your communication and situational awareness with earplugs on.

HEADSET SPECS

The headset in total weighs 335 grams with batteries included. it can operate between -40 up to 55 degrees Celsius and it has an average runtime of 200 hours, but our supplier with much more experience says it can go even up to 300 hours.
