The Lynx Avionics Pilot System headset is designed specifically for use in light aircraft and helicopters. The headsets are fitted with interchangeable leads which can be swapped easily for use in different aircraft. Leads are available with either standard twin jack plugs, US NATO helicopter jack plug or UK NATO (Euro) helicopter jack plug.
Each headset includes a specially developed electret noise canceling microphone, an electronic speech processor and high quality speakers. The microphone is sensitive to speech but rejects extraneous background noise whilst the speech processor modifies the voice signal to produce a clear and natural sound. The microphone is mounted in a rubber anti-shock holder and is protected by a foam wind shield that can be removed easily for cleaning or replacement.
The headset speakers are housed in acoustically balanced enclosures which seal the headset against moisture and also allow the ear cups to be cleaned hygienically. The speaker volume is adjustable and can be set using the built-in volume control. Pilot System headsets are fitted with interchangeable leads which allow the headsets to be used in different aircraft by simply changing the lead.
