BOOM
(Gooseneck) MICROPHONES
A short note about microphone types:
Most new avionics are designed to work with "Carbon type" or "Carbon
Equivalent" microphones.
"Electret" microphones designed for "AVIONICS" are very small, electronic
"condenser" microphones that also work on the same bias voltages as do
Carbon type microphones. "Most" telephone, cellular telephone microphones
are of "electret" types, but will not work with the bias voltages provided
by "AVIONICS" and are not suitable for this use. Dynamic microphones can be
of an "Amplified Dynamic" or "Un-Amplified". Most European avionics
are designed to operate NON-Amplified Dynamic microphones and have
microphone circuits for these types, however, most European avionics
typically also have addition circuits to allow for use of "Electret" or
Amplified Dynamic microphones as well, either by jumpers within the radios
or specific pin-outs in the wiring.
Electret microphones offer excellent noise cancellation and are smaller,
lower cost than and typically lighter than Dynamic types, however It is
generally agreed that the Dynamic microphones produce more natural
sound and higher microphone volume output than do typical Electret types and
do not require the user to be as close to the microphone or in many cases
have the microphone touching the lips of the user as may be needed with the
Electret element type microphone.

Plantronics MS50/T30-1
(W&W modified)
The MS50T30-1 is am amplified microphone (carbon equivalent) commercial pilots headset
with single PJ-068 combination mic and headphone plug that will work with nearly all
aviation transceivers set to "Standard, Carbon or Electret" microphone input.
This headset as supplied from the manufacturer is not suitable for most general aviation
uses since there is always a "hot mic" as wired from the factory. However, for
our use W&W modifies this set by removing the "key" contact from within the
mic plug so that the microphone operates as most other general aviation headsets making
this an ideal sailplane headset for transmit only when the headphone (receiver) ear plug
is not needed as is the normal case in most sailplanes where the pilot really wants to be
able to hear the radio from the on board speaker as well as being able to hear the audio
variometer and glider sounds. The MS50T30-1, like the Telex 5X5 Pro III and the
Plantronics MS50T30-3 can be used with the supplied headband, or as show simple clipped to
eyeglasses or even attached to shoulder straps.

Telex Stratus 50 Digital
Click on text for image and details
No other headset can match the Stratus 50 Digital for hearing protection.
That's because only the Stratus 50 Digital features SmartSense™, a patented
active noise reduction technology based on digital signal processing (DSP),
to produce an incredible 50 dB of total noise protection!
The world's only "smart" headset
SmartSense DSP technology targets low frequency and tonal noise that
conventional ANR can't block. These are the frequencies that cause the most
hearing damage. SmartSense continuously samples the cockpit, then learns and
adjusts the headset to the unique noise signature of your aircraft. No other
headset eliminates more damaging noise than the Stratus 50 Digital.
The Stratus 50 Digital also offers a powerful combination of comfort,
convenience and performance features.
Create a comfortable, customized fit, Telex's patented ComfortCam™ system
allows you to fine tune headband tension to eliminate clamping. Comfort is
enhanced by a unique headband construction that distributes weight evenly
for a perfect fit, plus thick foam headband pads and newly redesigned, more
comfortable ear cushions.
Telex's smart headset just got smarter
Ear cup speakers and an electret microphone help eliminate incidental noise
and a new, high-efficiency boom microphone helps conserve battery power. The
Stratus 50 Digital also features Telex's innovative cell phone/MP3 adapter
which allows you to attach both your cell phone and MP3 player at the same
time - no more switching cords! Plus you can mute both at a flick of a
switch.
Features:
Total Noise Reduction: 50 dB ANR protection. The most protection you can
buy!
exclusive Digital Single Processing (DSP)Technology: Patented SmartSense
digital ANR technology cancels harmful frequencies other headsets can't
handle. Plus SmartSense learns from its environment, adjusting and canceling
the harmful noises unique to your airplane. And because SmartSense looks for
patterns of noise to block, mission critical, emergency noises come through
clearly. Typical ANR technology would muffle them - and what you can't hear
can hurt you.
Cell Phone/Audio Adaptor: Unique dual cell phone/audio device interface.
Plug both your cell phone and music in at once. No more switching cords!
Plus you can mute both devices at the flick of a switch.
Advanced Microphone Technology: Telex invented the noise-canceling
microphone for use in World War II combat. Telex supplied microphones for
the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space programs and became the first aviation
microphone to land on the moon. The heritage continues. The Stratus 50
Digital features a high-quality, noise-canceling electret microphone to
ensure the clearest possible transmission.
Low Profile, Adjustable Headband: Provides even distribution of weight
without pressure points. Detented sliders allow you to adjust the headband
for a custom fit. Plus our plush, soft headband cushion helps to eliminate
hot spots.
Impact-Resistant Headband Design: You don't need to sacrifice comfort for
durability. The Stratus 50 Digital utilizes an impact-resistant headband
design with stainless steel reinforced stress points for durability and
light weight.
Seal Out Sound. Seal In Comfort: New heat-sensitive, slow-recovery foam
earpiece cushions form a secure, but comfortable fit - even around sun
glasses. Created from a unique material, our cushions have the luxurious
feel of lambskin leather but are much easier to keep clean.

each headset speaker for your unique hearing needs. Switchable stereo and
mono controls ensure that you receive the best possible radio signal.

adjustment. Easily converts to a left or right side orientation. Position
the microphone exactly where you want it for superior transmission clarity…
and it stays there.

powers down to conserve batteries.
