Beyerdynamic HS 800 Digital Operating Instructions Manual

APPLICATIONS

The HS 800 Digital is a closed-back aviation headset. The innovative
DANR system (Digital Adaptive Noise Reduction) provides an
extraordinary effective active ambient noise attenuation. The head­phone features a very high reproduction precision and a balanced
sound.
The soft, circumaural leather ear pads filled with viscoelastic foam
and the adjustable padded headband provide a high comfort. The
microphone with adjustable gain can be optimally positioned with
the flexible gooseneck. The figure eight polar pattern ensures a high
gain before feedback and noise cancellation. The rotating micro­phone holder allows positioning the microphone on the right or left
hand side.
The connecting cable is single-sided. There are various versions with
different connecting cables (e.g. 1/4" (6.35 mm) and PJ-068 jack,
U-174/U jack or 6-pin Lemo connector). The connecting cable
provides an audio box to adjust the volume of the headphone and
to connect a mobile phone, music player (e.g. CD or MP3 player) or
iPhone. If signals from the intercom occur, the volume of the
mobile phone or music player can be reduced automatically. This
auto mute function can be deactivated.
