User Guide for the bhi Compact In-Line Module
mono/stereo/dual channel DSP Noise Cancellation Module – Iss 3
Introduction
In many applications both amateur and professional, monaural noise cancellation is
sufficient, but as radio technology moves forward the use of Stereo audio has started to
become more popular, especially with SDR radios. This means that functions like aural
spectrum visualisation may be used more particularly in the HF bands.
The bhi unit provides stereo or mono noise cancellation. It caters for both High level
and medium level audio input signals and is designed for headphone use but will drive a
pair of headphones, a pair of amplified speakers or a passive mono speaker.
The bhi Compact In-line module makes use of new improved dual channel DSP noise
cancelling technology, which can handle mono and stereo signals, and has an improved
noise suppression algorithm that brings improved speech quality to the listener. The
resultant processed speech doesn’t suffer as much with residual artefacts when
operating in higher noise levels and is clearer and more intelligible.

How to connect to your Compact In-Line Module:
Note: look at the connection diagrams on page 3 onwards to find the one that
suits your setup.
1. Use the ALD-007 stereo plug lead supplied to connect your radio or receiver to the unit. If using
the standard “EXT SPKR” socket on your radio or receiver connect this to the “Speaker In”
socket. If using “Line Out” or the headphone socket on your radio or receiver connect to “Line
In” on the unit. Note: It will not damage your radio if you connect the stereo lead to the
standard 3.5mm mono extension speaker socket on your radio. See the diagrams below for the
other various connection methods you may wish to use.
2. To power the unit use the fused DC power lead supplied to connect to a 12V DC power supply or
fit 2 x AA batteries by removing the battery housing using a suitable screwdriver. See page 5 for
suitable mains “plug-in” DC power supplies and power adapters.
3. Connect a pair of headphones, powered stereo speakers, or a mono speaker to the Phones
socket.

Note: The Compact In-Line is designed to be used mainly with headphones but can drive a 4 or 8
ohm mono speaker. Just connect your mono speaker to the “Phones” output socket. If you want to get
the max audio output possible from your mono speaker then you will need to connect your mono speaker
as in the diagram below “Bridge Tied Load”.
