GENERAL
The VR230B combines an efficient "open-air" headphone with a wide-frequency-range, close-talking
dynamic microphone. The headset-microphone combination is very lightweight and durable, and extremely
comfortable.
VR230B microphone is particularly useful for
The
voice processing and computer voice recognition. Its
close-talking characteristics and unidirectional pickup
pattern reduce unwanted background noise, permitting
its use in noisy environments. The microphone
characteristics are tightly controlled resulting in consistent response and output, while the receiver
response is especially tailored to enhance voice intelligibility.
The headband easily adjusts to fit any head size or
hairstyle, and the microphone boom length and cartridge position are fully adaptable to any facial
conformation. The
VR230B's light weight reduces user
fatigue even when worn for long sessions.

USING THE MICROPHONE
Snap the microphone boom into the rotating holder
below the left earpiece. Put on the headset and adjust
the
earpads to the most comfortable position.
(Remember that this headset is designed only for use
with the microphone on the left side.) Slide and twist the
microphone boom, and rotate its holder, until the
microphone is located as close as possible to the left
corner of the mouth (not directly in front). See Figure 6
for optimum microphone position.
