4.6 Talk-through Compressor Operation.
Listen to the audio source. Move the gain
switch to the +15dB position. Wait for the
sound of words to stablilize before listening
to a minimum of four words from the audio
signal.
PASS/FAIL Criteria. The level of sound
heard through the talk-through must not
increase dramatically after the sound of
the words stabilizes. If verification is
needed compare ambient sound at
increased gain level to sound heard
through the talk-through system.
If headset's compressor takes longer than
five words to stabilize, it is a failure.
5. Talk-through Operation, Active Noise
Reduction (ANR) ON, Quiet Environment
This test verifies proper Talk-through
balance, intelligibility and compressor
operation.
Set-Up Conditions:
•
TT switch - Talk-through ON - 0dB
• Power supply input - 3.0 Volts
(2 AA Batteries) in Control Module
• Headset Microphone switch - Off
•
Headset Battery ANR Switch - Off
5.1 Talk-through Gain. Listen to the
Talk-through background noise in a quiet
environment. Exercise the TT Switch to
+5dB and +10dB positions respectively.
PASS/FAIL Criteria. The noise of the TT
circuit should increase for both earcups at
the +5dB position, and then increase for
both earcups again at the +10dB position.
The headset should not oscillate with either
+5 or +10dB gain.
