Introduction | en Introduction Description The Electro-Voice model 903E noise-canceling condenser handheld microphone is designed for use in high noise environments where high speech intelligibility is desired such as in aircraft cockpits, passenger cabins, control towers, or terminal areas. The electret element virtually eliminates EMI, RFI, and magnetic signals channeling the full power of your communications system into crisp, articulate voice transmission with the RTCA frequency response.
| Operation 903E Operation Notice! Inspect the hand mic for signs of damage. Do not use the hand mic if signs of damage evident. Plug the hand mic into the aircraft console. Hold the microphone so that the front side (EV logo showing) is facing your mouth and placed near your lips.
Reassembly Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. Check Microphone Output The 903E electret microphone has a speech output of approximately 0.2 volts and is optimal when used with the DO-214A test circuit or an aircraft intercom. Check Switch Operation With the switch released: Configure a multi-meter to read resistance.
