LIGHTSPEED ZULU HEADSET (FIXED WING)

The Zulu Headset is so quiet, it’s actually possible to appreciate high end audio performance. Lightspeeds Zulu incorporates advanced audiophile technology that has never before been available on any type of headset. In addition the Lightspeed Zulu has Bluetooth compatibility for cordless cell phone access. One of the first clues that Zulu is different is the size of the ear cups, they're shallow. Earlier Lightspeed headsets achieved optimal ANR performance with earcups that had a distinctively prominent profile. With the Zulu headset, engineers figured out a way to give the headset much better passive performance while making the ear cup significantly smaller. They accomplished this by using magnesium in combination with specially tuned plastics. When it comes to reflecting airborne acoustic waves, magnesium reflects 10 times more sound than traditional plastic cups while being both stronger and lighter. But by itself, magnesium resonates sound. So Lightspeed engineers created a design that uses both the sound reflecting properties of magnesium and the damping properties of plastics to provide an optimally quiet experience. The sturdy Zulu headset weighs just over 13 ounces, not counting the cord and battery case. Inside the headband is a core of thin, flexible spring steel, which gives an excellent fit with 40% lower side pressure than Lightspeed's 3G series headsets. Luxurious, soft leather surrounds extra wide earseals made from temperature sensitive foam. Calibrated magnesium sliders adjust ergonomically to the wearer's exact head size with uniform pressure. The vented headpad evenly distributes the weight of the headset and can be removed. A ll wiring is fully concealed, using patented design features, and the headset folds flat for easy storage. They also developed special Noise Gating Technology (NGT) to eliminate intercom noise. The headset has two independent auxiliary inputs, both capable of cell phone and stereo connectivity. One is wired and the other is Bluetooth compatible, allowing the user to listen wirelessly to music or talk on a cell phone. The switchover from music source to phone is seamless, with an incoming call automatically getting priority. Made from metal and composite plastics. Magnesium Ear cups are half the thickness of typical plastic cups yet provide a better rigid barrier for attenuation. Ear cups have heat sensitive foam covered in soft leather. Headband: Removable, vented headpad for comfortable weight distribution. Thin, flexible, formable spring steel band design produces 40% lower side pressure on ear cups than on the 3G series. Calibrated magnesium sliders adjust ergonomically to accommodate larger heads with uniform pressure. Weight: 13.9 ounces Batteries: Requires 2 A batteries. Estimated to last 40 hrs Storage: Headset folds up when not in use Bluetooth compatible: W ireless phone and music interface with controls is embedded into the battery box Comm. Priority Mute: Circuitry gives priority to incoming radio calls, automatically muting the aux music source Audio System: Full wireless stereo interface with patented Front Row Center (FRC) audio circuitry. One wireless audio input and one wired.
