‘live mic’, particularly in head-out (windy) situations
New earcushion
materials
- Specifically designed for optimum
noise attenuation and comfort
- Improves comfort leading to reduced
fatigue on long missions
- No leaking or hardening which can
otherwise degrade the acoustic seal
- Easily retrofitable during routine
maintenance
