RA440 Throat Microphone
Overview
Many
operational environments dictate that a conventional microphone
cannot be used, maybe due to high background noise, covert
operation or where a boom microphone might interfere with other
operational equipment.
Racal Acoustics' ruggedised, comfortable and lightweight throat
microphone meets the operational demands of these exacting
environments helping to maintain operational tempo and
effectiveness.
Key Features
- Functional in hostile environments
- Rugged and waterproof
- Reliable and serviceable
- Compact, simple solution
Benefits
The RA440 throat microphone is often preferred for use in high
noise or difficult environments to provide excellent quality
communications where operational and environmental constraints
prevent the use of conventional microphone types.
The adjustable, comfortable RA440 throat microphone has single
and twin transducer types available, retained using adjustable,
quick release elastic neck straps to ensure wearer comfort is
maintained during long periods of use.
Applications
The RA440 throat microphone comes into its own in the typical
applications where high noise causes communications difficulties
including armoured vehicles, helicopters or fixed wing aircraft,
naval vessels and ground servicing situations.
Throat microphones are also useful where mechanical
compatibility with military helmets or respirator masks prevents
the use of conventional microphones, or where the user's physical
activities make boom-mounted microphones inconvenient or unsafe to
use.
The proximity of the microphones in this device often allows
clear communications even when the voice is lowered. Added to this
they can often be hidden behind clothing or scarves, making them
ideal for use in covert operations.
