Frequently Asked Questions
Headset with laryngophone designed for Puxing stations. This device is superior to the classic headset with a microphone. The laryngophone uses a principle of sound perception that is superior to that of a traditional microphone. The extendable acoustic tube provides good maneuverability, and the large PTT is easily accessible in difficult situations.

Product Description
This headset consists of a headset and a laryngophone. The laryngophone is essentially a microphone; unlike traditional microphones that capture sound through the air, the laryngophone captures sound vibrations through direct contact with the throat in the laryngeal area. This method is superior in terms of sound intensity but inferior in sound quality. Being in direct contact with the throat, the necessary sound intensity is much lower, even whispering is perceived and transmitted. However, the sound quality may seem slightly poorer than that of a traditional microphone, with a metallic and muffled tone.
This laryngophone is equipped with 2 receivers with the following characteristics:
- Sensitivity: -38+/-2dB
- Impedance: 2.2Ω @ 1kHz
- Omnidirectional frequency: 100Hz - 16000Hz
- Maximum supply voltage: 10V
- Normal supply voltage: 3V
- Current consumption: Max. 0.5mA
- S/N ratio: min. -58dB @ 1kHz
The laryngophone is adjustable in size, recommended for a neck circumference between 33cm and 43cm.
The headset is integrated within the laryngophone, and sound is transmitted to the ear via an extendable acoustic tube. The sound quality is very good, and the included supports allow for secure attachment of the headset within the ear canal. Prolonged use may cause discomfort. It is recommended to periodically ventilate the ear by removing the headset from the ear canal.
The headset features are as follows:
- Speaker impedance: 32Ω +/- 15%
- Sensitivity: 120 +/- 3dB @ 1kHz
- Resonant frequency: 400Hz +/- 20%
- Nominal input power: 200mW
- Maximum input power: 500mW
The headset's PTT (Push to Talk) button is large, allowing for quick access and thus improving the user's response time. The button is digital and covered with a protective rubber membrane. Pressing it is easy, and the rubber membrane protects the contact from weather and moisture.
The device's electrical installation is made from durable electric cable. There is a socket for connecting an additional PTT near the existing PTT. Behind the laryngophone, there is a Jack socket for connecting an external headset.
To use the headset, the 44-K adapter must be connected; this links the headset to the station. The package includes a removable crocodile clip for better cable management of the headset. To use the headset, it is necessary to connect the acoustic tube to the designated port on the laryngophone body. Finally, the laryngophone's circumference should be adjusted correctly. It is essential to secure it tightly. If it does not have direct contact with the throat, it cannot accurately perceive sound vibrations.
The package includes the following:
- Laryngophone with large PTT
- Adapter for connecting to the station
- Extendable acoustic tube
- 2 internal adapters for the ear canal
- 2 adapters for additional securing of the internal adapters.
- Additional crocodile clip for securing
