intelligibility in all noise levels and can be tailored to your needs through its
programmable options.
Selectable two-channel talking and/or listening allows the operator to
communicate on either of the intercom channels separately or on both at once.

panel button activates both this function and an associated relay. A balanced
program input allows monitoring of external audio using the headset or
speaker.
