As headsets often have to be worn for many hours at a time, pilots depend on perfect communication with high comfort levels and excellent speech intelligibility. Sennheiser’s new HME 43-K is aimed at airlines and business jets, and proves that such headsets don’t have to cost a fortune. "With the HME 43-K we have added a low-cost model to our product range", says Jörg Buchberger, Sennheiser’s Product Manager for aviation. "Lowering cost does not mean however, lowering comfort standards or transmission reliability."
At only 95g in weight, the new headset is very light. Generous, soft padding both in the extra large ear pads and the adjustable headband ensure a safe and comfortable fit. The noise-compensated condenser microphone can be worn either on the left or right and has a 300 degree radius. In addition, the pilot can adjust the microphone sensitivity according to his needs. "Precise crystal-clear voice transmission is exceptionally important for pilots," says Product Manager Jörg Buchberger, "therefore the HME 43-K offers not only a first-class microphone but also protection against noise surges with ActiveGardTM. Exposure to transmitted noise surges can considerably disturb communication and more importantly, can cause permanent damage to an individual’s hearing."
The HME 43-K is supplied complete with a microphone windshield, cable clip and a practical pouch for storage and transport. Every HME 43-K comes with a two-year guarantee.
As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of microphones, headphones and wireless transmission systems, the Sennheiser Group with its headquarters in Wedemark near Hanover, Germany, had total sales of about €300 million in 2005. The export share is 82.5%. Sennheiser has a total workforce of more than 1,650 employees, of whom about 60% are employed in Germany. Sennheiser is active worldwide and, in addition to other partnerships, has its own sales subsidiaries in France, the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, China, Singapore, Canada, Mexico and the USA.
