Sennheiser A1 manual Switching on and off, adjusting the volume, Adjusting the frequency response

Page 3

The A 1 is a hearing amplifier for people who wish to improve their hearing only in case of need.

Switching on and off, adjusting the volume

The device is turned on and off and the volume adjusted by turning the knurled knob on the top (see illustration on last page).

The A 1 is equipped with an automatic gain control

If the wearer speaks or there is a loud noise, at the very same moment the volume is sharply reduced. Unpleasantly loud sound peaks are thus prevented, and the wearer’s own speech retains its natural sound. The automatic gain control is set in the factory to provide optimum comfort.

Adjusting the frequency response

Using the adhesive strips provided, the small holes in the receivers transducers can be closed. The frequency response changes depending on how many holes are covered in this way (see illustration on last page). If all holes are left open all sounds are balanced, to a considerable extent. If all holes are closed, primarily speech is transmitted.

Power supply

The A1 has an economical and environmentally-friendly power supply in the form of the BA 90 storage-battery module. Charging the battery provides approx. 10 hours of operation at medium volume. Longer operation is possible when a second battery module (accessories) is used. One of these at a time can be charged in the L 90 charger. Overcharging is impossible, so the battery module may remain plugged in over a longer period.
