Mode Configuration

The 3M Noise Reduction Board can be configured in several different modes by setting DIP switch, SW2. Following is a brief description of each mode and a DIP switch setting table.

Noise Reduction: With SW2 number 1 ON, the inbound microphone voice signal is digitized. The noise is digitally removed from the voice and converted back to an analog voice signal. The analog voice signal is then sent to the microphone input of the intercom.

Echo Reduction: With SW2 number 2 ON, echo is reduced for full-duplex intercom systems. Set SW2 number 2 OFF for half-duplex systems.

Restaurant/Truck Stop Noise Reduction Level: With SW2 number 3 OFF, the A121 is set for restaurant noise reduction level. With SW2 number 3 ON, the A121 is used for truck stop noise reduction level, which provides more noise reduction with slightly more voice degradation.

Hi Frequency Equalization: With SW2 number 4 ON, the higher-end frequencies are increased by 3 dB. This should be set to the customer’s preference.
