Changing the optional operation switches

Note: To change switch positions, use a pen or a small, flat-tipped screwdriver to gently switch the tab.

•Switches 1- 3: Not currently used.

•Switch 4: Set at the factory to enable the smart shutoff function. To disable smart shutoff, set switch to OFF. With the switch in OFF position, the ANR system will not turn off until the power button is depressed and held for at least one second.

Note: The smart shutoff function is designed to detect when the headset is not in use and shut off ANR to preserve battery power. Smart shutoff turns off circuitry several minutes after you remove the headset.

•Switch 5: Set to A at the factory for operation with new headsets. Set it to B if you are installing a portable cable onto an older, exist- ing Aviation Headset that was manufactured before June, 2003.

Note: If you cannot determine the manufacture date of your headset, refer to “Locate the serial number for your product registration card” on page 10.

•Switch 6: Set at the factory for mono audio systems (to provide audio in both ears).

Set it for stereo (ST) if your aircraft has a stereo intercom.

X specifications

Bose X is a premium series of aviation headsets designed specifically for pilots and aviation enthusiasts who demand high-performance audio while flying. Renowned for its exceptional noise cancellation, the Bose X stands out in the realm of aviation communication, providing a crucial advantage in noisy cockpit environments.

One of the most remarkable features of the Bose X is its Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) technology. This innovative system uses microphones both inside and outside of the earcups to detect and counteract ambient noise, resulting in a remarkably quiet listening experience. This feature is especially beneficial during flights where engine noise can be overwhelming, allowing pilots to focus on critical communication and navigation tasks without distractions.

The Bose X is equipped with proprietary TriPort speaker technology, which delivers unparalleled sound quality. This technology allows for a balanced audio experience, ensuring clear communication from both the aircraft’s avionics and any external devices. The headset also features a flexible boom microphone that offers excellent noise rejection, ensuring that the pilot's voice is transmitted clearly without picking up background noise.

Comfort is a key characteristic of the Bose X headset. The ear cushions are designed with soft, pressure-relieving material that contours to the wearer's ears, allowing for extended usage without discomfort. The lightweight design further enhances comfort, as it minimizes fatigue during long flights.

In addition to its primary features, the Bose X also includes user-friendly controls. The intuitive volume control allows pilots to adjust audio levels seamlessly without diverting attention from flying. There are also connections for Bluetooth-enabled devices, which enable pilots to enjoy music or communicate with co-pilots wirelessly.

Durability and reliability are paramount in aviation gear, and the Bose X does not disappoint. It is built with high-quality materials that can withstand the rigors of aviation environments. The headset also includes a detachable cable, making it easy to replace or upgrade as needed.

Overall, the Bose X delivers an exceptional combination of advanced technology, comfort, and durability, making it a preferred choice for many aviation professionals. Whether in small aircraft or large jets, the Bose X enhances the flying experience, facilitating clear communication and unparalleled audio quality in the skies.
