Controlling the volume of a single aircraft powered headset

With ANR turned on:

1.Set the aircraft communication system to a safe operating level.

Note: If you are connecting the headset to your aircraft for the first time, turn down the master output level of your radio/intercom system to avoid exposure to high volume levels.

2.Turn each volume knob on the headset control module down to decrease, or up to increase the volume of the earcup it controls.

Volume control using multiple headsets

When an aircraft has more than one headset connected to its audio system, the pilot in command should adjust the volume of his/her Bose Aviation Headset as follows:

1.Turn off ANR by setting the power switch to OFF.

2.Turn up each volume knob on the headset control module to its maximum.

3.Adjust the master volume on your aircraft intercom or radio until you can hear communications clearly.

Note: This should be done in a noisy environment.

4.Adjust the knobs on the headset control module to balance the volume between the left and right earcups.

5.Turn ANR back ON.

6.Reduce the master volume on the aircraft intercom or radio to the level you prefer.

After the pilot’s headset volume is set, passengers may adjust the volume of their headsets. Have them follow steps 1 and 2 under “Controlling the volume of a single aircraft powered headset” above.

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.

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.
