Hand microphones and headsets are installed at each flight crew member station. The hand microphone is designed for close-talking, noise-cancelling applications in high noise level areas. The microphone is packaged in a small molded, black, high-impack phenolic case. A press-to-talk button is located on the upper portion of the case... Oxygen masks with microphones are installed at each flight crew member station. A push-to-talk button is installed on the captain's control wheel and on the first officer's control wheel.

CONT

The CEL-414 is available to meet those requirements where a precision sound level meter is required. A large easy to read liquid crystal display enables the noise levels to be viewed and the slim light weight design will appeal to new and experienced users alike. The CEL-414 can be supplied in European format with the standard 1/2" microphone capsule CEL-192/2F. This is a free field microphone allowing measurements from 20 to 140 dB to be displayed to the relevant IEC requirements. The optional CEL-192/2R capsule is a random incidence microphone fulfilling the requirements of the ANSI specifications. The CEL-414 is available as an A version with the A and Lin frequency weightings or as a C version with the A and C frequency weightings where simple hand held operation is required.

Microphone mobile dont on se sert pour interroger les gens dans une salle en passant de l'un à l'autre.

CONT

[...] il faudra une hôtesse supplémentaire par salle, chargée d'approcher un microphone «baladeur» de ceux qui désirent prendre la parole. Néanmoins, si vous pouvez éviter cette dernière solution, tous les délégués vous en seront reconnaissants, car celle est extrêmement inefficace [...] et crée des temps morts nuisibles à une bonne discussion. Chaque fois que le microphone se promène d'un bout à l'autre de la salle, la commission perdra quinze à trente secondes [...]

OBS
