Description
The ACC-1003 uses acoustic noise canceling which was developed
to allow clear radio communications, in extremely high ambient noise
environments. Noise canceling is accomplished by allowing the rear
of the microphone diaphragm, as well as the front, to be exposed to
the ambient noise field. Since the front and rear sound waves differ in
phase from each other by 180 degrees, a highly effective cancellation
results. The ambient sound is substantially prevented from being
converted to an electrical analog, thereby nearly eliminating it from
the microphone output signal.
The flexible boom may be bent anywhere along its length, in any
direction. The "mechanical memory" provided by the spring-loaded
feature allows the boom to maintain its adjustment, even when
accidentally bumped of pushed.
Although the ACC-1003 boom microphone headset weighs only 11
ounces, the large, plush, foam-filled ear pads reduce background
noise substantially, allowing the operator to hear received signals
clearly, even in very noisy environments. The matching padded
headband increases comfort on the top of the head and imparts a
luxurious appearance to the unit.
Adjusting the flexible boom:
The flexible boom is spring-loaded, so that once you have set the
adjustment, it will tend to be maintained, even though it may be
bumped or pushed, accidentally. This means you must overcome the
spring force by bending the boom farther than the position you want.
That way, when it springs back somewhat, it will be set correctly.

CAUTION: It is nearly impossible to adjust the microphone close to
the mouth without first removing the headset from the head. With the
headset removed from the head, bend the boom very drastically, so
that when it springs back, the microphone will be too close (actually
leaning on the face). Then, complete the adjustment while wearing
the headset by pulling the microphone away, just slightly. The Model
ACC-1003s noise canceling microphone is designed for very close
talking! It should be adjusted to the corner of the mouth, only about
an eighth-inch (or less!) away. Talk into the side with the circular cut-
out. The rear of the microphone which is completely covered with
acoustically transparent plastic foam must remain unblocked to
provide the noise-canceling feature). It is generally best to talk across
the microphone, rather than directly into it. This practice will help to
direct breath “blasts” away from the sensitive diaphragm, and avoid
overload of the microphone element, which could cause distortion.
The microphone boom length may be adjusted by pushing or pulling it
in and out of the ear cup.
