In

The ability of headphones to shut out unwanted environ-

varies
from

to
aboutnth

The
dep

depends
both on thedesignof
the

and
thefrequencycontent
of
the

such
as
theRTS SystemsLW67 (singlemu@ andI33268

The

the
LH267/LH268

very comfortableand
can
be
worn for long

(8

12hours) without physical
discomfort from the earmuffs or headband. The
LH267bH268
are
low
impedance
and
can
be
turned up
loud.
Because there
is
no isolation,
we
must
be
Iaken
that
the

are
not unintention-

Generally speaking, these headsets
are

Normal

equals
the

of

Example: A BF'317 headset station (with 25 ohm head-

The
