Two-Way Communications

David Clark Company manufactures noise attenuating headsets and adapters for use with two-way radios. (Over 300 models)

Why should you use noise-attenuating headsets?

Communicating in noise presents two serious problems:
  1. Intelligibility is seriously reduced as noise levels rise. This adversely effects job performance and creates potentially dangeous situations.
  2. Sustained exposure to high noise levels causes hearing loss.
The use of noise attenuating headsets significantly reduces these hazards.
To use our noise attenuating headsets with your two-way radio, you must determine which adapter and headset combination is correct for you. Therefore, the following questions need to be answered for each headset/radio combination:
(The old method of choosing headsets and adapters is available at the bottom of this page)
  1. Who is the manufacturer of your radio?


  2. What is the model name or number of your radio?


  3. Do you wish to use a PTT (Push-to-talk-switch) to key the radio or would you prefer VOX (Voice activated transmission)

    4.  

    note: VOX not available for mobile radios.
    PTT is the most popular and less problematic answer to this question. VOX is usually required when it is very important that the user has both hands available or is wearing protective or restrictive clothing.
     
  4. What style of headset do you want? Over-the-Head, Behind-the-Head (For wear under protective headgear), or Single Ear or Slotted Dome (when awareness of ambient sounds or conversation is desirable).
