Why would you want Electronic Noise Cancellation?
Communication headsets used in high noise conditions are typically of the circumaural type. A rigid cup encloses the ear, and a cushion seals the cup to the side of the head. These headsets passively attenuate noise by isolation. Hearing protection is provided by a rigid wall between the ear and the noise.
In a carefully designed headset this passive attenuation is very effective at reducing a broad spectrum of audio noise, but it does not achieve high attenuation for low frequencies (e.g. below 200 Hz). This is unfortunate because most aircraft generate very high sound levels at low frequencies. In response to these conditions David Clark Company developed the Electronic Noise Canceling Headset System. (ENC)
How does Electronic Noise Cancellation work?
Our ENC Headset System is manufactured to the same high standards as
our conventional headsets. Superior passive attenuation is combined with
state of the art electronic noise cancellation in a product providing
exceptional communication clarity.
