Lightspeed announces the Zulu PFX ANR Headset
Zulu PFX ANR Headset with Bluetooth®
Streaming Quiet™ dynamic ANR continuously adapts to your environment, extending the amount, consistency, and frequency range of noise cancellation.Acoustic response mapping measures your unique auditory landscape, adapting the audio response to your ear shape and size for maximum noise attenuation, voice clarity, and music fidelity.
Personal preferences can be set using the enhanced capabilities in FlightLInk, the proprietary app developed by Lightspeed:- Bass and treble levels of the intercom and auxiliary inputs can be adjusted independently and separate intercom priority options can now be set for Bluetooth and wired input.
- The voice clarity option boosts frequencies common in human speech without impacting the quality of music from auxiliary devices.
- In-flight recording is now accomplished through a wireless Bluetooth® connection.
 Zulu PFX adapts to your ears through acoustic response mapping. This proprietary technology uses sound waves and advanced signal processing to measure your unique auditory landscape, adapting the audio response to your ear’s size and shape for maximum noise attenuation, voice clarity and music fidelity. |

 Streaming Quiet™ ANR allows Zulu PFX to adapt to your environment. Streaming Quiet uses ambient microphones to continuously sample cockpit noise before it penetrates the ear cup. An internal microphone placed near the ear canal monitors ANR performance. The microphones feed information to the CPU, a powerful digital processor that analyzes a stream of both the external ambient noise and internal residual noise at a rate of one million times a second and instantaneously creates precise ANR responses customized to your dynamic cockpit sound environment. The result is a dramatic extension in the amount, consistency, and frequency range of noise cancellation—regardless of the aircraft—allowing important communication to come through with amazing clarity and producing music with outstanding fidelity. |
Personal preferences can be set using the enhanced capabilities in FlightLink, the proprietary app developed by Lightspeed for the Apple iPad® and iPhone®. Bass and treble levels of the intercom and auxiliary inputs can be adjusted independently and separate intercom priority options can now be set for Bluetooth and wired input. The voice clarity option boosts frequencies common in human speech without impacting the quality of music from auxiliary devices.In addition to its advanced personalization features, Zulu PFX also leverages the latest technological advances across multiple fields.
