The Lynx Micro System is a unique, self-contained headset and helmet intercom system designed for use in open cockpit and ultralight aircraft.
The Micro System is modular in design and can be configured to meet any specific requirement by selecting the appropriate component parts.
The Micro System headset is a new generation of headset for use in very high noise environments where wind noise may also be a problem.
The headset is noise attenuating and provides hearing protection in noise levels up to 110dB(A).
Each headset contains a specially developed electret noise cancelling microphone, an electronic speech processor and a rechargeable battery located in the headband. Connecting two or more headsets together forms an intercom providing communication for a minimum of fifty hours.
Micro System headsets can be connected to a radio via a range of interface units and are fully compatible with all airband radio transceivers. Each headset battery can be recharged up to one thousand times, and does not suffer from memory effect.
The Lynx helmet and visor system is designed for use with Lynx headsets and combines with them to form an integrated assembly. As the headset can be used without the helmet, this equipment provides a flexible communication system that can be used in both open-cockpit and enclosed-cockpit aircraft.
When fitted with a visor and an optional visor extension, the complete assembly forms a streamlined full face helmet for use in the fastest open-cockpit aircraft.
The visor design incorporates an aerodynamic peak, smooth pivot mechanism and a manual latch to lock the visor in the closed position. To provide unrestricted vision when used with a visor extension, the visor opens fully and also locks into the open position.
