1. HEADSET FEATURES
The Bose® TriPort® Tactical Headsets (TTH & TTH Series 2) are active noise
reduction (ANR) communication headsets intended to be used by military
passengers of wheeled combat vehicles. The TTH headsets include an earcup
assembly (earcups and napeband) and a cable/microphone assembly. The
headsets adjust to fit various heads using adjustment overhead hook and loop straps
to ensure proper fit for noise attenuation. The cable/microphone can be installed on
either the left or right earcup.
In addition to passive attenuation each earcup contains an independent ANR
system. The ANR system reduces background noise within each earcup. The talk-
thru circuit (TTC) allows for local communication when the headset is either
connected or disconnected from the vehicle. The TTC is a user-selectable feature
and is powered via a single AA size battery in the control module and utilizes the
microphones on the front of each earcup. Each earcup has an independent TTC to
allow left/right localization.

3. HEADSET CONNECTORS AND CONTROLS
The connectors and controls for the TTH and TTH Series 2 headsets are integrated
into the cable/microphone assembly normally attached to the left earcup of the
headset. The assembly may be mounted on the right earcup if desired.
The control module on the cable/microphone assembly has a three-position push-to-
talk (PTT) switch as well as a two-position talk-thru circuit (TTC) switch as shown in
Figure 2.0b and 2.0c. The PTT switch is mounted on the face of the control module
and is spring loaded to the center (disabled) position with a momentary PTT position
and latched live intercom position. The control module may also be connected to the
communications microphones typically installed on protective masks. When the
external microphone connector is connected, the control module automatically
disengages the headset boom microphone to receive signals from the external
microphone.

Microphone preamplifier output (TTH only)
This section is only applicable to TTH. The TTH Series 2 product design does
not include an integrated microphone preamplifier output circuit.
TTH ONLY: In the Intercom Mode the boom microphone preamplifier circuit shall
provide an output capable of driving 200mVrms into an unbalanced load of
150±10% ohm AC impedance and not less than 300 ohms DC resistance. The
preamplifier shall provide a gain of 24±1dB with any dynamic microphone. The
preamplifier shall have a flat frequency response between 300 to 4500 Hz.
Harmonic distortion shall be less than 5% for an output of 100mVrms in 24dB
gain mode. The preamplifier shall be bypassed in the Low Power and
Unpowered modes.
Microphone Impedance
The electrical impedance of the microphone at any frequency over the range of
400 to 6000 Hz shall be such that the output voltage shall remain -56±4 dBm @
1kHz re. 103 dBSPL when connected to a 150 ohm load impedance.
Talk-through circuit (TTC)
The headset shall incorporate a talk-through circuit to permit monitoring of the
ambient sound field and direction finding. When mounted on a simulated real
head fixture (mannequin), at 22oC, 50% RH the TTC shall produce gain of 0±
6dB when measured in the 500 Hz octave band and an acoustic frequency
response within 0± 8dB when measured in one octave frequencies between 300
and 4500 Hz and corrected for diffuse field response of the fixture.
The talk-through circuit shall limit direct earcup output to between 86dB(A) SPL
maximum and 72dB(A) minimum with the output corrected for the diffuse field
response of the fixture.
The headset assembly shall accept a number 15A (AA) battery per ANSI C18.1
for operation of the TTC. When exposed to 90 dB, 1kHz noise field with a fresh
battery, the TTC shall provide the following battery life:

exceed 10% with the input adjusted for an output of 100dB SPL at 500 Hz and
then swept from 300 Hz to 4500 Hz. The harmonic distortion of the earpohone
assembly in Unpowered Mode shall not exceed 5% for a -6± 0.1dBV input at 500
Hz and it shall not exceed 10% with the input adjusted for an output of 94dB SPL
at 500 Hz and then swept from 300 Hz to 4500 Hz.
Talk Through Circuit (TTC)
The headset shall incorporate a talk-through circuit to permit monitoring of the
ambient sound field and direction finding. When mounted on a simulated real
head fixture (mannequin), at 22oC, 50% RH the TTC shall produce gain of 0±
6dB when measured in the 500 Hz octave band and an acoustic frequency
response within 0± 8dB when measured in one octave frequencies between 300
and 4500 Hz and corrected for diffuse field response of the fixture.
The talk-through circuit shall limit direct earcup output to between 86dB(A) SPL
maximum and 72dB(A) minimum with the output corrected for the diffuse field
response of the fixture.
Boom Microphone Sensitivity
The dynamic boom microphone sensitivity shall be -56±4 dBm @ 1kHz re. 103dB
SPL.
