Vincent, PresidentThank you for purchasing the DC PRO-X Hybrid Electronic Noise-Cancellation TechnologyYour DC PRO-X features leading-edge Hybrid Electronic  Noise-Cancelling Technology (ENC) with feed-forward  and feed-back technology for superior active noise  reduction. Feed-forward noise cancelling is accomplished through  an exterior microphone in the ear dome that is isolated from the speaker. The exterior microphone acquires the noise before it gets to the ear. Feed-back noise cancelling is performed by the internal microphone placed near the speaker. The signals are then inverted  to produce a reverse, ‘anti-noise’ signal. This hybrid technology results in unsurpassed active noise reduction performance.

CONTROL MODULE                DC PRO-X USAGE               8  WWW.DAVIDCLARK.COM   WWW.DAVIDCLARK.COM  9Control Module Operation1.  Fail Safe - if batteries are dead or the unit is turned off, microphone and earphones will function when connected to aircraft intercom.2.   The DC PRO-X headset is shipped with the Auto Shutoff feature OFF. In this mode, the Hybrid ENC will function whenever the power is ON.3.  When Auto Shutoff is set to ON, unit will turn off automatically after 5 minutes when:   • Intercom/audio panel turned off   • Not connected to intercom/audio panel   • Not in a phone call4.  Auto shutoff can be enabled/disabled via a small switch located under the batteries (see Quick Start diagram page 6).5. External Audio Management •   Aux audio is muted upon transmit or receive from intercom or radio to ensure priority of audio voice communications6. Cell Phone Interface  •  All intercom parties hear cell phone outbound audio but cell phone  recipient’s voice is heard only by the headset connected/paired to  the cell phone  •  Sidetone is present when connected to aircraft intercom. Sidetone may not be (dependent on cell phone functionality) present when using the headset and cell phone when not attached to the aircraft intercom Proper FittingThe advanced suspension system of the DC PRO-X is designed for a simple and comfortable fit. Proper fit is necessary for maximum effectiveness. The headset should be worn so that the head pad lightly touches the top of the head. Adjust the sliding assembly on each side as necessary (see Fig. 1), keeping slide positions equal on either side. To adjust microphone placement, adjust boom up/down and in/out by rotating and flexing the boom as necessary. Ideal microphone place-ment is 1/8” from the lips, as this will provide maximum intelligibility and ambient noise rejection.  Control Module Operation (cont.)7. Music Listening  •  The Bluetooth® wireless technology feature allows you to listen to your favorite music when paired with cell phones, MP3, tablets, or other  compatible devices. When receiving transmission from ATC, music audio will mute to prioritize communication. Once transmission is completed, music audio will gradually return to the previously set volume level.Fig. 1DCPRO MANUAL 5-10.indd   8-9 5/22/13   10:29 AM
