DRE upgrades headset

By Janice Wood · July 27, 2010 ·

DRE Communications has released its newly upgraded DRE-1001 headset.

The new DRE-1001, which comes with gold-plated plugs and cabling that meets Mil-Spec requirements, features a full flex boom, dual volume controls and a noise-canceling electret mic. A padded stainless steel headband connects two ABS ear cups that house high-fidelity headphone drivers. Gel ear seals can be added as an option. The DRE-1001, which delivers 24db of passive noise reduction, is available for either fixed or rotary wing aircraft. Price: $130.95.

DRE Communications also manufactures the new stereo active noise reduction DRE-6001 headset, as well as the high-end passive DRE-4001 at $193.95. In late summer DRE will introduce a new premium stereo portable intercom that comes with an optional mounting flange for panel mounting in your aircraft. All DRE Communications products come with a full three-year factory warranty.

For more information: 877- 987-9977 or DRECommunications.com
