New CC 515 Headset from Sennheiser Communications
The high-end 500 series, specially developed by Sennheiser Communications for offices and contact centres, has been joined by a new member of the family: the CC 515 combines sound quality, reliability and optimum safety with even more convenience. The CC 515 features extra-large ear caps, significantly improving fit and comfort and making the headset ideal for use in noisier environments where accurate communication is essential, such as emergency services and trading floors.
Operators who wear a headset all day demand high standards when it comes to comfort, safety and sound quality, which is why Sennheiser Communications has developed headsets for the professional user that place special emphasis on comfort and safety. The 500 series offers the right model for every taste, regardless of whether the user prefers a binaural or monaural solution.
The new CC 515 is a monaural version, which makes it particularly light and comfortable to wear. This solution also allows the user to keep in touch with what is going on around them. The headband can be adjusted independently on both sides for a perfect fit to the head and the unique balanced side support system provides additional stability. Based on the CC 510, the CC 515 has XL 51 mm ear caps for improved comfort and good isolation from surrounding sound. Like the other models in the high-end series, the CC 515 has an ultra noise-cancelling microphone, which filters out ambient noise and thereby ensures optimum clarity.
A unique feature of the Sennheiser Communications headsets in the 500, 300 and 200 series is the ActiveGard system to help safeguard hearing. The system cuts in before any potentially damaging acoustic burst can reach the ear. It not only reduces the dangerous energy of the sound, but eliminates it completely. As soon as the volume returns to a safe level, ActiveGard™ restores the normal working volume and switches back to the monitoring mode.
Tests confirmed by the renowned Norwegian research institute Nemko Comlab show that ActiveGard is superior to conventional systems, which merely chop off the peak volume without removing the energy of the sound pressure. As a result, the signal retains its dangerous energy, and annoying distortion may occur. Such systems offer considerably less safety than ActiveGard.
