Bose A20 Headset Cable Connection XLR-5

For pilots operating aircraft with specific connection systems, such as the 5-pin XLR plug, the Bose A20 Headset Cable XLR-5 Connection is the precise, high-performance connectivity solution your Bose A20 headset needs. This straight cable not only ensures a reliable connection, but also integrates advanced features to optimize your in-cockpit experience.

Essential Connectivity for Airbus Aircraft and High-Quality Microphone

This cable is specifically designed to be compatible with Airbus aircraft that use the 5-pin XLR connection. Its robust design ensures solid, long-lasting performance thanks to its metal connectors. It includes a high-performance electret microphone, crucial for ensuring that your voice communications are clear and crisp, even in noisy cockpit environments, improving flight safety and efficiency.

Smart Power and Bluetooth® Options

A standout feature of this cable is its flexible power system and auto-power feature. When it detects power from the aircraft, your Bose A20 headsets automatically turn on and the system switches from battery power to direct power from the aircraft without affecting audio performance or noise reduction. This maximizes battery life. Plus, you can choose between a model with a Bluetooth® control module, which offers a complete interface for wireless audio and communications, or a non-Bluetooth model with a standard control module.

Customizable Control and Professional Certification

This cable isn't just about connectivity, it's about your control and comfort. Audio priority controls with customizable settings let you manage the sound mix, ensuring that important communications are always audible. Active noise reduction, combined with the ergonomic design of the A20, gives you clear sound and a comfortable fit, reducing fatigue on long flights. The auto shut-off feature helps maximize battery life. Plus, it features a wired auxiliary audio input for added versatility. This cable is FAA TSO C-139 and EASA ETSO-C139 certified, confirming its compliance with the highest aviation standards.
