David Clark DC ONE-X Headset

Discover a new level of comfort and performance in the cockpit with the David Clark DC ONE-X Headset. These headsets have been engineered to be one of the most advanced ANR solutions on the market, perfect for general aviation and turboprop pilots who demand nothing less. Their modern design, crafted with the finest composite materials, combined with exclusive David Clark ear seals, delivers the quality, lightness, and comfort every pilot seeks for enjoyable flight hours.

Hybrid Noise Cancellation and Crystal-Clear Communications

At the heart of the DC ONE-X is its exclusive hybrid Active Noise Reduction (ANR) system. Integrated into a state-of-the-art audio system, this system is capable of reducing noise by up to 30 dB, with an ANR attenuation range from 20 Hz to 1 KHz. This translates into a quieter cockpit environment and significantly reduced auditory fatigue. Complementing this technology, the extraordinary M-55 microphone (pre-polarized condenser microphone (electret)) incorporates an advanced noise attenuation function, ensuring your communications are always clear and crisp, even in the noisiest environments. Its microphone frequency response is 12 to 15,000 Hz, with a nominal impedance of 1500 ohms and a source resistance of 4700 ohms. The ear impedance is 150 Ω mono / 300 Ω stereo (each ear).

Ultra-Lightweight, Foldable, and Durable Design

The DC ONE-X series combines advanced comfort and technology features with a lightweight yet robust alloy suspension system. Weighing only 350 grams (12.3 oz) without the cable, they are incredibly light, reducing pressure on the head during prolonged flights. Their design allows the headsets to fold compactly, facilitating storage in smaller spaces and improving portability. Furthermore, they come with an exclusive carrying bag included, ensuring your headsets are always protected.

Advanced Bluetooth Connectivity and Intuitive Control

This model is equipped with an advanced control module that includes Bluetooth functionality. This allows you to connect your mobile devices, tablets, or music players to the headset's audio system, so you can enjoy your playlists and multimedia content while flying*. The control module also allows for individual volume adjustment for each earcup, giving you full control over your listening experience. The module is powered by two AA batteries, providing an impressive battery life of up to 50 hours (Continuous use of the Bluetooth function may reduce battery life).

Superior Performance with Fail-Safe Operation

David Clark Electronic Noise Cancelling (ENC) headsets are designed to deliver superior active noise reduction performance. They are perfect for pilots who are passionate about sound. They feature electronically independent dual headphone drivers with Fail-Safe operation. This ensures uninterrupted communication, even if the ENC system or its power supply fails, providing an additional layer of vital aviation safety. Their ear coupling design is around-the-ear (circumaural) and the connector type is standard dual GA plugs. The shielded connection cable is 0.155 inches (4.0 mm) OD and 6 feet (1.8 meters) long.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the difference between hybrid noise cancellation and traditional noise cancellation?
Hybrid noise cancellation combines external and internal microphones for broader and more effective noise reduction across a wider range of frequencies, offering superior performance compared to ANR systems that only use external or internal microphones.

Can I use the DC ONE-X headsets if the batteries run out?
Yes, thanks to the "Fail Safe" feature, the DC ONE-X headsets continue to provide passive audio communication even if the ANR system or its power supply (batteries) fail, ensuring uninterrupted communication.
