Accessible Design
Accessible Design
The UH-1 stands out from other headsets by being fully accessible, allowing users complete access to both inner and outer components. This design makes it easy to replace parts without the hassle of sending the headset in for repairs. Users can repair their UH-1 themselves. Every element—from the internal electronic components to the outer leather earpads—is engineered for easy disassembly, enhancing accessibility and user convenience
Mechanisms
Mechanisms:
Both the internal and external mechanisms of the headset are thoughtfully engineered for user convenience. They are built for smooth operation and durability across a wide range of environments.
Volume knob:
Crafted from metal, the knob features a sleek, smooth design that prevents dust and dirt buildup, making it easy to clean. It also allows for seamless, smooth rotation.
Metal input - output flange:
The UH-1's input, output audio, and power ports are engineered for a lifetime of use. Built with durable materials, they are easy to replace, eliminating worries about worn-out cords or connectors breaking after repeated use.
Mic On & Off switch:
Inspired by the touch of an aviator, the headset combines rugged metal components built to withstand tough conditions. When powered on, an orange light indicates the headset has power, while a green light signals the microphone is active.
Height adjustment:
The height adjustment mechanism is engineered for simplicity, stability, and lasting quality, featuring five or more height adjustments. Hand-screwable bolts enable easy, secure adjustments, allowing users to firmly set the headset in place—unlike other finicky adjusters that shift during use.
Rotation:
The UH-1 headband rests securely on the user’s head, remaining firmly in place. A ball-bearing mechanism enables the shell to rotate smoothly across the necessary axes.
​
Hand & Tool screwable bolts:
Every component of the UH-1 can be easily disassembled using simple bolts, allowing full access to all parts of the headset. No tools are required—just unscrew the bolts by hand for straightforward disassembly.
Dense foam:
Designed to conform to the shape of your head and ears, this headset provides exceptional comfort while preserving the leather's flexibility. Unlike other products that use lower-quality materials and foam, leading to loss of fit and a lack of support, this design ensures lasting durability and a snug, secure feel.
​
Acoustic foam:
The ear cups are equipped with high-density acoustic foam that dampens external noise and improves sound quality, delivering a balanced soundstage.
Quality & Microphone
Quality:
As mentioned, every component of the UH-1 headset is crafted from high-quality materials and engineering, including the power and microphone cords. The thicker flexi-cord is reinforced with a steel-braided protective layer, ensuring the internal electrical transfer wire is securely shielded by a multi-layered shrink tube, including glass reinforcements, PTFE binder tape, thermal tape, and braided steel.
Microphone:
The microphone cord is crafted to meet the same rigorous quality standards, with all components made of durable metal, including the external casing and internal electronics.
Microphone components:
> Audio frequency response rate of ~10 Hz to 30 kHz
> 3.5 mm Jack
> Removable and replaceable
> Directional audible pick-up
Metal Core Printed Circuit Boards (MCPCBs):
like the one used in the UH-1, offer significant advantages over standard PCBs, especially for high-performance and high-durability applications
