Abstract:
1. A headset capable of applying a change in amplitude to an input signal, the headset comprising: a main body locatable at a given distance from a desired acoustic source; a boom, movably coupled to the main body and adapted to be positioned in at least a first position and a second position relative to the desired acoustic source; a microphone, wherein the microphone is active when the boom is in the first position and second position; an acoustic sensing point, acoustically coupled to the microphone, wherein the acoustic sensing point is disposed at different distances from the desired acoustic source when the boom is in at least the first position or the second position; and an electrical controller, operably coupled to the boom, for applying a different change in amplitude to the input signal dependent on whether the boom is in the first position or second position without moving the main body relative to the desired acoustic source.
