The BP116 and BP117 dual circuit headset outstations offer full simultaneous dual channel communications. Audio from each ring is fed separately to each earpiece. Many users find it easier to follow two different sound sources when they are fed separately to each ear - a system often known as 'split feed'. Speech and signalling to each circuit is available to either or both simultaneously, as required.
Note that if they are used on single circuit systems, the second (unused) circuit connection needs to be terminated. (An LI906 will provide this termination).
Headsets to operate with these binaural dual channel beltpacks need to be fitted with an XLR 5 pin connector, and to have both earpieces separately wired. For obvious reasons, single muff headsets are not suitable for use with these units.
