_pelt does that stand for Peltor ComTacs?
If so (probably the same with every other military headset (e.g. MSA Sordin)) the lowerVolume should be 0.0 (or even "negative" 😄 ).
Environmental Listening is a means of allowing
safe audio sounds to bypass the individual hearing
protection while still protecting against harmful
noises. This is accomplished with a proprietary
digital audio circuit integrated into the headset.
A microphone receives the sounds outside the
headset and transmits them to a speaker inside
the headset. The Level-Dependent digital audio
circuit senses noise levels above the desired
threshhold and compresses them to a safe decibel
level or amplifies weak sounds to an audible level.

Btw.: The part about
is so very true and quite amazing once you've tried a ComTac for the first time. |

Do all peltors have this tech? In any case we should look into standardizing the values. but some helmet |
It seems so. I can see the external mics on the first generation too.
absolutely
yep, that seems like a mistake |
|
|
I'd suggest something like: GVAR(protection) = 0.7;
GVAR(lowerVolume) = 0.0; |

@bux - Let me know if you can ID these headsets |

First two are Peltors. The last one is unknown to me. |

I'd reduce the lowerVolume value to 0.0 because of the sound enhancing features / microphones

These behave the same as Peltors |
|
With ear muffs that do audio pass through from external microphones (like the Peltors or those MSA Sordins), when the the circuit detects a loud noise (82 db on a pair I have) like a gunshot it cuts the audio pass through and then acts like normal ear muffs for 0.25 seconds or so. I don't know if it's worth doing, but it would be neat to see that simulated as well. |

@Drofseh that's not part of this PR |
Yah fair enough |
