Microphone Adjustment 

Microphone booms on Series 9100 Headsets are hybrid style, in that the lower half is a hinged 
wire type (where it meets the ear cup), mated to a bendable flex boom (terminates in the 
microphone bracket). 

On over-the-head style Headsets, microphone booms can be rotated 280°, so as to be worn on 
either the user’s left or right side. The same is true on behind-the head styles as well, though on 
these models the additional action of rotating the headband spring 180° over the top of each 
dome stop is necessary to change the left/right orientation of the mic boom. 

For optimum mic performance, 

the microphone must not only pick up the user’s speech but also 

cancel background noise. To achieve this, 

the microphone should be positioned zero to 1/8” 

away from the user’s lips at the corner of the mouth for the best signal to noise ratio and 
maximum noise cancellation 

(see Figure 3)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To help position the mic, the wire end of the mic boom is adjustable in/out of the boom guide kit 
as installed on the ear cup. Additionally, the hinge where the wire meets the flex boom section 
will swivel the mic 

bracket in towards the user’s mouth. Use both of these adjustment points to 

achieve an optimal mic position; tightening the screws on these pivot points on private-issue 
headsets will better facilitate ease of positioning with repeated use 

(see Figure 4)
