Lightspeed Zulu Headset-$1.00 Overnight Shipping | SkyGeek.com

Thanks for stopping by SkyGeek and looking at the LightSPEED Zulu ANR headset with standard dual aviation plugs. This beauty comes in a hard carrying case along with a 2.5 millimeter cable for cell phone input and a 3.5 millimeter cable for music. The Zulu also features a Bluetooth connection for hands free cell phone use. The headset itself weighs just under 14 ounces and folds up for easy storage.

The earcups are made of Magnesium, which will reflect 5-10 times more sound than those made of plastic. The ear seals are made of a soft leatherette material and have been designed to be a bit larger for a more comfortable fit. The head pad is made of the same leatherette material and has a gap in the middle which will accommodate the button on the top of a baseball cap.

The headset features new FRC, or Front Row Center, technology, which produces top-notch stereo music separation when connected to a stereo device.

The Zulu has more total noise cancellation than any other headset on the market. The ANR was designed to cancel different levels of noise, depending on different frequencies perceived, as opposed to canceling out one main decibel range.

On the front of the battery pack there is a button to activate ANR, switches for dual volume controls, Front Row Center on and off, the Bluetooth connection button, and the Bluetooth volume controls.

On the back of the pack inside the battery compartment are dip switch settings for stereo/mono, bass boost, treble boost, cell mic bias which allows you to make cell phone calls without having the headset connected to a panel, intercom noise gating, and a factory reset option.

The Zulu is powered by two AA batteries which last about 40-50 hours. It also features a muting function. So when hooked up to a cell phone or music device, the sound will automatically cut out for ATC transmissions.

The Zulu is backed by a five year warranty and is available in the following variations:

The User Guide for the Zulu makes it really easy to get flying FAST instead of having to sit and read for hours before you get to try your new "toy" out!

Reading it now while you're waiting for the Zulu to arrive will familiarize you with all its features and allow you to have a great time "getting to know" one another. Better warn your wife that she will be second fiddle 'till the newness wears off!

SkyGeek does recommend that if you're going to sleep with the headset that you at least fold it up first and have the respect for your significant other to sneak it under your pillow, ok?

Here are some quick facts about the Zulu:

• NAME: Taken from “Zulu time,” the pilot term for Greenwich Mean Time.
• NOISE REDUCTION: The best combination of Active and Passive in the market.
• MATERIALS: Made from metal and composite plastics. Magnesium Ear cups are half the thickness of typical plastic cups yet provide a better rigid barrier for attenuation. Ear cups have heat sensitive foam covered in soft leather.
• HEADBAND: Removable, vented headpad for comfortable weight distribution. Thin, flexible, formable spring steel band design produces 40% lower side pressure on ear cups than on the 3G series. Calibrated magnesium sliders adjust ergonomically to accommodate larger heads with uniform pressure.
• WEIGHT: 13.9 ounces.
• BATTERIES: Requires 2 AA batteries. Estimated to last 40 hrs.
• STORAGE: Headset folds flat when not in use.
• BLUETOOTH COMPATIBLE: Wireless phone and music interface with controls is embedded into the battery box.
• COMM. PRIORITY MUTE: Circuitry gives priority to incoming radio calls, automatically muting the aux music source.
• AUDIO SYSTEM: Full wireless stereo interface with patented Front Row Center (FRC) audio circuitry. One wireless audio input and one wired. The Zulu FRC solves the problem of left/right channel isolation on stereo headphones. The processor closely matches the shadowing affect of the head for the “crossfeed” signal to the left (or right) ear. The signal is both amplitude and delay corrected to compensate for the increased distance the sound would travel. The results are extremely pleasing and akin to switching from mono to stereo.
• AUTO SHUT-OFF: Batteries shut off automatically (after 2 minutes) when headset is left unattended.

Open that stylish Zulu box & giggle, because you see the following:

1. The ZULU ANR Headset!
2. Microphone Windscreen
3. 2 AA Batteries
4. User Guide (this should be your old friend by now since we know you printed the one from the SkyGeek website and took it to the bathroom with you)
5. Carrying Case and Detachable Shoulder Strap
6. Cell Phone Cable with standard 2.5mm Connector
7. Audio Device Cable

   Yank that puppy out of the box and get ready to fit it to your noggin! A proper fit is an important part of both comfort and ANR performance. Here's how to fit it!

   The Active Noise Reduction (ANR) feature requires a good seal around your ears and a symmetrical fit over your head. When properly fitted, the ear cups should completely cover your ears and the headband should rest lightly on top of your head. Taking the time to fit the Zulu correctly now can save you a lot of headaches later (pun intended).

   1. Fully extend both ear cup sliders.
   2. Put the headset on with the microphone and cable to your left.
   3. Pressing the top of the headband down onto your head, slide up each ear cup until it covers your entire ear without pinching any part of your ear under the seal. Make sure the two ear cup sliders are extended an equal amount.
   4. Position the microphone 1/8 inch from your mouth.
   5. The Zulu headset adjusts to fit most adults.
