Acoustic Considerations
The 503BG maximizes performance in close-talking applications through its tailored frequency response, directionality and distance discrimination. It optimizes and controls sounds within the 100 to 7000 Hz frequency range and reduces sounds outside that range. The 503BG rejects noise through its inherent directional properties and discriminates against distant sounds in favor of close-range sounds.
