Can the Headset-Chestset transmit as well as receive?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Only receive

Answer: (A)

In sound-powered systems, the headset-chestset is built for two-way operation without any external power. Your voice is picked up by the chest microphone and converted into a signal that travels along the line to the other end, where the remote voice is converted back into sound in the headset. At the same time, the other end can speak back, and you hear it through your headset. Because there’s no separate power source and the device uses your vocal energy to drive the signal in both directions, it can transmit as well as receive. So, yes, it transmits and receives.
