Entry-Level Unit Priced For Students, Private Pilots, Flights
Schools
DRE Communications as just unveiled its newly upgraded DRE-1001
headset, saying the new model includes many of the features
typically found on high end units.
The new DRE-1001 comes with gold-plated plugs and cabling that
meets Mil-Spec requirements. The headset features a full flex boom,
dual volume controls and a noise-canceling electret mic. A padded
stainless steel headband connects two rugged ABS ear cups which
house high-fidelity headphone drivers. Gel ear seals can be added
as an option. The DRE-1001 delivers an impressive 24db of passive
noise reduction with excellent clarity and sound. It is available
for either fixed or rotary wing aircraft.
The new DRE-1001 sells for $130.95 and weighs less than a
pound.
DRE says the headset's price point makes it attractive for a
wide range of applications, from flight schools to student pilots
to aircraft owners looking for quality headsets. "We encourage
pilots to take a good look at the headsets available on the
market," says DRE's Pat Hartley. "That makes it easier for someone
to see the DRE-1001 is clearly one of the best standard headsets
you can buy."
DRE Communications also manufactures the new stereo active noise
reduction DRE-6001 headset, priced at about half the cost of many
competing ANR headsets. The company also produces the high-end
passive DRE-4001 at $193.95. In late summer DRE will introduce a
new premium stereo portable intercom that comes with an optional
mounting flange for panel mounting in your aircraft. All DRE
Communications products come with a full 3 year factory
warranty.
