Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0723381A1] The device has two microphones (2,3) coupled to a control unit (1). The microphones (2,3) supply the control unit (1) with input signals. The control element (1) transmits at least one output signal to at least one transmission element (8). The control unit (1) is spatially separated from the microphones (2,3). Each microphone (2,3) is held in an ear housing (4,5) which can be arranged near the ear (22). Each housing (4,5) has a transmitter (6) which communicates with a receiver (7) near the control unit (1). A transmitter element (8) is arranged near at least one of the housings (4,5) and has a receiver (9). This communicates with a transmitter (10) near the control unit (1). A comparator (12) analyses the microphone signals and modifies the output power of the control unit (1) to adapt to a spatial sound reproduction.
