Aloft Technologies will add stereo sound to the list of benefits provided by their headsets in time for the EAA AirVenture Fly-In taking place in Oshkosh, Wisconsin from July 25- 31. Previously the Clarity Aloft headsets were offered in monaural only. The volume of requests for stereo sound from existing and potential customers has driven this new product offering. Technical officers at Aloft Technologies anticipate high market acceptance of the product as well as excitement in the marketplace for a headset that exceeds the sound fidelity typically offered in an aviation headset.

"AirVenture attendees look for new product offerings every year and visitors to our booth will have new features and benefits to consider in the Clarity Aloft stereo headset", explained Bill Waterman, President of Aloft Technologies. Aloft Technologies offers free product demonstrations throughout the week during the Fly-In.

One chief advantage behind the move to stereo is that pilots or passengers with any sort of differential hearing loss could benefit from being able to set the sound level of the left and right speakers separately. The headsets will still have only one volume control, but the levels can be set by turning the balance control in a small recessed area of the volume control box.

There will also be a music input in the new version. This means that Clarity Aloft owners will be able to listen to their iPods or CD players in full stereo. In spite of these additions, there is still no need for batteries and the headsets need only draw limited power from the aircraft panel.
