Zenitel PhonTech MkII Microphone Unit P-8301

The P-8301 MkII Microphone unit is part of the Phontech 8300 MkII Sound Reception system, designed to receive and detect foghorn sounds from other vessels. The P-8300 MkII Sound Reception system is for use on-board one man operated closed bridge class ships.

By using high capacity microcontrollers and sophisticated software algorithms this digital system has superior performance, both for noise suppression and direction detection. Through the self-calibrating functionality, it is also is very easy to install.

The P-8301 MkII is an omnidirectional antenna with 4 microphones that continously monitors the surroundings for foghorn, bells and gongs in the range between 70-2100Hz.

This P-8300 MkII Sound Reception System is MED-approved and is wheel marked according to MED-B according to (EU) 2022/1157. It is also UK-MER-D / UK-MER-B approved according to UK) MSN.1874.
