Zenitel PhonTech MkII Sound Reception Display Unit P-8300

The Phontech Sound Reception Display Unit P-8300 MkII is designed to receive and detect foghorn sounds from other marine vessels in the range of 70-2100 Hz. The P-8300 MkII is for use on-board one-man operated closed bridge class ships.

Connected to an omnidirectional microphone/antenna unit mounted outside of the vessel, the P-8300 MkII main display unit will reproduce and amplify incoming sounds from all directions and indicate the approximate direction of the nearby ship by clear light indications.

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-8300 MkII main display unit includes a web interface for easy configuration as well as a status (error) indication, control knob for adjustable volume, dimmer and LED test.
