Abstract: A selectable impedance matching circuit for matching the impedance of a telephone handset adapted for either a carbon microphone input or an electronic microphone input to the impedance of a headset microphone. The selectable impedance matching circuit includes a switch for connecting the headset microphone to the handset microphone input via a full wave bridge circuit, or connecting the headset microphone to the handset microphone input via an isolation transformer and resistor load.
Abstract: A microphone and earphone headset assembly, including an earphone housing having a microphone and boom pivotally attached, the earphone housing having a peripheral groove. An earpiece adapter includes a C-shaped clamp for fitting into the peripheral groove, and the adapter also has a mounting hole for attachment to a headset band or to an earpiece.
