DESCRIPTION
GA3205
The GA3205 is a multi-memory hybrid that, with the addition of
two microphones, can be used to produce a directional
response in any hearing aid. The four available memories can
be programmed to include any of the 4 modes of operation: 1
mic omnidirectional, 2 mic omnidirectional, directional, and
directional equalized. The variable time delay of the circuit
gives it the flexibility to offer a wide range of directivity patterns
(ie. cardioid to hypercardioid) for microphone port spacings
from 6mm to 13mm. Variable low frequency equalization
gives the flexibility to trade-off between bass response and
noise performance.
Calibration software automatically configures the hybrid for
the desired directivity pattern and adjusts the gain trim resistors
to compensate for micropohone sensitivity mismatches
enabling maximum directivity.
The GA3205 hybrid code programmed into the GP523 is "2".
