How it Works

Why You Need a TTU

Companies build security and isolation booths to protect their employees, but do they protect the relationship with the customer? Not if clerks and customers have to shout, growl, and repeat themselves to be heard or understood.

Norcon's patented Talk-Thru Unit is a 2-way, hands-free audio system that provides high-quality personal communication between people separated by security or isolation barriers. It is the most widely used system of its type in the U.S. and the world.

TTU Internals

The Norcon TTU system permits hands-free communication between the booth attendant and the customer. VOX circuitry facilitates ongoing, clear, 2-way conversation at all times, as if both people were in the same room.

The auto mute function of the TTU prevents outside noise from bothering the attendant. If the employee does not speak into the microphone for 30 seconds, the outside channel volume will be reduced by 70%. Normal operation is restored as soon as the employee speaks into the microphone.

The TTU provides clear communication even in environments with high ambient noise. It includes sound shaping circuitry for maximum intelligibility and compression circuitry to lower harsh loud sounds.

The TTU supports both wired and wireless headsets. Headsets consists of a boom mic and a single headphone speaker that covers one ear.
