Jim Weir - aviation headset specifications

[Rick Pellicciotti]

Jim,
Is there a document or a "standard" somewhere that states what the
requirements are for aviation headsets? In particular, impedence of
microphones and headphones, etc.

thanks in advance,

Rick Pellicciotti

TSO-C57 for headsets and speakers. TSO-C58a for microphones. RTCA/DO-214
for environmental conditions.
