Abstract

Abstract A multipurpose headset amplifier for the connection of a headset (11) to a telephone instrument comprises a housing (5) having an ascending, thready holder (10) for a headset (11) and connection jacks (21, 22, 23) for the headset (11), the telephone instrument (22) and for the telephone instrument's handset, the housing having at the upper side comprises manuel operating members (6, 7, 8) for the adjustment of the device, and manual controls (15) at the underside for the adaptation of a headset to the impedance and signal level of any telephone instrument. The amplifier comprises an internal power supply (12) and a jack (13) for external power supply. The amplifier is furthermore provided with a microphone switch having a light-emitting diode (9), a volume control (7) and a switch (6).
