4.6 Noise-Cancelling

IO-12 headphones incorporate active noise-cancelling 
technology (ANC) that can significantly reduce the 
disturbance of ambient noises – for example, general city 
noise or aircraft cabin noise.

IO-12 active noise-cancelling technology also incorporates 
a transparency option that enables ambient sounds to pass 
through the headphones unimpeded. Transparency can 
enable you to hear conversations or important ambient 
sounds without the need to remove your IO-12 headphones. 
Noise-cancelling is controlled from a push button on the edge 
of the right headphone cup.

  Press the button once to engage noise-cancelling and a 

second time to select the transparency option

  Press the button once again to disengage noise-cancelling 

and transparency.
