General Description
A lightweight wideband headset that offers wearing flexibility as well as stylish presentation is essential in any office and professional environment where you’re handling long calls. With its slick black and grey detachable headband for easy switching to an ear-clip attachment and for easy storage, the SH 230 IP USB delivers a more nuanced soundscape for enhanced attention to calls while simultaneously keeping an ear on the office.
Compared with traditional narrowband headsets, wideband technology offers a more natural and warm sound, and captures more speech details at high and low frequencies. When connected to a wideband supported communications line, the SH 230 IP USB delivers natural high-definition sound for superior voice clarity, accented speaker recognition, and reduced echo. The benefits are increased productivity and less fatigue on business calls.
With the Sennheiser USB soundcard adapter integrated in the headset you get an optimal solution that guarantees crystal-clear sound. Whichever Mac, PC or laptop you use; plug-and-talk simplicity ensures easy connectivity, independent sound quality and superior performance.
The SH 230 IP USB headset holds all the usual Sennheiser safety and comfort features including ActiveGard™* technology to protect against acoustic shock and sudden sound surges. Completing the package, the SH 230 IP USB comes with unique foam ear pad and an omni-directional microphone with adjustable boom.

Glossary
| Cable length |
| The cable length is usually measured between the anti-kink sleeves of the cable (cable length without connectors). |
| Frequency response (headphones) |
| The frequency response of a pair of headphones is given within limits defined by the manufacturer. |
| Frequency response (microphone) |
| The frequency response of a microphone is given within the limits defined by the manufacturer. In studio condenser microphones it is generally within the range of between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. |
| Impedance |
| Impedance expresses the AC resistance of a microphone or a set of headphones. It is dependent on frequency and is given at 1 kHz as the so-called nominal impedance. Impedance is measured in ohms. In recent years, an industrial standard has developed, setting the impedance of headphones at 50 or 600 ohms. Sennheiser headphones are manufactured according to this standard, thus practically ruling out connection problems. With microphones, the input impedance of the following microphone amplifier should have at least three times the value of the nominal impedance, in order to prevent it from unnecessarily attenuating the microphone signal. |
| Pick-up pattern |
| Also known as polar pattern, directivity. According to their acoustic design, microphones differ in their sensitivity towards sound from different directions. Pressure microphones have a sensitivity that is largely independent of direction (omni-directional pick-up pattern). Pressure gradient microphones have the pick-up patterns wide cardioid, cardioid, super-cardioid or figure-of-eight. Interference microphones can be used to achieve a further concentration of the pick-up pattern (lobar pick-up pattern). As a special case, dummy head microphones achieve the pick-up pattern of the human ear/head (dummy head stereo). |
| Sound pressure level (SPL) |
| Due to the impractical numerical values, the sound pressure is usually given as the logarithmic value of the sound pressure level according to the equation: dB SPL = 20 x log (po / 0.00002 Pa). The abbreviation SPL (sound pressure level) is added in order to make a clear distinction from other uses of dB. The reference sound pressure, which is at the same time the threshold of hearing, is then 0 dB SPL. The threshold of pain is 140 dB SPL. A difference in the sound pressure level of 1 dB is just about perceptible, while a doubling of the sound pressure corresponds to 6 dB and a doubling of the volume corresponds to a rise of 10 dB. |
