Abstract:
A voice communication relay device for use in combination with a protective face mask having an embedded microphone, a headset, a radio, and a push-to-talk (PTT) device that is connected to a radio. The voice communication relay device includes: a housing; a device speaker associated with the housing; an amplifier in the housing, the amplifier being electrically connected to the device speaker; a circuit board located inside of the housing; and a power source. At least one function of the circuit board is to serve as an Impedance dependent auto switch (IDAS) that is electrically connected to the device speaker and an output connector for selectively sending signals to the device speaker or to a radio that is connected to the PTT device.
