David Clark DC PRO-2 U-174/U Plug - Military Aviation Headset (43106G-04)

The DC PRO-2 is designed primarily for use in low-noise military cockpits where passive noise attenuation is sufficient. Its low-impedance configuration allows seamless compatibility with most military aircraft intercom and communication systems, making it ideal for training aircraft, UAV control stations, and other tactical environments.

The DC PRO-2 features a David Clark M-2 dynamic microphone, engineered for enhanced noise cancellation and clear transmission in high-intensity environments. The flexible boom allows precise mic placement – typically within 1/8" of the lips – for optimal speech clarity and minimal background interference.

While the DC PRO-2 is designed for low-impedance military systems, it can technically operate in civilian aircraft if paired with an impedance-matching adapter that is suitable for the application. However, for most general aviation cockpits, David Clark’s PRO-X2 or H10-series headsets are better suited due to their standard GA impedance and plug configurations.

Comfort is a core feature of the DC PRO-2’s design. It weighs approximately 8.6 oz (244 g) and features ultra-soft, Dura-Stitched leatherette ear seals, a breathable head pad, and swivel-hinge stirrups that evenly distribute clamping pressure. This ensures all-day comfort during extended missions or training sessions.

The DC PRO-2 43106G-04 uses a U-174/U plug, the standard connection used across many military and helicopter communication systems. This durable connector ensures a secure and reliable link between the headset and the aircraft’s communication jack or intercom system.

The DC PRO-2 is a passive noise-attenuating headset, meaning it relies solely on its acoustic design for sound isolation – ideal for quieter cockpits. The DC PRO-X2, on the other hand, offers active noise reduction (ANR) and is designed for civilian or corporate pilots operating in noisier turbine environments. Both share the same lightweight alloy frame and ergonomic comfort features.

Yes. The DC PRO-2 features a collapsible design that allows the ear domes to fold inward for compact storage. It fits neatly into standard David Clark carrying cases or pilot bags, making transport and stowage easy when moving between aircraft or duty locations.

The independent dual volume controls enable pilots to adjust the audio levels separately for each earcup, tailoring the sound balance to individual hearing preferences or cockpit audio variations. This feature enhances situational awareness and comfort during multi-hour operations.

The DC PRO-2 operates at a low impedance of approximately 100 ohms (mono) for the earphones and 5 ohms for the microphone, matching the impedance of most military audio systems. It delivers a frequency response of 100 Hz to 15 kHz, providing clear, natural voice transmission and reception across typical communication ranges.

Absolutely! The headset features a lightweight alloy suspension system and ABS ear domes, both of which are engineered for rugged durability while minimizing overall weight. The design withstands temperature extremes from -4°F to 131°F (-20°C to 55°C), ensuring reliable operation in diverse climates and mission conditions.

The David Clark DC PRO-2 is accompanied by a one-year limited warranty, supported by the company’s industry-leading customer service. David Clark’s U.S.-based support network provides repair assistance, replacement parts, and expert technical guidance to ensure the headset continues to perform reliably in the field.

Yes. The DC PRO-2 is designed for easy maintenance, with replaceable ear seals, head pads, and microphones available directly from David Clark or authorized service centers. This modular construction extends the headset’s lifespan and ensures consistent performance over years of use.

The DC PRO-2 is tested for reliable operation across a broad temperature range of -4°F to 131°F (-20°C to 55°C), making it suitable for both arid and tropical environments. Its vented head pad and breathable materials help reduce heat buildup, maintaining pilot comfort even during missions in hot climates.

Its lightweight comfort, passive noise attenuation, and low-impedance compatibility make the DC PRO-2 ideal for flight training and UAV control applications. Pilots and operators benefit from clear, natural communication without the bulk or power requirements of ANR systems – an essential advantage in military and remotely piloted aircraft environments.
