3.6
Analog Audio Interface
AHS3-US has an analog audio interface with a balanced analog microphone input and a bal-
anced analog earpiece output. A supply voltage and an analog ground connection are provided 
at dedicated pins.
AHS3-US offers six audio modes which can be selected with the AT^SNFS command. The 
electrical characteristics of the voiceband part vary with the audio mode. For example, sending 
and receiving amplification, sidetone paths, noise suppression etc. depend on the selected 
mode and can be altered with AT commands (except for mode 1).
When shipped from factory, all audio parameters of AHS3-US are set to audio mode 1. This is 
the default configuration optimised for the Votronic HH-SI-30.3/V1.1/0 handset and used for 
type approving the Cinterion Wireless Modules reference configuration. Audio mode 1 has fix 
parameters which cannot be modified. To adjust the settings of the Votronic handset simply 
change to another audio mode.

Pulse Code Modulation Interface (PCM)
AHS3-US’s PCM interface can be used to connect audio devices capable of pulse code mod-
ulation.
