3M™
PELTOR™ ComTac™ V has Omni-directional microphones and high fidelity
speakers that are optimized to transmit voice communication and can pick
up sounds with great sensitivity with an excellent signal-to-noise
ratio for clear and accurate sound replication. The result is a more
natural sounding headset with unmatched sound clarity.
In
addition to the environmental microphones, the legacy boom mic (for
external radio transmissions has been replaced with the MT33. This boom
greatly improves the audio transmit in various noise conditions. The
main, critical improvement to the MT33 provides is its noise
cancellation performance. The MT33 provides 18db in noise cancellation
vs the legacy microphone, which provided 6db in noise cancellation –
measured at 10mm distance, normalized for 0db a 1khz. 3M has replaced
the leather headband, for a modern rubberized band that is easy to
remove if the user wants to convert to ARC adapters (or convert back to a
headband). This headband has increased environmental resistance to
heavy maritime environments. Some users are fielding new, multi-channel
software defined radios. The power output, waveforms, and encryption
these radios are exhibiting have caused 3M to increase the overall
immunity to Radio Frequency (RF) susceptibility and Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) in its COMTAC platform. 3M has implemented shielding
within the cables and around the circuitry to help ensure the headset
will be immune the effects of the new radio systems. The ComTac 5
utilizes U-174 plug, and will connect directly into your existing
push-to-talk radio adapter Connection.
3M has updated the
software to allow users to easily access the audio customization
features the ComTac platform offers, such as:
Balance Mode
Adjusts the environmental listening function volume balance between the
left and right speaker giving the operator the ability to prioritize
audio or adjust to their own personal preference
Release Time The
release time setting adjusts the time before the limiter opens after
activation. The default setting is optimized for combat operations. The
extended delays may be more suitable for in-door fire arms training
Volume
Boost In applications where double hearing protection is required, the
volume boost function, (aka: ear-plug mode) increases the volumes of
ambient sound and the external input by about 6dB. It is to be used only
when a properly fitted ear-plug is used under the headset.
Equalizer
Function CT5’s equalizer function further adjusts the preset frequency
setting – which has been optimized for combat operations.
In
other types of operations, where steady-state may be present (i.e.
ground vehicle and airborne platforms) this function helps improve the
signal-to-noise ratio by reducing the low frequencies.
