The 3M™ PELTOR™ ComTac™ VIII Headset helps protect your hearing and can help promote auditory situational awareness and communications in challenging environments. Some versions are equipped with a downlead cable for connection to a radio via a push-to-talk (PTT), and a noise cancelling speech microphone for communication in noise.
The Next Generation Tactical Headset Platform
The 3M™ PELTOR™ ComTac™ VIII brings forward our next generation tactical communication and hearing protection headset platform with updated looks, improved systems integration, and auditory situational awareness to help give operators a tactical edge during operations. Earcups, headband and microphone attachment have been completely redesigned to help promote attenuation, comfort, and overall ease of use for the operator.
Environmental Listening for Auditory Situational Awareness
The environmental listening feature, also known as “talk-through”, is a means of allowing safe audio sounds to bypass the individual hearing protection electronically while still helping protect against harmful noises. A microphone receives the sounds outside of the headset and transmits them to a speaker inside of the headset. The level-dependent digital audio circuit senses noise levels above the desired threshold and compresses them to a safe decibel level or amplifies weak sounds to an audible level. The ComTac™ VIII features our latest environmental microphones which are positioned in a wider and deeper parabolic design.
Mission Audio Profiles (MAP)
ComTac™ VIII offers a way to adjust the auditory settings of your headset for your mission. Traditionally, a headset has a set frequency response, and the operator can only increase or decrease the volume. The MAP function provides advanced ambient listening modes that allow access to a variety of gain settings, but with frequency shaping, to enhance auditory performance in five conditions. The MAP Profiles have been designed with a variety of combat and combat support operations in mind.
Hearing Protection & Ear Plug Mode
In critical situations, noise levels can be so high that they cause immediate, permanent damage to your hearing if proper protection is not worn. ComTac™ VIII helps provide hearing protection and can also be worn in combination with earplugs, to help provide additional protection if required. In ear plug mode, it is possible to maintain a degree of auditory situational awareness, as the headset volume is boosted to help compensate for the additional attenuation provided by the ear plug.
Mission Critical Communications
Communications play a vital role in modern military operations. The ability to communicate is critical to react, coordinate and respond effectively. ComTac™ VIII features soundscape to help promote speech intelligibility in noise. Soundscape enables automatic changes to product settings dependent on the user environment.
External communications and environmental listening functions are independent for Rx/Tx fail safe; in the event of electronic failure or battery depletion, external device communications will continue to function.
