• Coyote Brown Finish: Professional tactical appearance suitable for desert and arid operations

Neckband Advantage

The neckband configuration provides a low-profile design that's ideal for operators wearing helmets or requiring extended wear comfort. Unlike traditional headbands, the neckband sits comfortably around the neck and behind the head, eliminating pressure points on the top of the head and providing seamless integration with helmets, caps, and other headgear. This makes it perfect for military, law enforcement, and tactical operations where helmet compatibility is essential.

Dual Comm Advantage

The dual lead configuration allows you to connect to two separate radio systems simultaneously—perfect for operations requiring coordination across multiple communication networks. Whether you're managing tactical operations on one channel while monitoring command on another, or coordinating between ground and air units, the ComTac V Dual Comm delivers seamless multi-channel communication.

Advanced Audio Customization Features

3M has updated the software to allow users to easily access the audio customization features the ComTac platform offers:

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 for optimal operational performance.

Release Time

The release time setting adjusts the time before the limiter opens after activation. The default setting is optimized for combat operations, while extended delays may be more suitable for indoor firearms training.

Volume Boost (Ear-Plug Mode)

In applications where double hearing protection is required, the volume boost function increases the volumes of ambient sound and the external input by about 6dB. Use only when a properly fitted ear-plug is used under the headset.

Equalizer Function

The ComTac V's equalizer function further adjusts the preset frequency setting—optimized for combat operations. In other types of operations where steady-state noise may be present (ground vehicles, airborne platforms), this function helps improve the signal-to-noise ratio by reducing the low frequencies.

Superior Audio Technology

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.

MT33 Boom Microphone - 3x Better Noise Cancellation

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 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 at 1kHz.

Enhanced Durability & Compatibility

3M has replaced the leather headband with a modern rubberized neckband that is easy to remove if the user wants to convert to ARC adapters. This neckband 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 to the effects of the new radio systems. The ComTac V utilizes U-174 plug and will connect directly into your existing push-to-talk radio adapter connection.
