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.
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 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.
