The MH180-H Tactical Headset System is the first and only tactical bone vibration headset on the market, featuring a stainless steel frame, on a horizontal plane, allowing an operator the choice of having the upper headset custom manufactured with the waterproof/noise canceling microphone on the left or right side of the face, when positioned on the head. This unique feature provides an operator the opportunity to utilize the advantages associated with a boom microphone, while having the microphone installed on the opposite side of the face, away from the stock of a weapon – assuring an unobstructed and secure cheek weld.
Some of the newer law enforcement and military helmets provide limited access for an accessory such as a headset -- the MH180-H was designed to allow for helmet and protective eyewear clearance with just such helmets. In addition, some helmet suspensions are rigid, with little give or play to allow for the clearance necessary for integration with our MH180 or MH180-S Tactical Headset System vertical frame designs. The MH180-H, utilizing a horizontal frame (encircling the back of the head / nape of the neck), eliminates the possible discomfort associated with utilizing a headset with a vertical frame (over the top of the head) under a helmet with a rigid or non-adjustable inner suspension.
An adjustable, vertical, nylon, Velcro strap is an additional feature of the
MH180-H, providing the operator the ability to properly position the
MH180-H sidepiece housings, containing the bone vibrators, by raising or lowering the frame of the MH180-H. The strap adjustment is made on the top of the head, rather than on the sides, assuring that only minimal nylon material comes in contact with a helmet’s inner suspension system, avoiding the discomfort associated with straps found on many competing headsets.
Utilizing bone vibration transducer technology (receiving radio communications through the facial bones rather than the ear canal), the MH180-H affords the tactical operator the operational advantage of having NO speaker hardware in, on or over the ear(s) – allowing 360 degrees of unobstructed natural hearing of ambient auditory sounds. Radio transmissions are received through the transducer(s), transferred through the temporal bones of the face and received in the inner ear canal. The MH180-H Tactical Headset System can be ordered with single or dual transducers for receiving. Generally, tactical law enforcement teams (SWAT) choose a single transducer system for reception while military clientele choose a dual transducer system due to their probability of needing to communicate in higher ambient noise environments.
The MH180-H’s submersible, (1m) noise canceling, microphone provides the operator the advantage of being able to cancel out competing noise in his operating environment when transmitting. When the push-to-talk button is activated, the finely tuned MH Series microphone effectively cancels out competing environmental noise while transmitting clearly and concisely.
A wide variety of push-to-talk assemblies provide a choice for specialized needs. For instance, a WMD team – wearing Level A suits – has very different needs for a PTT system than that of a SWAT operator. The bulky and confining design of a Level A suit/gloves does not allow for easy access to the smaller style PTT buttons normally chosen by tactical law enforcement and military operatives. Rather than force our clients to choose from only one or two PTT designs – we currently offer 5 different systems plus 2 remote finger switches.
In the past it was believed that headsets incorporating a boom microphone could not be used effectively with gas masks or SCBAs. In many cases, depending upon the sensitivity of the microphone element and overall design of the boom arm, this was factual and teams were forced to use an in-the-ear or throat mounted microphone. The MH Series Custom Breathing Apparatus/Headset Adapter kits provide the tactical operator the ability to communicate clearly and effectively through a variety of breathing apparatus/masks while enjoying the advantages of a boom microphone headset system. One of our competitors, who represents both an in-the-ear bone microphone system manufactured in Denmark and throat-mikes manufactured in England, remarks - in an online video – …”you’ll never get a better quality of sound than that which you get with a boom microphone.” We concur – if the tactical headset features a high quality, noise-canceling element and rigid, articulated boom arm. All MH Series Tactical Headset Systems feature just such a microphone system. Owned and operated by personnel averaging over a decade’s worth of experience, per person, in the fields of law enforcement and military communications, we are very familiar with the specialized needs of our client base. We take great pride in being able to assist our clients with headset system recommendations, solutions and customization. We offer a FREE, 21 Day Field Trial to all interested law enforcement and military parties and encourage you to evaluate our MH Series systems against any and all competitors. Our Sales, Technical and Quality Control staffs are here to assist you with any and all questions you may have and we are confident you’ll find our levels of customer service and expertise to be outstanding.
