Atlantic Signal and its predecessor - New Eagle - have been designing, developing and manufacturing bone conduction tactical headsets since 1989. Unlike our competitors, we are not a distributor of bone conduction headsets from some far away foreign country - we are the manufacturer! Our headsets are not available "off-the-shelf" for immediate shipment. Rather, every headset is custom manufactured according to your operational requirements. We don't utilize inexpensive and unreliable components nor do we manufacture products for call centers, cell phones or mass merchandisers. Our products are designed, developed and manufactured for one use - tactical operations - by both law enforcement and military operators.

MH3 Tactical Headset

The MH3 Tactical Headset was the first, and remains, the world's only fully adjustable tactical bone conduction headset. The MH3 provides an operator the ability to adjust the headset both horizontally and vertically, adjustment of the overall radius of the rear head frame and transducer side piece positioning – assuring a custom, personal fit. To attain additional stability, a fully adjustable nylon and Velcro head strap is included.

Prior to the development of the MH3, the majority of tactical headsets available on the market were of the ‘one-size-fits-all’ variety and few properly fit anyone. Operators were forced to choose the headset that fit ‘best’ rather than the one that fit ‘right’. The MH3 changed the landscape of how tactical operators thought of tactical headsets, particularly bone conduction models.

Bone conduction technology (receiving radio communications through the facial bones rather than the ear canal) affords the tactical operator the advantage of having no speaker hardware in, on or over either ear - allowing 360 degrees of unobstructed auditory situational awareness. The audio transducer(s), located inside the headset housing(s), are positioned in front of the ears. Incoming radio transmissions are transferred to the transducer(s), then through the temporal bones of the face and received in the inner ear.

When hearing protection is desired, while wearing the MH3, an operator can simultaneously use various forms of electronic or inert forms of hearing protection. By utilizing one of these forms of protection, the operator has the personal operational advantage of choosing when and when not to employ hearing protection without sacrificing the ability to maintain crucial radio communications. Following nearly 18 months of field tests and evaluations, Atlantic Signal recommends the Aearo/Peltor branded Combat Arms Earplugs as the inert form of hearing protection and either Sordin or Peltor for electronic protection (see the hearing protection link on this site for further details). Peltor/Aearo and Sordin are the two most widely known and respected tactical hearing protection providers in the world.		  
 
       
 
       

The MH3 can be customized for each individual operator including: a choice of single or dual bone conductors for RX, custom cable lengths, multiple body/finger/weapon mount push-to-talk switches, inline quick disconnects, remote radio volume control, breathing apparatus adapter kits and more.
