The JMC Elite 801 Series Clamp-Less Helmet Headset is a specialized audio communication system designed for integration into most open-face or flip-front modular style helmets. This headset is engineered to provide superior on-highway audio performance, facilitating clear communication and audio enjoyment for motorcycle riders. Its primary function is to enable riders to connect to their motorcycle's audio system, allowing for features such as intercom communication, music playback, and GPS audio prompts, all while maintaining a secure and comfortable fit within the helmet.
A key feature of the JMC Elite 801 Series is its clamp-less mounting style. This design eliminates the need for external clamps, which can sometimes interfere with the helmet's aerodynamics or aesthetics. Instead, the headset components are integrated directly into the helmet's interior, offering a streamlined and low-profile installation. This method ensures that the headset remains securely in place without adding bulk or compromising the helmet's structural integrity. The installation process involves carefully positioning and securing the various components within the helmet's padding and shell, a task made straightforward by the provided instructions and universal mounting hardware.
The headset incorporates a miniature extra-high-output AeroMike® VI boom-style microphone. This microphone is specifically designed for clear voice transmission in noisy environments, such as those encountered on a motorcycle at highway speeds. Its boom design allows for precise positioning near the rider's mouth, optimizing sound capture and minimizing background noise. The microphone's high output ensures that the rider's voice is transmitted clearly and effectively, whether for intercom conversations with a passenger or fellow riders, or for voice commands to a connected audio system.
For audio output, the JMC Elite 801 Series features 40mm high-intensity helmet speakers. These speakers are engineered to deliver rich, clear sound quality, even at highway speeds where wind noise and engine sounds can be significant. The high-intensity design ensures that music, GPS directions, and communication audio are easily audible and enjoyable. The speakers are designed to fit comfortably within the helmet's speaker pockets, often secured with Velcro pads, allowing for optimal sound projection directly to the rider's ears without causing discomfort during long rides.
One of the most versatile aspects of this headset is its compatibility with a wide range of motorcycle audio systems. The JMC Elite 801 Series is designed to connect to virtually any factory-installed motorcycle audio system currently in existence, including popular systems found in Harley-Davidson Infotainment systems (1998-2023 models) and Honda GL-1800 Premium Audio systems. This broad compatibility is achieved through the use of interchangeable lower section hook-up cords, known as Z-Series cords. Riders can select the specific Z-Series cord that matches their motorcycle's audio system, ensuring a seamless and functional connection. This modular approach eliminates the need for multiple headsets for different motorcycles, offering convenience and cost-effectiveness.
The installation process is detailed and user-friendly, guiding the rider through each step from preparing the helmet to securing the components. It involves removing existing cheek-pads and inserts, marking and drilling a small hole for the main headset cable, and then carefully positioning and attaching the microphone and speakers. The use of pre-gummed Velcro pads simplifies the attachment of speakers and the boom-mike assembly, ensuring a firm hold. The instructions emphasize attention to detail, particularly in routing wires discreetly under padding to maintain comfort and a clean appearance. A supplied wooden tool aids in tucking wires out of sight, contributing to a professional finish.
Maintenance of the JMC Elite 801 Series headset primarily involves ensuring proper installation and care of the components. The robust design and quality materials contribute to its durability.
