The N-Com B901 X Series is a communication system designed for integration into Nolan and X-Lite helmets, enhancing the riding experience with advanced audio and communication functionalities.
Function Description:
The B901 system enables Bluetooth communication with other N-Com systems, mobile phones, GPS devices, and MP3 players. It supports one-to-one intercom communication up to a maximum distance of 300 meters in open field conditions, with range varying based on helmet model (e.g., carbon fiber helmets may reduce range). The system also features a "Smart Conference" function for group intercom communication among up to four "900" series N-Com systems.
For mobile phone integration, the B901 allows users to answer calls (including a vocal answer option), make voice calls, hang up/reject calls, and manually connect to a paired phone. It includes a Speed Dial function, allowing storage of up to three favorite numbers for quick dialing. A phone conference call function enables sharing mobile phone calls with other helmets in an intercom connection.
The system supports music playback from Bluetooth-connected devices (A2DP Sharing) and via cable. Users can play, pause, skip tracks (forward/rewind), and share music with other intercom users. An integrated FM radio allows listening to radio stations, with functions for turning on/off, automatic search for new stations, and changing pre-set stations.
The B901 incorporates a "VOX" function for voice-activated intercom switching, which can be enabled/disabled and sensitivity adjusted via the N-Com EASYSET program or App. An "Audio Boost" feature is available to increase the volume of all audio sources. The system can be managed and configured using the "N-Com EASYSET" application for PC or the dedicated N-Com EASYSET App for smartphones (Google Play and Apple Store). Firmware updates are also available through the website.
