Tuning your Helmet Headset:
To achieve optimum listening frequency levels, all communication head sets need to be
set to different levels of base and treble depending upon personal preferences and
manufacturers specifications. Reception and transmission clarity can be affected by the
specific motorcycle model and brand as well as any aftermarket accessories installed on
the motorcycle such as electronics or windshields.
Microphone positioning is key to achieving loud and clear transmissions. The
microphone has an important reception point. Not using this point will reduce sound
dramatically. Center the microphone against your lips, and speak though the microphone
as if you are talking to someone standing 10-20 feet away. While listening to your
headset you will be able to determine where it sounds the clearest. It is very important
that the helmet headset be adjusted properly to your personal listening comfort level.
1. Adjust the base setting and treble setting so the speakers meet your personal
listening requirements.
2. Adjust the intercom volume so you can clearly hear yourself through the
speakers. How loud or soft your voice is in the speakers is entirely up to you.
3. Adjust the shunt volume, or the loudness setting that activates your microphone.
The microphone should activate with your voice and not wind noise.
Installing and Using the Microphone Windsock Protector:
Our supplemental Microphone Windsock Protector is designed to reduce the wind noise
that your microphone picks up and sends to the driver or passenger and ensures better
voice quality. It will help keep your automatic volume control (AVC) from making your
radio go up and down by itself due to wind noise.
To install the supplemental Windsock Protector, simply slip it over the microphone and
foam windsock. Secure the cover by tightening the elastic cord and tying a knot to
prevent loosening.
