TEA Headsets Announces Distribution Agreement with Peltor

Thursday, January 3rd, 2013

Some pretty cool news from TEA Headsets. With this new distribution agreement with Peltor, TEA now offers one of the most popular communications headsets on the market; the ComTac series.

TEA Headsets is expanding their product line to now include Peltor ComTac Series Headsets.

The addition of Peltor will help strengthen TEA’s product line up and also add value to their existing customer base for their tactical comm product needs. Recently TEA launched new versions of their Tactical U94 Push-to-Talk Switches that compliments Peltor ComTac Headsets.

The ComTac III ACH headset is the third generation of ComTac Tactical Communication Headsets designed to meet the mission needs of today’s warfighter. ComTac now offers gel ear cushions for improved comfort, choice of boom mic location for both left and right shooters, increased RF immunity for high EMI environments, salt-water resistance and Rx/Tx fail-safe. Its ear cup profile has been improved, providing better fit and improved comfort for a variety of tactical helmets used by military and law enforcement professionals, including the Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) or MICH Helmet. The tactical headset features external microphones for “talk-thru” capability so today’s warfighter can maintain situational awareness while wearing reliable hearing protection.

The new ComTac III ARC configuration is for use with the Ops-Core FAST Helmet. The integrated solution addresses the challenges associated with donning and doffing of the helmet, eliminates “hot spots” and reduces the need to modify the internal padding of the helmet for proper fitting. The system utilizes 3M’s mounting mechanism, which connects the headset to the helmet Accessory Rail Connector.

New Bose T5 Tactical Headset

Thursday, November 29th, 2012

Bose introduced the new T5 Tactical Headset at AUSA.

Designed to fit under a variety of combat helmets, the new T5 is engineered to double the amount of time users can be exposed to tactical vehicle noise safely, compared to previous Bose models by leveraging over 30 years of noise cancellation technology. The T5 offers continuous and impulse noise reduction. It monitors sound inside the earcup and creates a correction signal to fade background distractions allowing the wearer to hear more radio comms without having to turn up the volume. The noise cancellation turns on automatically when connected to a powered intercom, and for dismounted operations away from the vehicle, a new battery power feature uses a simple on/off switch.

A cable-mounted control module sets the volume and permits ambient sound to be heard at three different listening levels without taking off the headset. An integrated push-to-talk switch activates voice communication through the noise-cancelling microphone, and an on-and-off switch offers intercom, listening-only setting or radio communication setting.

Available in single or dual comm versions, the dual comm variant offers smart audio distribution, which distributes audio automatically to the earcups according to the connected sources. In the most common use cases, the primary source (vehicle intercom and radio) is in both ears while the portable radio is present at a slightly lower volume in the left ear. When the control module is connected to two portable radios, the signals are split with one radio in the left earcup and one radio in the right.

McChrystal Group – Transparency Through Constant Communication

Wednesday, November 28th, 2012

Although I never served with him, I remember CSM Michael Hall from his time as the Command Sergeant Major of USASOC and JSOC and since his retirement we’ve spoken several times as he’s worked with various defense contractors such as Colt. He’s a very personable guy and when he’s talking I want to listen. That’s why I wanted to share a post he authored for McChrystal Group’s blog. It’s entitled, “Transparency Through Constant Communication.” The article centers around this concept, “Does my boss, and two levels below me know the same things that I know at the same time I do?”

CSM Hall goes into why this is so important and gives the reader a few helpful guidelines on how to become a more effective communicator. Read the whole post at mcchrystalgroup.com/content/transparency-through-constant-communication-0.

Thanks DF for pointing this out!

MATBOCK PTT Clamp

Monday, November 26th, 2012

Generally, members of SOF units are only issued one or two Push-to-Talks (PTTs) that have to be interchanged between three or four different sets of kit. On top of this you also have to deal with different camo patterns. And then, there’s the actual mounting based on operational preferences and unit SOP. Some guys like to wear their PTTs on the right or left side, some times with the buttons facing out and some times with the buttons facing in. Standard PTT clips don’t allow for all these variations nor do they make it easy to interchange the PTTs between different carriers so most guys end up with zip ties or rubber bands to get what you need out of their PTT.

MATBOCK’s patent pending “PTT Clamp” addresses these problems that confront one of the most important parts of combat, communication. The PTT Clamp was designed so that users can mount a clamp to every carrier, either by Velcro or MOLLE. The PTT Clamps are prepositioned on each carrier to eliminate tinkering with gear, allowing the Operator to simply and securely fit the Push-To-Talks into the Clamp on each set of gear and route the wires.

The Nexus PTT is very popular throughout a lot of SOF units, but these PTTs are prone to being inadvertently depressed. Consequently, MATBOCK designed the PTT Clamp – Nexus model with an “anti-hot mic” cage that will significantly reduce the chance for button being depressed.

Made in the USA, Hydrographic Kydex is available in Desert Digital, Woodland Digital and MultiCam.

Be advised orders will not ship until 15 Dec while MATBOCK builds inventory. However, they wanted to ensure this product was out before the end of November so customers could receive their exclusive Soldier Systems 10% discount. The 10% discount (code SSD10) will expire at 0001 EST Dec 1st 2012.

In addition to providing headsets TEA also offers a wide variety of tactical and discrete push-to-talk switches that enables users to easily key up and communicate in applications ranging from high altitude jumps to submerged maritime operations.

The ruggedized single radio U94 Push-to-Talk has quickly become a favorite among military and law enforcement personnel because of its adaptability to work with practically any radio or headset.

TEA offers a special H2O boot that seals around Peltor Headset connectors making it perfect for RQS Units, Fast Boat Teams and when fording the occasional stream or river. This added feature is available on any U94 PTT. I checked this out at AUSA and It’s pretty slick. Click here for more info.

Tactical U94 Push-to-Talk

Single radio versions of the U94 PTT, includes an option WPC collar that helps prevent hot mic/accidental radio keys. You can also get this version with an optional auxiliary input for secondary remote/sniper or HALO switches. Click here for more info.

Dual U94 Push-to-Talk

Dual-Com versions of the U94 PTT can be configured to control multiple 2-way radios, a single Dual-Net radio like the new PRC 154 or a single 2-way radio with an ICS connector (vehicle, aircraft or watercraft intercom system). Click here for more info.

Submersible U94 Push-to-Talks

Single and Dual Radio submersible versions are also available for the maritime versions of the PRC 148 (10-pin) and PRC 152 (6-pin) as well as other common submersible radios. The single radio version includes an oversized transmit button that makes it easy to use with bulky gloves on. Click here for more info.
