Next-Gen Wireless Connectivity
One standout feature is the ComTac VII’s wireless compatibility with the 3M PELTOR System Control Unit (SCU-300).
By integrating Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI) technology, the headset eliminates cables, minimizing snagging risks and streamlining gear management.
Short-Range Communication Simplified
The Natural Interaction Behavior (NIB) function enables headset-to-headset communication without requiring an external radio. This feature is especially useful in close-quarters operations, where quick, silent communication is critical.
Enhanced Situational Awareness
The Mission Audio Profiles (MAP) feature takes ambient listening to the next level by offering frequency-specific gain settings. This allows operators to adjust their audio profile to amplify or suppress specific sounds, improving situational awareness in dynamic environments.
Comfort and Compatibility
The new headband design is tailored for extended wear under ballistic helmets, prioritizing user comfort without compromising functionality.
Simplified Transitions
The ComTac VII introduces tool-free cable removal and redesigned arm guides, making it easier to switch between headband and helmet-mounted configurations.
This flexibility ensures operators can adapt their gear to mission-specific needs seamlessly.
Robust Microphone Design
The speech microphone has been redesigned with patented 3M closed-cell foam, offering improved noise cancellation and protection against wind, dust, and water. Rated at IP68, it can withstand submersion up to six meters for 30 minutes.
Battery and Environmental Microphones
A watertight battery compartment eliminates the need for tools during battery changes, while upgraded environmental microphones provide clearer sound pickup with enhanced wind screening. These changes underscore 3M’s focus on durability and usability.
Optional Wired Connection
For operators who prefer or require a wired setup, the headset features an optional port for a backup connection to the SCU-300. This versatility ensures reliable communication under any conditions.
