Lite-Com Plus hearing protector with a built-in radio

3M has extended its active hearing communications product line with the introduction of 3M Peltor Lite-Com Plus Two-Way radio headsets.

Lite-Com Plus is a high-performance hearing protector with a built-in communication radio for cable-free, short-range communication with other Peltor Lite-Com headsets and portable two-way radios programmed on the same frequency.

An external audio input allows for connecting to an external phone or portable two-way radio, regardless of frequency. The noise-cancelling speech microphone with VOX functionality enables hands-free communication in noisy environments.

3M Peltor has improved its previous Lite-Com III headset with new electronics, a more rugged design, an advanced voice-guided menu, a new lithium-ion rechargeable battery, extended multilevel menu with ‘submenu’, dynamic boom microphone, limiter function on external input and CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) of 38 channels, and DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) signalling of 83 channels.

The 3M Peltor Lite-Com Plus offers SLC80 of 31 dB for the head-band and helmet attached version and 30 dB for the neck-band version.
