Listens to what you want to hear
Peltor ComTac improves communication and safety
Being able to communicate with your surroundings whilst at the same time being protected from harmful noise levels is a vital necessity in the military, both for exercises and battle situations. Noise levels are often so high that they can cause immediate, permanent damage to your hearing if protection is not worn. At the same time, communication is a must. Orders and information must be heard, both
over the radio and directly person to person. The Peltor ComTac is designed
for just these con-
ditions. The ComTac is also specially designed to be worn comfortably under a
helmet, be used with different kinds of weapons without being in the way, and
at the same time protect effectively against harmful noise levels.
The ComTac is a “hearing” hearing protector; it picks up and amplifies ambient sounds. A radio can be connected to an audio input for external communication and a microphone arm can be attached for complete headset function.
A “hearing” hearing protector The Peltor ComTac is an active-volume hearing
protector, which means that it lets you hear ambient sounds. The conveniently
located volume control lets you adjust amplification so that you can hear soft
sounds much better than you could without the hearing protector. Two
microphones pick up ambient noises and reproduce them in stereo so you can
hear from which direction the noise is coming from.
Any sudden impulse noise that exceeds harmful levels is immediately
attenuated. An electronic valve detects the noise level and attenuates it to a
harmless level. When the noise fades, ComTac returns instantly to its
listening function.
Reliable communication The standard model Peltor ComTac is equipped with an
audio input for connecting an external radio. The systems for external
communication and active volume work independently of one another, which
provides extra high reliability and increased
safety. Even if the ComTac is switched off, it can receive external radio
signals. A microphone arm can be mounted and connected with a simple
manoeuvre, making the ComTac a complete headset for two-way communication.
Highest possible comfort and convenience The Peltor ComTac is carefully
designed for the soldier’s environment and to be worn all day without
inconveniencing the wearer. The cups are designed to fit under a helmet and to
be used with different types of weapons without being in the way. The controls
are well protected, yet easily accessible, even with gloves on.
Peltor’s well-known concept of individually sprung steel bands ensures an
ideal pressure around the entire ear, guaranteeing excellent attenuation
properties and high comfort. The headband is leather covered and collapsible
for comfort and easy storage.

Sharpens your senses
when it matters most
We all know that a soldier’s senses have to be sharp to enable him to perform
his missions successfully. Hearing is as critical as vision in both darkness
and daylight. He needs to be able to hear incoming radio signals without the
risk of revealing his location, he needs to be able to hear and locate a
snappping twig or a whispering comrade, and be able to communicate unhindered
over the radio, even in a deafening battle…
All of these are situations where hearing is critical to success. In battle,
on reconnaissance missions or at your post, Peltor ComTac sharpens your
hearing.
