Headset Connectors

The headset connectors are mini din shrouded plugs and sockets, these provide a light weight, weather proof connection with a safety quick release action. The plugs and sockets have a large easily seen location silver on black arrow to make connection easy.

Headset Speakers

The Speakers used for all Tecstar headsets are no ordinary speakers, the speaker itself is special providing a class leading frequency response, power output and compact size. This results in a comfortable fit helmet speaker that provides an impressive bass response making for excellent stereo audio quality and clear and natural speech. The output power allows for loud music and speech through ear plugs and the helmet lining.
Dimensions: Speaker unit: dia=30mm depth=7mm. Cover dia=60mm total depth=8mm

The speaker can be fitted in a number of ways to best suit your helmet. The Velcro pad can be stuck to the helmet lining, the speaker cover can velcored directly to the helmet lining, the speaker and cover can be positioned behind the lining or the speaker alone can be positioned inside or behind the lining. Some helmets have recesses, which the cover can be pressed in, some have pockets to fit speakers.

Headset Microphones

 

SH-006 Boom Mic

The microphone is critical to the performance of a helmet system, it must only pick up speech directly in front and close to it. The potential high levels of background noise, wind noise and vibration can make speech impossible if the microphone were to pick up these noises. The Tecstar microphone has been carefully designed to be virtually immune to vibration and virtually deaf to wind and background noises. The microphone design is common to SH-004, SH-006 and SH-010 head sets. Even used totally unprotected with open face helmets and no fairing communication is perfectly possible at very high speeds.  The SH-004 kits has a dome mic which is fix with a velcro disc into the chin guard of the helmet directly in front of the mouth. The SH-006 and SH-010 kits have the mic on a stiff boom allowing the position to be adjusted again to directly in front of the users mouth.

Flip front Helmets 

The choice of headset for a flip front helmet is dependant on your requirements either SH-004 or SH-006 are suitable with the following considerations:
Flip Front using SH-004:
Pros: The microphone will be positioned precisely when the front is flipped down, every time. When the flip is lifted the microphone is also moved away from your mouth.
Cons: The microphone cannot be used while the helmet front is lifted. The microphone wiring needs to be fitted around the flip hinge. 
Flip Front using SH-006:
Pros:  The microphone can be used while the helmet front is lifted. Wiring is simple.
Cons: The microphone boom may be knocked when closing the helmet flip and may need to be adjusted each time.
 
Either headset will perform extremely well with flip helmets, the choice if mostly of practicality. To date around 75% of customers have chosen the SH-004, we offer a free exchange if you encounter problems or are unhappy with your choice.

Full Face Headset SH-004

The SH-004 kits has a dome mic which is fixed with a velcro disc into the chin guard of the helmet directly in front of the mouth. The headset is supplied with stereo speakers.
