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.

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 |
|
|
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.
