RA480 Fist Microphone
Overview
During
specific peacekeeping activities, in some high tempo operations and
in a number of other scenarios, a headset is not always the most
practical alternative.
In these situations, a rugged, reliable, lightweight Fist
Microphone with loudspeaker provides the ideal solution. Being an
easy to use, leaving the ear free and avoiding cables around the
neck, a fist microphone provides clear, conspicuous
communications.
Key Features
- Easy to use
- Reliable and rugged
- No headset or cables to the head
- Good quality communications
Benefits
The ears are not covered and there are no cables to the head so
natural situational awareness and head mobility is optimised.
Wearing a headset, in hot and humid conditions can be uncomfortable
over long periods and, if radio communication is relatively
infrequent, the fist microphone offers a practical alternative.
The RA480 Speaker/Microphone is proven to provide reliable
two-way communications with a wide range of hand
portable PRR radios.
Applications
Where soldiers are operating in a peacekeeping role, a military
headset can be imposing, while a fist microphone maintains
communication in a less intrusive way.
Equally, in certain high tempo operations where situational
awareness is important and natural communication is preferred, the
fist microphone provides a convenient and handy method for
maintaining radio contact.
The RA480 can be used, in certain situations, to show that the
user is part of a team and in contact with back-up or support
resources. At close proximity, a third party can hear incoming
messages which may prove useful in situations where language is a
barrier or more than one party need to receive instructions or
messages.
