RA180 Crewgard Headset

 

Overview

RA180 Crewgard

The RA180 was originally designed for the British Army's Challenger II and continues to offer class leading attenuation through a combination of Passive and Active Noise Reduction (ANR)

 

Key Features

  • High noise attenuation, circa 35 dB with ANR
  • Talk-Through
  • Choice of electret or dynamic noise cancelling micophones
  • Immunity from radiated EMC fields up to 50V/m
  • New, improved comfort earcushions for 2007
  • Retrofitable digital ANR (coming in 2008)

 

Benefits

Excellent speech intelligibility and hearing protection are assured through the combination of passive and active noise reduction, while new earcushion materials mean that they are less prone to 'work hardening' and hence remain comfortable when worn for long periods of time.

 

Technology insertion in the form of retrofittable, digital ANR  means that users will benefit from a whole host of new features such as built in test, which will extend the headset's service life and lead to reduced whole life costs.

 

Applications

Crewgard's excellent noise attention is suitable for tracked Combat Vehicle Crew or fast-jet Ground Crew or indeed any high-noise application where a close fitting ballistic helmet is not required.
