Communication Devices for Helmets Question

Communication Devices for Helmets Question:

Has anyone used any type of in helmet communication device on the track? I have some hearing loss and would love to be able to hear the instructor more clearly in my car while getting instruction on the tract. If so, What type and who would install the system.

Contact Sean Roe. He uses a communication device for in car instruction. It is just the thing you want.

I use the Nady PMC-2 when I instruct students. It makes it much easier to understand each other in a noisy car. This model was made for motorcycle riders who are on the same bike, but it works great in the car also. You just jam the mic/earphone into the side of your helmet.

Jay, Thanks for wed site. That blue box looks like what Sean Roe is/was using. Not sure which model. But it was one wired to the head sets.

The Nady intercoms work great. Here's a link to where I bought mine. This is the lowest price I could find on them. Most are $99 and up.

I have had two Nady systems and both had the same problem with the headsets not working after some time. Does anyone know another brand?

NADY PMC-2 for our club.

I used to use an open face helmet when teaching Novices, so they could hear me, un-muffled.

Safety First, so now I (usually) use full-face helmet and the wired communicators. Be sure to have the novice set their volume high enuf BEFORE entering the track, so they are not adjusting themselves off the track.

Bruce what are the prices?? Model Numbers? Where to buy, Viper Days?

Hello,

I used the chatterbox, also commonly used for motorcycles. It works just great, but it is wired. I just shoved the junction box into the glove box, could also have attached it to myself. Installation in the helmet took about 2 minutes with velcro and stickies. I used them so for Driver-->navigator communication during the silver state classic.. If I had only used that in the first race, when the roof was not on... Talk about noisy....

just search for chatterbox intercom, don't forget to get the headsets and an extention cord. I think the entire system was about $80.00.

(I think this is where I got it...) http://www.accessoryinternational.com/chatterbox.html

Obviously not to useful for talk to somebody not in the car.
