A microphone receives the sounds outside of the headset and transmits them to a speaker inside the headset. The level-dependent digital audio circuit senses noise levels above the desired threshold and compresses them to a safe decibel level or amplifies weak sounds to an audible level. The ComTac™ VIII features our latest environmental microphones which are positioned in a wider and deeper parabolic design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1431\" data-start=\"1399\" data-section-id=\"1wvp2pl\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMission Audio Profiles (MAP):\u003c\/strong\u003e ComTac™ VIII offers a way to adjust the auditory settings of your headset for your mission. Traditionally, a headset has a set frequency response, and the operator can only increase or decrease the volume. The MAP function provides advanced ambient listening modes that allow access to a variety of gain settings, but with frequency shaping, to enhance auditory performance in five conditions. The MAP Profiles have been designed with a variety of combat and combat support operations in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1966\" data-start=\"1928\" data-section-id=\"1j8j3eu\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHearing Protection \u0026amp; Ear Plug Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e In critical situations, noise levels can be so high that they cause immediate, permanent damage to your hearing if proper protection is not worn. ComTac™ VIII helps provide hearing protection and can also be worn in combination with earplugs to help provide additional protection if required. In ear plug mode, it is possible to maintain a degree of auditory situational awareness, as the headset volume is boosted to help compensate for the additional attenuation provided by the ear plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"8knjfe\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"33\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttenuation Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"kdah7l\" data-start=\"34\" data-end=\"92\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudio Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Environmental Listening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"vow205\" data-start=\"93\" data-end=\"131\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 50 Hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"4qmfbo\" data-start=\"132\" data-end=\"186\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Disposable AAA, Rechargeable AAA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"163pxtx\" data-start=\"187\" data-end=\"208\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"19czmjf\" data-start=\"209\" data-end=\"231\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e PELTOR™\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"tzuowg\" data-start=\"232\" data-end=\"271\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In FM and\/or AM Radio:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1dw2fmm\" data-start=\"272\" data-end=\"304\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In 2-Way Radio:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1hebzb0\" data-start=\"305\" data-end=\"330\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1kenj1j\" data-start=\"362\" data-end=\"409\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHearing Protection Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Over-the-Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"lfggat\" data-start=\"410\" data-end=\"440\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntrinsically Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ggd0xb\" data-start=\"441\" data-end=\"500\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel-Dependent Function for Ambient Listening:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ti5cmw\" data-start=\"501\" data-end=\"539\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone Class\/Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"76aqmm\" data-start=\"540\" data-end=\"578\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNoise-Attenuating Headset:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1xrdupd\" data-start=\"579\" data-end=\"618\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey, O.D.
