Headsets for Motorcycle Applications: Prospects in Mass. and Utah Evaluate TEA's Invisio Bone Mic
Prospects in Massachusetts and Utah recently evaluated TEA's Invisio Bone Mic headset for motorcycle applications and reported the following:
REPORT - I evaluated the Invisio bone mic with our Motorola HT1000 portable radio on motorcycles over a period of 2 weeks. It performed beyond expectations.
The hand PTT switch RP7 allows motorcycle rider to transmit over radio without removing either hand from the motorcycle hand grip
Incoming communications were audible over the motorcycle engine's noise during operations traveling at speeds of up to 50MPH. v Incoming and outgoing transmissions are unaffected by engine noise, traffic or wind noise.
Because portable radios are belt mounted, was not necessary to un-plug when dismounting.

REPORT - Utah State Police
Utah State Police purchased the Invisio Bone mic for Motorcycle applications. The Invisio transmit and receive signals were judged more than satisfactory with bike operating up to 70mph. The Invisio technology defeats wind noise and motor noise.
