Otto Engineering V4-10995EBK Overview

Provide your operators with the industry s first fully modular tactical communications headset with NoizeBarrier TAC from Otto Engineering. This rugged black headset sports NoizeBarrier tech for consistent volume levels, protecting your hearing while also providing 360° spatial awareness thanks to mics built directly into the earcups.

The detachable electret condenser boom microphone offers noise-cancelling technology for active wind and background noise reduction, ensuring intelligible radio transmissions in loud environments. Controls are easily accessed via the left earcup (including five-level volume adjustment), each earcup features a low-profile design intended to avoid interference with shouldered firearms. With two AAA batteries, this headset provides up to 72 hours of talk time for long excursions in the field. The NoizeBarrier TAC includes two AAA batteries and a carry bag.

Tactical Design for Safety and Awareness

Noise dampening NoizeBarrier technology automatically reduces impulse noises with no clipping or shut-down of the situational awareness function. 360° sound localization detects the direction of potential threats with near certainty. The boom microphone can also be configured for left or right positioning depending on the preference of the user.

Supports Dual-Comm Systems

This headset allows the user to utilize up to two radios at once for dual-comm configurations. The hardwired cable features a TP-102 Nexus TRRS plug for immediate connections to most PTT systems.

Selectable signal separation allows dual-comm users to separate audio into left, right, or both ears. For a dual-downlead headset setup, users need to separately purchase a detachable cable, such as the V3-10907.

Please note that a PTT radio is not included with this headset.

Compliance and Standards

The NoizeBarrier TAC sports an IP68 rating, protecting the headphones from a wide range of harsh environmental conditions and allowing for water resistance up to 1 meter / 3.2 for up to 31 minutes. As a tactically oriented headset, this system also fully meets MIL-STD-810G specifications as well. This headset is also TAA, BAA, and Berry Amendment compliant, and each headset is designed, manufactured, and engineered in the USA.

Optional Rail-Mount Kit

An optional rail-mount kit allows the user to easily convert the headset from over-the-head style to top or rear rail mount in the field without tools. This makes the headset compatible with major helmet systems including Ops-Core and Team Wendy.
