Cardo Systems has officially integrated their comm system into a new helmet called the “Mach V Commander.”
Created in partnership with 509, this techy lid’s in-helmet audio and microphone can purportedly carry connectivity of up to 15 users – a perk that certainly carries over Cardo’s reputation for also creating the “world’s first motorcycle Bluetooth-based wireless intercom headset in 2004” (Cardo).
Here are the key features of Cardo X 509’s new Mac V Commander, according to the press release:
Group Communication |
| With Cardo Communication System, riders can stay connected with up to 14 fellow riders within a range of up to 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) through mesh connectivity or connect via Bluetooth® for music, phone, or map capabilities. |
Superior Audio Quality |
| The integrated Cardo Communication System ensures crystal-clear sound, with JBL speakers and PSI (Pressurized Sound Isolation) earmuff system for isolation, passive noise canceling, and custom fit. |
Voice Command and Hands-Free Operation |
| Riders can keep their hands on the handlebars and their focus on the road, as the Mach V Commander Helmet supports voice commands for seamless operation, making communication effortless and intuitive. |
Enhanced Safety and Comfort |
| The Mach V Commander Helmet incorporates the safety performance features motorsports riders have come to expect from 509, an impact-resistant visor, controllable chase light, Fidlock® Magnetic Chinstrap, and excellent moisture control with the patent-pending Venturi Venting System. |
Naturally, nobody is more pleased to offer this integrated lid than the VP of Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) at Cardo Systems and the Global Product Director at 509:
