The next generation of 3M/Peltor communications headsets – ComTac VI – represents a major advancement in tactical audio technology. Trusted globally by law enforcement and military personnel, this headset integrates:
Mission-specific auditory awareness settings (MAP)
Adjustable-length noise-canceling boom microphone
Built-in wireless intercom communications
Atlantic Signal custom 5-conductor downlead cable with support for multiple push-to-talk (PTT) options
Unlike previous models, the ComTac VI features a fully integrated wireless intercom, eliminating the need for external intercom systems in vehicles, boats, or helicopters.
No need to disconnect from your PTT/radio when entering a vehicle or switching platforms.
No additional hardware or installation cost for intercom systems.
Enables short-range, headset-to-headset comms in high-noise environments.
Supports 4 team members speaking simultaneously and 60+ listeners within a 30 ft radius.
Voice-activated (VOX) or PTT-activated transmission
Adaptive VOX threshold adjusts to the surrounding noise.
A tactile button on the left earcup allows easy toggling between VOX and PTT or turning the intercom on/off.
The ComTac VI includes five mission-specific auditory profiles that adapt the headset’s ambient microphone behavior to fit different environments and reduce distractions.
Walking on gravel or high grass? Use a MAP profile to reduce unnecessary ambient noise.
Each profile preserves directional awareness while improving clarity.
This is a first-of-its-kind feature, providing frequency shaping through a two-button control pad directly on the headset.
The MT33 boom mic used in ComTac V remains, but the arm design is re-engineered with a tension-adjustable mechanism, allowing for:
User-defined microphone length
Precise placement (side or front of mouth)
Improved clarity and speech intelligibility
Eliminates cheek weld interference when using long weapons
The ComTac VI continues to deliver:
Level-dependent digital audio protection
Automatic noise compression for impulse/steady-state sounds
Amplification of weak ambient sounds to maintain full environmental awareness
The ComTac VI comes with:
Removable rubber sleeve covering the steel headband and cable
Optional ARC (Accessory Rail Connectors) for direct helmet mounting
→ ARC options available via Atlantic Signal
