Comtac VI Headset

Introducing the ComTac VI Headset

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

Advancement #1: Built-in Wireless Intercom

Unlike previous models, the ComTac VI features a fully integrated wireless intercom, eliminating the need for external intercom systems in vehicles, boats, or helicopters.

Key Benefits:

  • No need to disconnect from your PTT/radio when entering a vehicle or switching platforms.

  • No additional hardware or installation cost for intercom systems.

How it works:

  • 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.

Advancement #2: MAP Function (Mission Audio Profiles)

The ComTac VI includes five mission-specific auditory profiles that adapt the headset’s ambient microphone behavior to fit different environments and reduce distractions.

Use Cases:

  • 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.

Advancement #3: Adjustable-Length Boom Microphone

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

Enhanced Hearing Protection

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

Modular Headband Design & Compatibility

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
