REVOLUTION-X HEADSET (AKA REV-X)
COMING SOON!!! A TRUE GAME CHANGER IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD! RECEIVE RADIO COMMS, VIA "FOCUSED AUDIO", WITH NOTHING IN, ON OR OVER EITHER EAR! NEARLY 2 YEARS IN DEVELOPMENT FOR AND WITH TODAY'S WARFIGHTERS. IN HIGH NOISE ENVIRONMENTS, SIMPLY PRESS A BUTTON TO SWITCH FROM FOCUSED AUDIO TO ELECTRONIC EARPIECES. ELECTRONIC EARPIECES FEATURE USER-ADJUSTABLE AMBIENT LISTENING PLUS ELECTRONIC HEARING PROTECTION IN ADDITION TO RECEIVING COMMS. OPERATOR HAS THEIR CHOICE OF MULTI-SIZED EARTIPS OR RAPID TURN-AROUND CUSTOM EARMOLDS. ELECTRONIC EARPIECES FEATURE MAGNETIZED STORAGE CAPABILITY WHEN NOT EMPLOYED. PATENT-PENDING. (FIELD EVALUATION PROTOTYPE PICTURED).
RECEIVE RADIO COMMS WITH NOTHING IN, ON, OR OVER THE EARS VIA ATLANTIC SIGNAL TRADEMARKED FOCUSED AUDIO. ON A HELO OR APPROACHING A TARGET? BY SIMPLY DEPRESSING A BUTTON ON THE HEADSET, THE FOCUSED AUDIO SPEAKERS ARE DISABLED AND COMMS ARE INSTANTLY TRANSERRED TO DUAL IN-THE-EAR SPEAKERS; PROVIDING USER CONTROLLABLE RADIO/ICS COMMS, ELECTRONIC HEARING PROTECTION AND ELECTRONIC ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE AMPLIFICATION. NUMEROUS STYLES AND SIZES OF EARTIPS ARE AVAILABLE AS WELL AS CUSTOM EARMOLDS. THE REV-X WAS DESIGNED TO BE UTILIZED IN THE AIR (HAHO/HALO), ON LAND, AS WELL AS MARITIME USE (EXPOSURE UP TO FIVE METERS).
FOCUSED AUDIO SPEAKERS (SHOWN IN PHOTO) RECEIVE INCOMING RADIO COMMS WITH NOTHING IN, ON, OR OVER THE EARS VIA MULTIPLE, MINIATURE, STRATEGICALLY ALIGNED, OPEN-AIR / FOCUSED AUDIO SPEAKERS POSITIONED INSIDE EACH FRONT "ARM" OF THE REV-X HEADSET. INCOMING AUDIO IS TARGETED DIRECTLY TO EACH EAR CANAL. OPERATIONAL FIELD TRIALS HAVE PROVEN, EVEN IN SUPER QUIET ENVIRONMENTS, WITH RADIO VOLUME CONTROLLED BY THE WEARER, NO OTHER INDIVIDUALS IN THE OPERATOR'S ENVIRONMENT CAN HEAR THE SOUND EXITING THE FOCUSED AUDIO SPEAKERS AND ENTERING THE WEARER'S EAR CANALS. THE INCOMING RADIO COMMS, IN ESSENCE, ARE PRIVATE TO EACH WEARER JUST AS IF HE/SHE WERE WEARING A TRADITIONAL CIRCUMAURAL HEADSET OR INDIVIDUAL ELECTRONIC EARPIECES. THE OBVIOUS BENEFIT? THE WEARER CAN MAINTAIN PERSONAL, UNENCUMBERED, SITUATIONAL AND DIRECTIONAL AWARENESS OF HIS/HER SURROUNDINGS. ADDITIONALLY, IN HOT WEATHER OR DURING EXTENDED HEADSET WEAR, THE EARS CAN NOW REMAIN OPEN & UNCOVERED; KEEPING THEM COOL WHILE ALSO REMOVING THE ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH SWEAT WHEN WEARING TRADITONAL CIRCUMAURAL HEADSETS OR EARPIECES THAT MUST BE WORN IN THE EAR CANALS AT ALL TIMES TO MAINTAIN COMMS. IN THE CASE OF MANY ELECTRONIC EARPIECES, A HIGHLY, POSITION-SENSITIVE, BONE MICROPHONE IS USED TO TRANSMIT CRUCIAL COMMS RATHER THAN A MUCH MORE, TRADITIONAL, PROVEN AND RELIABLE, NOISE CANCELING BOOM MICROPHONE POSITONED IN FRONT OF THE MOUTH. EACH HEADSET COMES WITH A PAIR OF EASILY ADHERED, HYPO-ALLERGENIC PADS FOR COMFORT AGAINST THE HEAD. BECAUSE OF THE HEADSET'S PATENT PENDING DESIGN, THERE IS ZERO NEED FOR COMPRESSION AGAINST AND ABOUT THE HEAD LIKE THERE IS WITH A CIRCUMAURAL HEADSET.
THE POSITIONING/LOCATION OF THE TRADEMARKED ATLANTIC SIGNAL FOCUSED AUDIO SPEAKERS CAN BE SEEN, FROM THE WEARER'S SIDE VIEW, IN THE ADJACENT PHOTO. THE WATERPROOF (UP TO 5 METERS), NOISE CANCELING, ARTICULATED ARM, BOOM MICROPHONE CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE MORE TRADITIONAL LEFT SIDE (AS WORN) AND MOVED TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE FOR LEFT HANDED TRIGGER PULLERS. EACH REV-X HEADSET, AS DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY, OFFERS THE WEARER THE OPTION OF RECEIVING COMMS VIA THE FOCUSED AUDIO SPEAKERS LOCATED INSIDE THE FRONT "ARMS" OF THE HEADSET OR VIA THE EARPIECES SHOWN IN THE PICTURE. EACH EARPIECE IS MAGNETICALLY HELD IN PLACE, OUT OF THE WEARER'S WAY WHEN NOT IN USE. EACH EARPIECE FEATURES A NEO-DYMINIUM MAGNET INSIDE THE EARPIECE HOUSING THAT MATES WITH A STRATEGICALLY PLACED MAGNET INSIDE EACH OF THE REAR "ARMS" OF THE HEADSET STRUCTURE. AN INDENTATION IS MOLDED INTO EACH REAR HEADSET "ARM" WHERE THE EARPEICES "REST" WHEN NOT EMPLOYED. THE SPECIFIC POLARITY POSTIONING OF THE MAGNETS, REGISTERS THE EARPIECE, IN STORAGE MODE, IN THE SAME POSITION AT ALL TIMES. THIS ASSISTS THE WEARER IN KNOWING EXACTLY HOW HE/SHE NEEDS TO GRASP AND POSITON THE EARPEICES IN EACH EAR - PERFORMING THE TASK "BLINDLY". THE TWIN BUTTONS SHOWN ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE REV-X HEADSET FRONT ARM PROVIDE THE OPERATOR THE ABILITY TO ADJUST INDIVIDUAL EARPIECE, ENVIRONMENTAL, AMBIENT VOLUME UPWARD / DOWNWARD WHEN EARPIECES ARE BEING WORN.
AS SHOWN IN THE ADJACENT PHOTO, THE REV-X HEADSET WAS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO FIT COMFORTABLY UNDER MULTIPLE STYLES OF PROTECTIVE HELMETS. THE DAYS OF HAVING TO PURCHASE ALTERNATIVE HELMET RAIL MOUNTS, AND SWITCH YOUR HEADSET BACK AND FORTH FROM A REMOVABLE, OVER-THE-HEAD, HEADBAND TO A PAIR OF HELMET RAIL MOUNTS IS OVER. FURTHER, WITH TRADITIONAL RAIL MOUNTED HEADSETS, THE WEARER IS FORCED TO BREAK COMMS EVERY TIME HE/SHE TAKES THEIR HELMET OFF. WE HAVE SOLVED THAT ISSUE. WANT TO GIVE YOUR EARS A BREAK? SIMPLY REMOVE AND STOW THE EARPIECES AND MONITOR INCOMING RADIO/ICS COMMS VIA THE FOCUSED AUDIO SPEAKERS. THE BUTTON SHOWN IN THE PHOTO IS INITIALLY USED TO TURN THE HEADSET ON/OFF BY A SINGLE DEPRESSION. ONCE THE HEADSET IS ON AND RUNNING, EACH SINGLE DEPRESSION OF THE SAME BUTTON WILL SHIFT RECEIVE AUDIO FROM THE FOCUSED AUDIO SPEAKERS TO THE ELECTRONIC EARPIECES AND BACK. THE OPEN, TWO PIN CONNECTION SLOT SHOWN IN THE PHOTO IS WHERE THE BOOM MICROPHONE IS PLUGGED IN IF THE MICROPHONE POSITION IS SWITCHED FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE HEADSET. BOTH OF THE REV-X HEADSET'S TWO PIN OPENINGS CAN ALSO BE UTILIZED FOR ELECTRONIC CONNECTION TO AN O2 MASK. THE ROUNDED, RECTANGULAR COMPONENT, SHOWN AT THE TOP OF EACH HEADSET SIDE, IS THE COVER FOR INSERTION OF A AAA ALKALINE BATTERY.
AS PICTURED TO THE LEFT, EACH REV-X EARPIECE HOUSING CONTAINS AN INTERNAL, NEO-DYMINIUM, MAGNET. THE HEADSET'S REAR ARMS, THAT BEND BEHIND EACH EAR WHEN THE HEADSET IS PROPERLY FITTED TO THE HEAD, CONTAIN AN OPPOSITE POLARITY NEO-DYMINIUM MAGNET. WHEN THE TWO MAGNETS ARE POSITONED NEAR ONE ANOTHER (AS IN STOWING THE EARPIECES WHEN NOT USED) THEY AUTOMATICALLY REGISTER, ALIGN AND LOCK ONTO ONE ANOTHER IN A REPETITIVE SPECIFIC STORAGE DIRECTION. THIS ASSURES THE WEARER THAT THE EARPIECES ARE STOWED IN THAT SAME, SPECIFIC, DIRECTION EACH AND EVERY TIME - ALLOWING THE WEARER, WITH LITTLE, INITIAL REPETITIVE MOTION, TO KNOW WHERE EACH EARPIECE IS WHEN 'BLINDLY' GRABBING THEM TO POSITION INTO THE EAR. LIKEWISE, UPON REMOVAL, THE USER CAN CONFIDENTLY, 'BLINDLY', IDENTIFY THE STORAGE POSITION BEHIND EACH EAR. THE EARPIECE MAGNETS WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOCATE THE MAGNETS INSTALLED IN THE REAR HEADSET ARMS FORCING THEM TO CONNECT, REGISTERING EACH EARPIECE IN THE EXACT SAME POSITION AS WHEN PREVIOUSLY REMOVED.
