Bose ITH…
The Headset for
the HMWWV!
if you’re traveling in an
up-armored m1114 hmwwv
or other wheeled tactical
vehicle without hearing
protection, you are
damaging your hearing!
you
must
wear
hearing protection!
of course, wearing some
hearing protection can keep
you from hearing things
you need to hear, like life
and death warnings and the
sounds of the approaching
enemy.
that’s where the bose
improved tactical headset
(Ith), nsn 5965-01-521-0941,
comes in.
the headset protects your
hearing, but still lets you hear
what needs to be heard.
the headset fits over
the advanced combat
helmet (ach) or under
it. over the helmet, it
can be removed
without
removing the helmet.
adjustments to fit
every head are made
with the hook-and-pile
straps around the neck
and over the head.
its microphone assembly is
replaceable and can be positioned
on the
right
or the
left.
it’s
lighter
than
previous headsets and
the ear cushions are
more comfortable.
the headset
provides hearing
protection through
both active and
passive noise
reduction.
what
does
that
mean?
it means a
snug
fit
on the head
and ears gives
you passive noise
reduction…
…and the
electronics
give you
active noise
reduction.
the headset also has a
“talk-thru”
circuit that lets you dismount
from the vehicle and hear ambient sound in stereo and have a
normal conversation without having to remove the headset.
BOSE has arrived
It fts
under
or
over
the ACH
it’s the vital
component to the
intercom system of
your hmwwv and,
eventually, other
light tactical
vehicles.
sure is
loud
in
here!
what!?
