STIHL LAUNCHES ADVANCE PROCOM HEADSET

STIHL’s new ADVANCE ProC OM headset offers forestry and landscaping professionals clear and high-quality communication in noisy environments, while offering a high level of ear protection. Using intercom mesh technology, up to 16 headsets can link automatically, allowing users to listen and communicate effectively as a team. 

Designed with user safety in mind, STIHL’s new innovative headset has a high attenuation value of 31 for extremely high noise protection, and is available as a headset or as an accessory for the ADVANCE X-CLIMB helmet. ADVANCE ProCOM may also be fitted to other 3M compatible helmets.  

ADVANCE ProCOM has a range of up to 600 m depending on the terrain, however, each headset acts as an amplifier to extend the range even further if more than two headsets are in use. Multiple channels are available for teams working in close proximity, and users may choose the open mic setting for frequent communication, or alternatively, the push-to-talk button can be used instead to minimise background noise. 

The intelligent ambient mode feature allows the user to clearly hear their surroundings and react quickly to potential dangers such as traffic or passers-by. Ambient mode de-activates automatically when a loud noise is detected, maintaining a high level of protection when it’s most needed.  

Additional features such as smartphone voice assistance, an integrated FM radio and app customisation are also included in the ADVANCE ProCOM system. Thanks to an IP 64 protection rating users can also be assured that sweat, dirt and rain will not harm the headset's electronics, offering complete flexibility. The headsets also feature large, ergonomic buttons for easy use and handling when wearing gloves.
