SetCom Solutions For Your Apparatus
The solution to the age old problem of not being able to hear is here. SetCom headset systems designed and installed by Sonic Sounds will virtually eliminate your communications problems. When you combine the high volume of a Q2B siren, airhorns, an electronic siren, engine noise, and the fact that many drivers prefer to have their window open, it is no wonder that communications become difficult. That is only the surface of the problem: you are slowly forcing every firefighter on board the apparatus to lose their hearing. Sirens are WELL over the threshold for hearing loss, and in order to hear radio traffic, you need to make the radio volume even louder. Every tone, every word that comes over that radio is advancing the hearing loss process that much faster.
The solution is an intercom/headset system for your fire apparatus. These units are designed with your needs in mind and will protect every member of your crew from the inevitable hearing loss as well as lack of communication. Interfacing with your radio (or two radios or even three), these headset systems provide for a total communications solution. Most users get used to them very quickly. Setcom systems have the following advanced features standard: - "Only keying operator transmits" - Only the user pushing the Push-to-Talk button will transmit on the radio, regardless of who is talking over the intercom at the time.
- All users hear both sides of radio traffic, including the keying operator.
- Only Driver and Officer have radio access.
- Driver and Officer microphones always live on intercom, permitting constant communications.
- Crew Cab microphones access intercom only, and headset button must be depressed for that to take place.
Speakers Anywhere. Speakers Everywhere.
Our solution for engine rooms does not work in fire apparatus due to high background noise volumes and high speaker volumes. Often times, radio shops will place numerous speakers (or worse, numerous amplified speakers) in one cab, connected to one (or worse, more) radios. At best, this gets you high volume radio transmissions. At worst, it destroys your hearing even faster.
Why doesn't everybody have this?
The two reasons are simple: cost and tradition.
On average, SetCom systems cost $700 per crew seat position (fully installed).
Please keep your communications and your crews hearing in mind when you consider the price tag of $700 per seat. You probably spent more than that on turnout gear for every single member to protect them. Why not go the rest of the way?
