    More information

    If you like your connections rather inexpensive and best quality with cables: No problem, all AKE components are compatible, e.g. you can use the helmet loudspeakers and the noise compensated microphone of the Bluetooth helmet set also via cable with any PowerCom system. Just change the plugs and you are ready to go.

    Not only the cable to the helmet can be replaced by a Bluetooth line, but also the connection to other devices, as e.g. to the mobile phone, etc.
