Traditionally, a headset has a set &#xA0;frequency response, and the operator can only increase or decrease the volume.&#xA0;The MAP function provides new advanced ambient listening modes that allow access to &#xA0;a variety of gain settings, but with frequency &#xA0;shaping, to enhance auditory performance in &#xA0;five conditions. The MAP Profiles have been &#xA0;designed with a variety of combat and combat &#xA0;support operations in mind.1: Observation Highest volume and widest frequency response to maximize hearing when the user is still (overwatch, hide, SLLS, etc).2: Patrol&#xA0;High volume with reduced high frequencies to limit sounds such as footsteps on gravel, grass moving under feet, equipment moving on body.&#xA0;3: Conversation Maximizes the frequencies important for face-to-face communications while lowering the frequencies outside of the average speech band.4: Comfort Low volume and narrow frequency response to be used when in noise for long periods of time (tactical vehicle, air transport) where environmental listening is not prioritized over communications and overall comfort.5: Environmental listening off ComTac VI features the capability to turn the environmental listening function off, while not powering down the headset. This may be beneficial in high noise environments where the least amount of outside sound is desired to help with communications.&#xA0; <hr><h2 id="-1"> </h2><h2 id="natural-interaction-behavior-nib">Natural Interaction Behavior (NIB)</h2><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/n5n0e/hc/62el/screenshot%202024-02-27%20at%202.23.58%E2%80%AFpm-fcbcc679-ffd2-4506-8301-3bda97c4502f.png" style="width: 672px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> Double press the PTT button to toggle between the different modes, NIB PTT On - NIB Off - NIB Vox On. Press and hold the PTT button to transmit.NIB enables short-range, headset-to-headset &#xA0;communication in high noise environments, without the use of an external communications radio.&#xA0;The NIB function allows for 4 team members &#xA0;to speak simultaneously, and over 60 people within a 10 meter radius to listen at any given time. Audio transmit is activated by either a voice &#xA0;activated switch (VOX) for hands free &#xA0;operations or by push-to-talk. &#xA0;&#xA0;The VOX switch is adaptive, meaning the threshold to activate will adjust automatically &#xA0;to the noise environment. To help reduce user burden, a tactile button has been added to the left ear cup that allows the user to easily turn on or off the function / and switch from VOX to PTT settings.&#xA0;The NIB function is easy to use. Team members in proximity of each other (10 Meters) will be &#xA0;automatically connected (when the NIB function is on) with full duplex communications. &#xA0;&#xA0;When the VOX mode is enabled, as the noise environment gets louder (levels 80db and above) hands free communications is enabled.
