INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Introduction

The OTTO NoizeBarrier TAC headset provides clear radio communications, industry-lead

-

ing hearing protection and excellent situational awareness/talk-through capability for 

mission-critical operations. Advanced talk-through sound suppression circuitry enhances 

the ability to hear low-level sounds while protecting hearing.

OTTO’s NoizeBarrier TAC headset features left and/or right integrated audio input down

-

lead(s) to connect to external radio(s) or other communications device(s). Situational 

awareness functions are controlled by buttons on the left ear cup and powered by two 

AAA batteries that provide approximately 72 hours of use. Selectable signal separation 

allows dual comm users to separate audio into left, right or both ears. An external Push-

To-Talk (PTT) cable is required to control communications functions. 

Some models of the OTTO NoizeBarrier TAC headset may also be used with the OTTO 

Multi-Port Hub PTT that provides modular control of up to three communications plat

-

forms. The Hub is compatible with major radio platforms using detachable cables, as well 

as vehicular and aircraft intercoms (ICS). Situational awareness can be controlled either 

via buttons on the headset or volume controls on the Hub.

An optional helmet mount kit is available to change the headset from an over-the-head 

headband configuration to a top or rear rail helmet-mounted configuration while in the 

field without the use of tools. For convenience, a spare battery for the situational aware

-

ness functionality can be stored in each of the two rail-mount assemblies.
