Hello
For about 2 years now I've been looking for a method of having helmet mounted ear protection on my ACH. I've been fortunate enough to have been in conventional side Army units where we were allowed to wear Ops-Core Fast MTs in any config we wanted. But after PCSing to a less understanding unit, I was not allowed to wear personally bought equipment.
Finally after seeing the RAC headset I had hope and then saw the modularity of the AMP and pulled the trigger on a purchase. I got the NFMI compatible version due to working inside of a loud Bradley for hours. For whatever reason I cannot comfortably wear Sordins or Comtac IIIs under an ACH, having tried multiple liners and padding setups and behind the neck Peltors I still havent found a optimal solution. Utilizing the AMP and its helmet mounting system positioned on the rear of my ACH helped solve all my issues and got me as close to an Ops-core Fast MT as I could. The headset audio quality from my experience is excellent compared to Comtacs even with NFMI ear plugs
Total price paid was 1300$ for headset, helmet mount kit, NFMI ear plugs, and 1 Downlead cable.
I haven't seen any reviews for this product or anyone with a solution to converting the ACH into as close of a version of a Fast MT as possible. So I wanted to share my data and config to hopefully solve some issues or at least provide options.
