BIKE to BIKE & PILLION INTERCOM

SENA BIKE TO BIKE AND PASSENGER MOTORCYCLE

INTERCOM INTERPHONE

It is not often that we become this excited about a product.

For the last 20 months we have been researching and testing many types of different motorcycle helmet intercom systems from around the world.

These are of a few of the candidates that simply did not meet the grade. Not only were these wireless motorbike intercom units an exercise in frustration but also proved to be an absolute waste of time and resources (unfortunately this is the only way to distinguish a superior product from those which have pretensions of being one).

Finally we believe we have found the most advanced motorcycle Bluetooth helmet 2 way communicator-the newly released SENA SMH10 headset.

If there is one motorcycle headset accessory you should consider then this is it!

With the worlds most user friendly and simple interface you can call hands-free on your Bluetooth mobile phone, listen to stereo music or voice instructions from your GPS and enjoy intercom conversations in full duplex with a passenger or other motorcycle riders,completely wirelessly!

Voted #1 by independent motorcycle journalists (see below)

Features of the Sena SMH10:

• The simplest user interface of any unit currently on the market. Only one

button

• Wireless full duplex(simultaneous talking/listening) rider to pillion intercom

communication with switchable VOX

• Wireless multiple bike to bike communication : 4 independent bikes can

communicate with each other up to 900m (with each intercom channel being

a private full duplex channel ). In our tests we often achieved over 900m line

of sight communication range

• If the unit does go out of range it automatically reconnects.

No need to re-set the units(some manufactures offerings require the unit to

be switched on and off if it goes out of range to re-establish a connection)

• Wireless Bluetooth connection to your GPS to receive driving information

(music automatically pauses and re-starts after receiving a GPS instruction)

• Wirelessly make and receive phone calls via your cell phone

(music/GPS instructions automatically pause and re-start after receiving

a phone call)

• Driver and Passenger are independent and can receive different calls

• Bluetooth wireless or wired connection of an Mp3/Ipod for full STEREO A2DP

music. Even if your music player is not Bluetooth enabled the Sena still allows

you to attach it directly via a Mp3 port on the base. A gold plated cable to

connect your player is included in the kit.

• Both riders can listen to their own music

• Bluetooth music playback control by AVRCP: play, pause, track forward and

track back with a unique jog dial for phones/Mp3 players equipped with AVRCP

• Fully waterproof

• Exceptional volume range with integrated audio booster and high quality

helmet speakers.

• Crisp and clear communication between all connected units/accessories

• Individual volume control for each audio source

• Excellent rechargeable battery life- 12 hours constant talk time, 10 days

standby.

• The unit can even be charged while riding your bike with supplied 12V

charger. A 220v/110v wall charger is also included in the kit.

• A unique optional base that allows you to also use your personal ear buds if

preferred.

• the latest Bluetooth Specification v2.1

Simple to use (arguably the most important of its many functions)

What sets different motorcycle intercom headsets apart is their functionality and ergonomics. Traditionally other market offerings involve a series of obscure and illogical button-pushing sequences that are challenging at best, leaving the user to ponder if they were ever designed for motorcycle applications in the first place.

Having the most bells & whistles is worthless if you are distracted through fiddling for the correct buttons. Furthermore a unit should at very least be glove friendly.

A simple rule of thumb: If you are tempted to remove your gloves or aimlessly fiddle while riding in order to do something with the unit, then that function is useless and potentially unsafe.

The Sena SMH 10 is by far the simplest intercom system to use and is designed with ease of use and safety in mind.

There are two design factors that are immediately noticeable on the Sena SMH10: first, the absence of many buttons. Believe it or not, the engineers at Sena have made a breakthrough in a motorcycle intercom user interface - A total of one button.

It's called the "Phone Button" because it controls pretty much all of the functions of a paired cell phone.

The other can't-miss feature is the "Jog Dial". The Jog Dial controls the intercom functions. The Jog Dial also rotates to raise and lower the volume. Rotate the wheel one way to raise the volume; rotate it the other way to lower the volume. Simplicity at its best.

Adjust the volume Should you not wish to use the Voice Activated

intercom (VOX) then a simple tap of the Jog dial

will activate the intercom

Many cell phones that are capable of playing music are also AVRCP (Audio and Video Remote Control Profile) enabled.

With AVRCP compatible players the unique Jog dial also allows you to control your music. Now you can even pause/play music as well as skip forwards and backwards through your play list via a simple tap of the Jog dial.

What the press and users are saying

Webike World review:

The SMH10 intercom is the standard for other systems to match or beat. Typical link ranges, under ideal and even degraded conditions can be in excess of 1000 metres down to around 800 metres.

The SMH10 is a real minimalist with regards to its controls. It has one real button, the "Phone Button", which when used in conjunction with the Jog Dial seemingly turns the system on or off instantly. This button is also used for pairing purposes. The only other control is hard to miss and an absolute joy to use.

The multi-function Jog Dial represents absolute simplicity. Along with the Phone Button it powers the system on or off, initiates intercom and AVRCP controls and, adjusts the volume (forward for down and back for up). For ease of access and control, even while wearing heavy lobster-claw gloves, it cannot be beaten.

In another forward-thinking step, each SMH10 kit includes a small 12V DC adapter that allows the system to be used and charged while on the road.
