Ths was obtained from their stand at the NEC, where they launched two new products to replace their existing Pro M1 and Easicom V8.
Fear not if you have already got either of these units; you won't necessarily be shocked at the improvements but the significant improvement is the increase in volume to the headset, with a 50% boost as opposed to the 20% boost in HI setting.
Additionally, the earpieces can be exchanged for hi power alternates boosting volume further. Those people benefiting from this improvement will be those who want to wear earplugs, as this will permit hearing the autocom, previously very difficult over 50mph.
Sadly, in order to effect the improvement, the helmet wiring has been changed from 5 to 7 pins and these parts are incompatible with the previous versions. Autocom can upgrade the previous versions (Pro M1 and Easicom V8) to new cabling, but you will also have to change the headset.
The only other noticeable improvement are fully moulded DIN connectors with a waterproof snap-fit.
These two improvements address two of the three areas of reservation about the previous models, leaving one major stumbling block - price.
Even in this area, these concerns have been addressed. Previously a Pro M1 kitted out with bike power and rider to pillion cost £375. The show price for the new Pro 7 Sport, which may continue for a short while afterwards, is £277, which is very reasonable for this bit of kit.
So, if you were hesitating on a purchase maybe it's time to think again.
