What is it?

The Savox HC‑1 Helmet‑COM® is a compact, bone‑conduction helmet headset engineered for fireground and hazardous environments, providing clear, hands‑free communications while fitting inside most fire helmets. The bone‑conduction microphone sits inside the helmet to capture speech via skull vibrations, so it works with or without a face mask and avoids the contamination and snag risks of a boom mic. Rated IP56 for dust/water resistance.

Who uses it?

Designed for First Responders—firefighters, technical rescue, wildland/brush, USAR, and EMS—who need hands‑free, helmet‑integrated communications that remain clear under PPE and SCBA. Fire and emergency services have used HC‑1 solutions for over two decades.

How is it used?

• Mount in minutes using the universal fastening strap; the low‑profile single speaker positions over the ear under the helmet liner.
• Connect the QR4 (4‑pole) quick‑release to a Savox PTT or RSM (e.g., C‑C440 push‑to‑talk or C‑C550 remote speaker mic) for radio comms.
• Choose your preferred mic arm length (Short L52000 or Long L52005) for best placement and fit inside your specific helmet.

What is it used with?

• Savox control units: C‑C440 PTT and C‑C550 RSM (examples of compatible interfaces).
• Fire helmets: Fits most major models; MSA Gallet adapters provided.
• Two‑way radios: Through the connected Savox PTT/RSM and appropriate radio interface cable.

What material is it made from?

Savox specifies a flame‑retardant PUR coiled cable (Ø ~4 mm), with QR4 4‑pole male quick‑release connector; materials used meet UL94‑V0 flammability classes in the datasheet’s compliance section.
