DISCUSSING TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANTAGES
QUAD-MIC ACTIVE LISTENING (TALK-THRU/HEAR-THRU)
The x-62000 has four (4) talk-through microphones, two (2) on each side of the head.
This allows for true 360˚ situational awareness. More importantly a four (4) mic
system coupled with Xacore’s specialized algorithms, developed by audiologists over
a two (2) year in field testing period, provides a quantum leap in the ability to discern
where a sound comes from (Sound Localization). The x-62000 sound localization and
situational awareness system provides a near-human ear hearing experience.
The x-62000 active listening system, which is completely independent of the radio
system, provides the following:
1 No vibration noise in radio transmit (TX). Most in-ear headsets have the mics
inside the ear close to the inner-ear fatty tissue. These tissues transmit human voice
well, however the bi-product is that they also transmit body vibration noise caused by
things like running, tracked vehicles and rotary vehicles. The result is that typical inear mic headsets’ radio transmissions are often noise-ridden and incomprehensible
when the body is exposed to vibrations.
2 No mic proximity noise in radio transmit (TX). Since typical in-ear headsets have
the mics located in the ear, other users voices that are in close proximity to the
wearers ears, in a breaching formation for example, can transmit unwillingly over
these mics in radio transmit (TX) causing unintended audio to transmit.
3 No loss of situational awareness. Most other in-ear headsets will, when the PTT
is activated, shut off one of the ear’s active listening mics so that it can pick up the
users voice for radio transmit (TX). This effectively makes you deaf in one ear during
radio transmit (TX).
4 No radio transmit (TX) failure. In Dynamic boom setups, radio transmit (TX) will
always work even if a loss of power or catastrophic headset failure occurs. You will
not lose your ability to communicate so long as the radio works.
5 No audio compression. Since most in-ear mic headsets have the radio transmit
(TX) mics in the ear and far from the mouth, they typically use audio compression to
make sure the mics can pick up the user’s voice. This is an audio treatment that
attempts to shrink (compress) the difference between volumes of sounds. What
happens in practice is that if you are talking with someone face to face and a truck
passes by, both the voice and the truck will come through to you at the same level,
making communication very difficult. Since Xacore only uses the four (4) active
listening mics for ambient noise and a boom mic (close to the lips) for radio transmit
(TX) the x-62000 can treat audio as human ears do, and instead of compression,
making noises sound like the unprotected ear hears them.
6 No whisper mode. Since in-ear headsets have the mics far from the mouth they
are susceptible to transmitting unwanted background noise, so they have to lower
sensitivity of the mics and/or filter the noise. This means that when you are
whispering, these systems in normal mode can not hear your voice, so typical in-ear
headsets add a whisper mode. Obviously in this mode background noises, if they
occur, are ultra loud. By using a boom mic for radio transmit (TX), the x-62000 does
not need a whisper mode.

DISCUSSING TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANTAGES
BOOM MICROPHONE
Xacore’ x-62000 uses a noise cancelling boom microphone, available in either
Dynamic or Electret format. When worn close to the lips the boom microphone will
cancel background noises on transmit and will pick up whispers without the need for
a “whisper mode” typically found in other in-ear solutions. Boom microphones afford
the clearest communications in all environments, and in military Dynamic mic
applications, radio transmit will always work even if the headset electronics fail or
lose power. The boom mic also has a gas mask option and a field replaceable option.
3 FACTORY PROGRAMMED MODES
To allow out-of-box use, Xacore has three (3) factory programmed modes and bionic
hearing.
Mode 1 Human hearing naturally restored with the ability to increase bionic hearing
in increments 0dB, +2dB, +6dB, +9dB and +12dB. Designed to work as unprotected
ears do and sound natural, with noises that are close sounding close and noises that
are far sounding further. Typical in-ear systems make all the noises virtually the same
volume. This is called audio compression, where typical in-ear headsets attempt to
lessen the decibel difference between loud and quiet noises, effectively making all the
noises you hear sound the same. This makes face to face interactions difficult when
there is background noise – similar to speaking to someone who is on a cellular
phone in a loud environment.
Mode 2 Situational awareness muted, effectively providing radio and passive
earplugs only. Designed for environments that radio and hearing protection is
required but face to face interaction is not, such as HALO jumps or rotary vehicle
deployment.
Mode 3 Adaptive Noise Reduction with the ability to increase bionic hearing in
increments 0dB, +2dB, +6dB, +9dB and +12dB. This mode removes up to -12dB of
constant background noise across the entire spectrum. Unlike typical ANR which
only works between 20Hz and 500 Hz, Adaptive Noise Reduction works between 2016,000Hz while maintaining the ability to hear human voices. Designed for use in loud
environments where face to face interaction is required such as in Armour Personnel
Carriers or engine rooms.
These modes can be factory altered and other modes are available

HI-FIDELITY FAILSAFE QUAD-SPEAKER SYSTEM
Four (4) speakers are housed in the x-62000. Two (2) are directly tied to the radio and
two (2) are used for the active listening system. This ensures that the radio will
always receive (RX), even if there is power loss to the headset or a catastrophic
electronics failure. Couple this feature with a Dynamic mic (Military versions) you
will always have radio communications as long as the radio is running.
HEADSET STYLE DESIGN
Provides a much more ruggedized ensemble and a true submersible design where
the entire headset system is submersible to the same depth. Typical in-ear systems
have a control box which is usually more submersible than the earbuds. Additionally,
a headset style design, unlike typical in-ear style earbuds, prevents the earbuds
from pulling out of the ears when crawling or when the cabling gets snagged. It also
allows all the electronics to be mounted in the headset which means there is no
control box and the x-62000 can connect to virtually any PTT or C4 system. Finally, in
whisper environments, the boom can be cupped in the hand to further enhance
stealth.
