3M PELTOR CH-3 Hard-Hat Headset with Nexus Connector – 24 dB NRR

The Motorola PMLN8267A 3M PELTOR CH-3 Series Hard-Hat Headset combines two-way radio communication with passive hearing protection for professionals working in high-noise industrial environments. Its helmet-mounted, dual-muff design protects both ears while eliminating the need for a conventional over-the-head band.

The headset provides a Noise Reduction Rating of 24 dB to help reduce exposure to damaging workplace noise from machinery, construction equipment, industrial processes, and other loud operations. Speech-optimized dual-ear speakers deliver incoming radio audio to both ears, helping users hear important messages in challenging environments.

A flexible noise-canceling boom microphone helps suppress surrounding noise for clearer outgoing voice transmissions. The boom microphone carries an IP68 classification for dependable operation in dusty, wet, and demanding working conditions.

The integrated Nexus connector provides a secure, quick-disconnect connection to the required Motorola PMLN8297A GCAI-Mini Push-to-Talk Adapter. The adapter supplies the large body-worn PTT button and connects the headset to a compatible Motorola portable radio.

The PMLN8267A does not include a hard hat, radio, or PMLN8297A adapter. Hard-hat mounting compatibility and the complete radio-accessory configuration should be verified before ordering.
