Why Autocom?

By design the basic components of a communication system are the microphone, amplifier and speaker(s). The microphone picks up the sound of your voice while the amplifier amplifies it to the speakers.

The problem with this type of basic configuration is that the microphone picks up ambient noises and then amplifies them. The result: wind, road and bike noise volumes higher than natural levels, which is far worse than the noise before amplification.
Many systems try to overcome this problem by adding a volume control to the configuration. Sounds good to the uninformed, but a volume control alone will simply result in increased overall volume, which is not good if the system has ambient noise within it. A volume control only has real value if the system technology is advanced enough to eliminate the ambient noise from the system, which no other system except Autocom has accomplished.

When researching a system make sure to measure the system as a whole as a system is not successful unless the entire system works. A system that works for music, or a system whose intercom seems to work fine, but whose performance declines when adding bike-to-bike is not a well-designed system. The basic fact is that you need a complete package of technologies for the system to actually be a "system".
