Today, Swedish hearing protector provider Sordin launched its new and long-awaited MIL-classified family of tactical headsets, Sordin Supreme T2™.
The new products are designed specifically for use in demanding military or law enforcement field operations. Sordin Supreme T2™ builds on the superior product quality that made the Sordin Supreme brand legendary since the 1980s. But here the similarities with the previous MIL generation end. The T2 is based on new technology from the inside out.
Every component was developed from scratch to meet the most stringent demands of modern tactical operations and to allow field operators to perform at their best at all times.
Christian Nilsson, CMO at Sordin
The electronic high-end headset gives operators a tactical edge through a rare combination of extreme mechanical robustness, reliable radio communications, and natural reproduction of ambient sound – particularly a high directional audio sensitivity.
We are happy to be able to offer tactical operators our most accurate and fast sense of location to different sound sources ever.
Roland Pettersson, Head of Tactical Segment at Sordin
T2 is based on SordinFLEX™, a new self-developed modular design platform. It gave Sordin engineers extended design possibilities, which resulted in more product variants than in previous generations of tactical headsets. In addition, the platform enabled engineers to optimize each component for both quality and versatility.
Sordin AB T2’s far-reaching modularity also allows for individual situational adaptation. Users can re-configure their headset themselves using dedicated SordinFLEX™ accessories, such as separate headband assemblies or suspensions, and a few easy procedures, without the need for tools.
You can, for example, re-design your T2 from helmet-mounted to headband version for comfortable use at the shooting range, and then simply change back based on need.
Christian Nilsson, CMO at Sordin
Sordin Supreme T2™ comes in three main design models with different boom microphone setups, each available in headband, neckband or helmet-mounted versions.
