System Concept

​

The importance of clear and uninterrupted communication at sea can not be underestimated. In many cases it is what separates success from failure. Weather conditions, surrounding noise, distance to coworkers - all factors potentially making clear communication difficult or impossible.

 

The iriSound system combines your existing VHF/UHF radios with a State-Of–The-Art, waterproof intercom system enabling clear and trouble free communication under the most demanding conditions.

​

iriSound is a highly advanced audio unit that processes all sound signals to and from external units whether they are headsets, external radio units or the iriVision camera documentation system. The built-in intelligence allows for easy plug-and-play installation when used with other Iridium products – like the iriConnect for wireless headset communication. iriSound’s rugged, cast aluminum enclosure and the IP67-rated connectors offer a fully waterproof exterior construction designed specifically for the harsh conditions onboard small and medium sized vessels, with freedom to install it either inside or outside.

​

The electronics design is based on the newest 24bit/48kHz Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology, which offers superior sound quality and a world of software features like dynamic noise reduction, user controlled voice groups etc., some of which are offered as additional features.
