{"product_id":"silynx-protego-std-in-ear-tactical-headset","title":"Silynx PROTEGO STD In-Ear Tactical Headset","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Silynx PROTEGO STD is a dual-ear in-ear tactical headset combining active hearing protection, ambient sound enhancement, and an integrated in-ear microphone in a 35-gram unit. It is rated to a 30 dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) and carries IP67 waterproof and MIL-STD-810G environmental certifications. Available in Black and Tan, the PROTEGO STD connects to Silynx CLARUS I, CLARUS II, and FORTIS control boxes via Quick Disconnect (QDC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHearing Protection That Stays Out of the Way\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PROTEGO STD's external microphone is positioned within the ear canal, working in coordination with the user's pinna to deliver directional hearing that mirrors natural auditory function. Hear-Thru enhancement amplifies ambient sound while impulse noise is simultaneously compressed to the 30 dB NRR-rated threshold, giving operators the ability to hear a teammate's voice and a threat indicator at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVoice Transmission Without an External Microphone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilynx's \"Talking from the Ear\" technology captures the user's inner auditory echo (the natural resonance of speech conducted through the ear canal) to produce a clear voice signal without a boom mic, lapel mic, or any external hardware. This keeps the face and collar clear for gas masks, ballistic visors, and other protective equipment that external microphones would interfere with. The microphone is integrated into the earbud; nothing protrudes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Extended, Demanding Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 35 grams total headset weight (5 grams per earbud), the PROTEGO STD is designed for continuous wear over long operational periods. The unit is rated IP67 waterproof (1 meter for 30 minutes), tested to MIL-STD-810G environmental standards, and EMI-compliant to EN 60950-22 and MIL-STD 461G. Operating temperature range is -31°C to +60°C. The PROTEGO connector supports Quick Disconnect (QDC), making it compatible with all Silynx modular control boxes without tools or adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30 dB NRR Hearing Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e rated noise reduction for impulse and sustained noise environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHear-Thru Ambient Enhancement:\u003c\/strong\u003e external microphone in the ear canal delivers directional situational awareness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\"Talking from the Ear\" Microphone:\u003c\/strong\u003e integrated in-ear mic captures inner auditory echo; no external microphone required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP67 Waterproof:\u003c\/strong\u003e rated to 1 meter for 30 minutes; dust-tight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMIL-STD-810G Certified:\u003c\/strong\u003e environmental durability standard for field use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Disconnect (QDC):\u003c\/strong\u003e tool-free connection to CLARUS I, CLARUS II, and FORTIS control boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHeadset Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e35 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEarbud Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNoise Reduction Rating (NRR)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e30 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWaterproof Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIP67 (1 m for 30 min)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEnvironmental Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMIL-STD-810G\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEMI Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEN 60950-22, MIL-STD 461G\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e-31°C to +60°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSpeaker Frequency Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e60 Hz to 12,000 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eConnector\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eQuick Disconnect (QDC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompatible Control Boxes\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCLARUS I, CLARUS II, FORTIS\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAvailable Colors\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack, Tan\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe PROTEGO STD suits military operators, law enforcement personnel, and security professionals who need certified hearing protection, ambient sound awareness, and radio communication capability in a single low-profile in-ear unit.
