Helmet Fitment & Speaker Positioning

Factors Affecting Performance

The performance of your AudyseCORE depends on several physical factors, including:

• Helmet Fit: This varies based on head shape, helmet brand, model, and style (e.g., open face, modular, full-face).
• Speaker Placement: The AudyseCORE speakers are designed to be as slim as standard motorcycle communicator speakers. However, speaker pocket positions vary by helmet brand, and proper positioning is critical for ANC performance.
• Tight Fit for ANC: Unlike standard speakers that only need to be “close enough” to your ears, AudyseCORE speakers must be positioned tightly against the ear to effectively cancel noise using anti-noise technology.

Positioning Your Speakers for Optimal ANC

Trial Fitting Before Attachment

Wear your helmet and test different speaker positions before securing them with the provided Velcro patches.

For easiest test fitment, remove your cheek pads, this will enable more room for you to feel with your fingers for proper fitment.

1. Modular or Open-Face Helmets:
   • Insert the speaker near your cheek and gently push it back onto your ear.
   • Use a finger under the neck opening to adjust vertical positioning.
   • Play music to help find the loudest, clearest position.
2. Full-Face Helmets:
   • Insert the speaker from the neck opening and push it onto your ear.
   • Use a finger through the open visor to adjust forward-backward positioning.
   • Loosen or remove the cheek pad liner for better access in tight helmets.
3. Speaker Pockets in Helmets:
   • If your helmet speaker pocket aligns perfectly with your ear, then congratulations, you’re lucky! However, the ear cup/foam cover may not be touching your ears.
   • If it is too far from your ear, you may need to insert spacers to ensure you get a snug (but comfortable ) fit against your ears.

The ideal positioning of the AudyseCORE headset is for the speaker’s face, either with the speaker pads or foam covers, to cover your ear and align with your ear canal.

Comfort Adjustments

Choosing Between Ear Cups & Foam Covers

• Ear Cups: Provide superior noise reduction and sound quality but may feel tight in some helmets. Small positioning adjustments can significantly improve comfort.
• Foam Covers: Offer slightly less noise reduction but a more comfortable fit due to their thinner profile.

Firmware Options for Comfort Adjustments

• If using foam covers, visit ridepass.audysetech.com to switch to the optimized firmware.
• You can switch back to the ear cup firmware anytime.
• Future firmware updates will allow switching directly through the Ridepass website without flashing new firmware.

Testing Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)

To verify that your AudyseCORE’s ANC is functioning correctly:

1. Play a low-frequency test tone from a sound source (e.g., PC speakers, entertainment system, musical instrument speaker).
2. Place the helmet on your head and visit: https://onlinetonegenerator.com/
3. Set the frequency to 90 Hz and adjust the volume to an audible level.
4. Toggle ANC On/Off using a short press on the AudyseCORE push button (a chime will confirm the action).
5. You should hear a noticeable difference in noise levels when ANC is activated.

Safety Reminder

If you choose to modify your helmet for better speaker positioning or comfort, do not compromise helmet safety. Ensure any modifications maintain the structural integrity of your helmet.
