TEA HISTORY - A LEGACY OF SETTING THE STANDARD IN TACTICAL COMMUNICATIONS

Founded in 1969, TEA has a long history of providing advanced tactical headsets and communication products
to specialized teams within law enforcement and the military. In the early 1980’s, TEA designed and developed
the first tactical throat mic system (LASH®) for use with military and public safety portable radios. Soon after
that TEA began to provide maritime teams the first radio dry bags with fully integrated submersible headsets
and push-to-talk switches that revolutionized the way maritime teams could communicate in the water.

In 2000 TEA introduced a completely new type of tactical headset, the INVISIO® in-ear headset, which
uses the patented in-ear bone conduction microphone. Special Operations Forces and SWAT Teams
quickly adopted this exciting new in-ear headset technology. Soon after releasing the INVISIO®
headset line TEA was awarded the MICH MARITIME program, which provided Special Operations
Teams within the US Navy and US Marine Corps the ability to use a suite of communication
headsets and a universal push-to-talk/control unit with modular cable down leads giving
them the ability to interface with an extremely broad range of radios and intercom systems.
TEA continues to support modifications and purchases for the MICH MARITIME program.

In 2013, TEA was awarded the TCAPS program with their INVISIO® X50 system, which
provides soldiers an in-ear communication headset with certified hearing protection and
enhanced electronic hear-through as well as a modular push-to-talk/control unit that
interfaces with the new NETT Warrior radios/devices as well ground vehicle and air-
craft intercom systems. The primary objective of the TCAPS program is to ensure
all soldiers have the highest level of hearing protection and communications on the
battlefield.

To this day TEA continues to develop and provide comprehensive communication


products and solutions for military special operations forces, law enforcement,
public safety and industrial applications. With our motto being “I HEARD YOU
THE FIRST TIME” we make sure you can effectively communicate wherever
your operations take you!

Company Mission Statement: The mission of TEA Headsets is to provide our customers

INVISIO ®

NO NOISE. ONLY YOUR VOICE.


For over a decade INVISIO has developed high performance headsets for Special Forces, SWAT Teams, Law Enforcement and Fire & Rescue teams
across the globe to meet their needs in extreme environments. INVISIO offers an extensive range of tactical headsets to equip the professional communication
user. INVISIO headsets utilize the patented Bone Conduction TechnologyTM which offers unsurpassed communication in all environments. Because of the
unique voice transfer system, ambient sounds that can interfere during a conversation are eliminated. Wind, military vehicles, even gun fire is not transmitted
- only your voice.

INVISIO® Bone Conduction (BCM) Technology


Extensively fielded and combat proven, INVISIO® patented
bone conduction technology captures speech directly from
the inner ear via vibrations off the jawbone. This unique
technology allows for ultimate speech clarity in high noise
applications and even allows for speech underneath O2 or
gas masks.

Every INVISIO headset utilizes the Bone Conduction Micro-


phone (BCM) for speech and is available in several different
model types.

Advanced Audio Processing


The INVISIO® X5 headset includes miniaturized audio components, advanced digital signal
processing and an ergonomic design that provides the most natural hearing and comfort possible.
Because the X5 is an in-ear headset, it is able to utilize your own natural ear shape to help shadow
sounds and provide accurate 360° awareness.

With advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) the X5 delivers natural ambient hear-thru that allows
you to constantly monitor your surroundings and accurately pinpoint the origin of foreign sounds during
operations.

Certified Hearing Protection


The X5 simultaneously allows you to monitor your surroundings and also provides you with
industry leading and certified hearing protection. When exposed to loud or extremely
high noise the X5 will reduce the incoming ambient audio and ensure you
maintain your awareness at a safe level. Utilizing 6 unique sizes of expanding
foam tips the X5 will provide you comfortable and reliable protection against impulse
noises (like gunfire/explosions) as well as continuous noises (like large vehicles/equipment).
If unprotected, these noises can cause permanent hearing damage and hearing loss!

Phonak Nano System: The new Nano system consists of a special neck loop mic and a Nano earpiece that are both based on
the new transductor technology. Unlike conventional covert systems, the neck loop transmits the speech signal coming from the pro-
fessional radio on a much higher frequency than the usual plain base-band audio frequencies. The Nano earpiece picks up the freq-
uencies emitted by the loop and transposes them down to the audible domain again. The earpiece contains a very powerful Digital
Signal Processing chip that carries out complex tasks such as automatic gain control, loudness limiting and soft squelch rapidly and
efficiently. By transmitting on much higher frequencies, the covert communication system is immune to electromagnetic interferes.
In other words: Nano is the only covert solution with EMI shield.
Profilo Nano: 27% smaller than the original Profilo,
the Nano is the smallest covert earpiece in the world.
With it’s transductive EMI shield and digital sound
processing, Nano’s audio quality is second to none.

Neckloop: Built to last, the Profilo Nano’s loop


incorporates a reduced-size microphone and dual
quick-release safety connectors. The Neckloop is
easily accommodated underneath almost any type
of shirt.

Remote PTT: The remote push-to-talk allows you


to remotely key your connected radio and also
adjusts volume. The Remote PTT can also be
configured to generate tones for discrete comm-
unications.

Device Integration: We offer a broad range of


radio and device adapters for seamless integration.
