How helmet modifications work

August 5, 2020

A simple 3-step process

OK, you have decided to upgrade to a fully-featured, ANR communication system in your helmet – now what?

Step one: The Helmet

Are you buying a new helmet or retrofitting an existing one?

A Lightspeed ANR system can be installed into either a new or existing helmet. Lightspeed has crafted a network of dealers and installers to offer a wide variety of helmet brands and models that your ANR systems work well with. Most of today’s common and preferred models can be found offered by someone in this network.

Step two: The ANR

Identify the brand and model of the helmet you have or want. Once you have narrowed down the candidates for the helmet itself, select which of the two Lightspeed products is best for you. If you have a Gentex HGU-56/P helmet, there is a product we jointly developed with Gentex that is the solution for that helmet. For all others, the universal Zulu H-Mod is the correct solution. As with our history of premium active noise reduction in our headsets, both ANR for helmets solutions provide the same clarity you expect to come from Lightspeed.

Step three: The Install

Locate certified installers for your helmet selection on the Lightspeed certified installer listing here:

This is a global network of carefully screened and trained installers that will do a great job for you. Contact the installer(s) of your choice to start your path of having ANR in your helmet.

The installer will probably have you take a few measurements of your head to ensure you get the best overall fit including the ANR system.

As you know, helmet style and fit are very personal to each individual. So, getting the right measurements and adjustments from the beginning of this process are key to getting you what you need.

Once installed, you will enjoy years of improved comfort, noise reduction, audio clarity and features with the full confidence of knowing that Lightspeed is backing up the product with a factory authorized three-year warranty.

And lastly, let us know how you like the product, and tell your friends and colleagues about your experience. You can help other pilots experience the same great benefits you will experience!

If you have any questions about the product’s capabilities or the process for an installation, please contact our support team who are trained to give you the guidance to make the right decision.
