CrewPlex is no stranger to hands-free communication systems. Their new DR10 wireless headset combines the performance of a proven system with an all-new fit and package.
The DR10 All-In-One Wireless headset was built using the platform of CrewPlex’s beltpack system, but now without the wire. “It combines the great sound quality and range performance of the proven DR10 system with the comfortable fit, noise isolation and flip-up microphone muting technology of the SmartBoom PRO headset,” says Debbie Hamby, vice president of marketing for CrewPlex.
CrewPlex also focused on making the headset capable of withstanding harsh conditions, knowing that operators need reliable communication in all environments. It is IP-54 rated, so users can trust it’s water and dust resistant. “The CrewPlex All-In-One is an excellent addition to any stormwater, wastewater and/or underground infrastructure maintenance crew that requires a reliable, great sounding comms system,” Hamby says. “It has excellent wireless coverage that delivers a strong performance even in the toughest and loudest work environments.”
According to Hamby, users appreciate how easy the headsets are to use and comment on how clear communications come through. “Workers need to be able to put on the headset and go to work without experiencing a learning curve,” Hamby says.
The headset’s all-in-one design features an easy-to-read OLED display and supports up to 10 full-duplex users, including unlimited listen-only and shared users. The DR10 All-In-One uses Li-poly field replaceable batteries that provide up to 14 hours of life in the dual-ear and seven hours for the single-ear model.
To charge, CrewPlex designed a drop-in charger for the All-In-One headset and Hamby says it makes charging easy and efficient. “The entire headset can be placed on the charger without having to remove the battery or plug in a cord,” she says. The charger holds up to six individual headsets and users can also charge up to six additional batteries simultaneously. Users may also charge using a USB-C port if needed.
CrewPlex took weight into consideration when engineering as well, knowing that long days with a heavy headset on is less than desirable. Single-ear models with battery weigh 9.7 ounces and the dual-ear model with battery installed weigh 13.8 ounces.
DR10 All-in-One headsets can be added to networks of existing DR10 and MR10 systems from CrewPlex, so those using other CrewPlex products can integrate seamlessly. And when the headset is not in use, they collapse for easy storage and transportation. 334-321-1400; www.crewplex.com
