For the development of these new 45 mm speakers Cardo worked together with JBL, and that is definitely an added value. With speakers and intercoms it is often a story that falters at the weakest link: technically good intercoms are nice, but often times, the sound flow is what makes the difference. JBL is an extra trump card in this respect. Without a doubt.
The Americans have been experts in speakers for more than 70 years. Link that with the passion that Cardo has for the being-on-the-motorcycle-and-staying-listening-and-talking (intercom for short) and you know that their cooperation takes everything to a higher, much higher, level. Without any weak links.
Thanks to their 3.5mm mini-jack connector these speakers are compatible with many types of intercoms. With intercom terminals of other brands even. However, the speakers come out best in combination with a Cardo Packtalk, Spirit or Freecom intercom. Owners of a Packtalk, Spirit or Freecom module can enjoy an extra boost from the specially developed JBL sound processor and firmware.
For Packtalk Intercoms you can even activate equalizer presets that were developed by JBL specifically for these speakers. You can activate these presets for your Packtalk via the Cardo Connect app. You do this by going to the settings of your Connect app, tapping the lock, to ‘Audio profiles’.
Before you buy anything crazy, check if these 45 mm speakers will fit in your motorcycle helmet. Measure the cutouts in your helmet: If the diagonal distance is 42 mm or more these speakers will fit problem-free.
