This version of Sena’s most recent intercom systems has been specifically designed to fit (on/in) the SHOEI NXR2 motorbike helmet. It ‘falls’ apart in two units: battery on one side, the intercom itself attached to the other side to let the careless rides begin.
Especially that last part of the sentence is what matters. Harman Kardon speakers guarantee just about the perfect sound and the SRL-EXT is fully equipped with everything previous motorcycle-specific versions brought to the table. Mesh Intercom™ is an important function, besides Bluetooth 5 and direct access to Siri or Google Assistant. Also present: 4-way Bluetooth® Intercom and Advanced Noise Control™.
The SRL-EXT fits the SHOEI NXR2-motorcycle helmet seamlessly. The shape of the intercom module and the external battery are bent in order to support the outer curvature of the motorbike helmet. You can choose between an attachment with self-adhesive material or a clamping system.
Multichannel communication & private conversations
The SRL-EXT offers not one but three different intercom settings available to Sena riders: Open Mesh Intercom™ with different channels, Mesh Intercom™ with groups and Bluetooth Intercom.
Multi-channel Open Mesh Intercom (Open Mesh) is the first Mesh Intercom™-channel system in the industry. Just like with standard hand or CB radios, users can switch between nine different channels when working in the Open Mesh-modus. With Open Mesh, one push of the button offers the possibility to connect with the Mesh Intercom™ network. This also supports an almost limitless number of users within a range of maximally 8km (at least 6 riders @ 1,6km intervals). With this ease of connection, enormous user capacity, outstanding range AND the addition of the nine-channel function, the SRL-Mesh Open Mesh Intercom modus is definitely a gamechanger for large groups/club rides.
If you prefer a private group conversation, you simply switch to the intercom setting Group Mesh. Group Mesh supports a single, closed group of maximally 24 speakers in the same range as Open Mesh. To warrant privacy, only invited users can participate in the Group Mesh conversation. Whichever of these two Mesh Intercom™ setting you choose, you will enjoy the robust reliability integrated in the Sena Mesh network.
The traditional four-way Bluetooth Intercom modus is still an option to connect with other Sena Bluetooth-compatible users within a 2km range. Moreover, SRL-Mesh users can connect to a Sena Bluetooth Intercom user and ‘bypass’ them in a Mesh Intercom™ conversation.
General note: The world of electronics (which also includes intercoms, smartphones, GPS, etc.) changes so quickly that it is possible that some (outdated) devices are not compatible with each other in certain areas. Unfortunately, the manufacturer can't provide us with data that shows which combinations between intercoms/GPS's and/or smartphones cause problems. A regular update of all electronic devices is therefore desirable to avoid problems as much as possible.
