The newest top range intercom by Cardo listens to the name Packtalk Pro and is another update of the earlier released Packtalk Edge. The integrated crash detection, automatic switching on and off and the 45-mm JBL speakers are some of its most striking innovations.
From now on, your Cardo Packtalk Pro intercom system keeps a discreet eye out. Specifically designed for motorcyclists on public roads, there’s a sensor that follows the movements of your head, signalling the intercom when something goes wrong, resulting in an automatic emergency notice. It can be interesting to own something you never want to use.
What we do think – hopefully – you’ll enjoy using every day is the top of the line 45-mm JBL speaker set that is part of the standard equipment of the Packtalk Pro. The Americans have been experts in speakers for over 70 years now. Linked to the passion Cardo have for ‘being on the road and still being able to talk and listen’ – in short: intercom – then it should be clear that this collaboration lifts everything to the next higher, much higher level.
Cardo has equipped the Packtalk Pro with an automatic on/off system in order to fully optimise the ease of use and increase its comfort level even more.
All these novelties have been merged together with the top ingredients that were already present in a tight, compact and sharp package that can easily be attached to the side of your motorcycle helmet for you to then become quickly accustomed to it.

General remark: The world of electronics (which also includes intercoms, smartphones, GPS, etc.) is changing so fast that it is possible that some (outdated) devices are not compatible with each other in certain areas.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 and/or smartphones cause problems. A regular update of all electronic devices is therefore desirable to avoid problems as much as possible.
