B+COM" Series Intercom for Motorcycles B+COM SX1 to go on sale on April 19, 2024 (Friday)

Sign House Inc. (Headquarters: Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President: Takashi Arai), which plans, manufactures, and sells the B+COM series of intercoms for motorcycles, will release the new B+COM SX1 motorcycle intercom on Friday, April 19, 2024. The B+COM SX1 will go on sale on Friday, April 19, 2024.

B+COM SX1

B+COM SX1" is a built-in type motorcycle intercom compatible with "SHOEI COMLINK "*, which is exclusively designed for models compatible with the communication system independently established by SHOEI Corporation ("SHOEI"), known for its motorcycle helmets that pursue design, functionality, and safety performance. This is a motorcycle intercom.

While maintaining the sophisticated design of the helmet, it inherits the functions of the high-end model "SB6XR" and features B+COM's unique realistic conversation and easy operation with only the left hand, which minimizes the impact on riding.

Compatible with SHOEI's "NEOTEC 3" and "GT-Air 3" for smart installation.

*"SHOEI COMLINK".

A mechanism that does not significantly affect aerodynamic performance when a communication system is installed on a helmet by SHOEI Corporation, and also enhances harmony with the helmet design. The battery space is notched at the rear side of the helmet to allow charging while the helmet is placed on a flat surface when the communication system is installed. The inside of the helmet also has a structure designed for installation as before, including a groove for a microphone and space for a speaker.

Key Points of Appeal

(1) Seamless design with the helmet

Compatible with SHOEI COMLINK, an intercom attachment mechanism for SHOEI helmets. The stylish and thin case of the main unit, which has never been seen in previous B+COM products, is designed to be seamlessly integrated with the helmet. The main unit is shaped like an aero part to protect the cable connector. The position of the LED indicator, which is easy to see through the rearview mirror, is also carefully designed.

Seamless design with a sense of unity with the helmet

(2) Functions and operability inherited from B+COM DNA

One of B+COM's unique features is the overwhelmingly clear sound quality, which gives you the realistic feeling of being in close conversation with your fellow riders while riding. Inheriting B+COM's core concept of "intuitive and easy-to-use operability," the device buttons for volume and other adjustments are three-dimensionally designed to blend in with the helmet, making it easy to clearly feel the buttons even with gloves on.

Intuitive and easy-to-use operability

(3) Long battery life of up to 20 hours

B+COM, which used to have an integrated battery unit, is now separated into a main unit and a button unit to achieve both a slim design that fits in with the helmet and a battery life of up to 20 hours (*). Touring with friends, or even solo touring to distant places with overnight stay, can be enjoyed without worrying about the remaining battery charge time.

Intercom talk time: max. 18 hours, music playback time: max. 20 hours

If you are concerned about battery deterioration, we offer battery replacement service. (for a fee)

Battery that can be used for up to 20 hours

■Commitment to design

Haruki Tamura, Development Section 2, Product Department, Signal House Co.

The most important point was to make the B+COM SX1 as thin as possible to take advantage of the functionality of SHOEI COMLINK, and to make it possible to operate the three buttons in succession without making mistakes by feeling the buttons with your fingers, without looking at them with your eyes. The B+COM SX1 also features the device buttons that allow users to intuitively turn on and off the power and raise and lower the volume, which are the characteristics of B+COM.

B+COM SX1 Features

Easy and clear "B+LINK" calling function

Group calls can be made with easy operation

(1) Easy connection

Pairing for the first time can be done easily by the same operation for both of you and everyone else. After pairing, turn on the power and standby. All someone has to do is one-touch operation and group talk starts immediately.

(2) Clear sound quality

Conversations using "B+LINK" are less noisy, and the call quality is clearer and more natural. Riders can enjoy stress-free conversation with a sense of presence as if they were talking up close.

(3) Six-person call

Simply press the B1 and B2 buttons at the same time to start a smooth conversation.

(4) Automatic recovery

Even if communication with friends is cut off at a traffic light or in traffic jams, the automatic recovery function provides peace of mind. B+COM automatically reconnects as soon as both parties are in close proximity to each other, allowing you to return to the conversation.

Listen-Talk" for calls while listening to music or navigation

The SX1 is equipped with two Bluetooth chips, enabling both smartphone and B+COM voice communication. This makes touring more comfortable, as you can talk while listening to your favorite music, or while listening to the navigation system's directions.

■"Universal Calling Function" enables calls with intercoms manufactured by other companies

B+COM's universal intercom function enables connection with intercoms manufactured by other companies. Furthermore, the industry's only "Universal Intercom Receive" function allows calls to intercoms from other manufacturers while maintaining the connection to the smartphone.

*Connection may not be possible depending on the intercom system.

Premium Sound" with high-quality speakers

The B+COM series has been pursuing high sound quality since the first generation model, and the SX1's <B+COM SOUND SYSTEM> uses a high output Class-D amplifier and high sound quality speakers with a high magnetic force neodymium magnet to achieve clear sound quality and powerful sound pressure.

Hands-free calling" that starts instantly with a single push

By attaching the included arm microphone or wire microphone, you can make and receive hands-free calls from your smartphone while wearing a helmet. Even if you suddenly receive a phone call while touring, you can answer the call with a single push, eliminating the need to stop and take out your smartphone.

Audio Share" function for sharing favorite music and navigation audio with everyone

The "Audio Share" function allows users to share audio and music. You can choose between two modes, tandem and group, to expand your entertainment riding.

[Tandem mode]

Allows two riders and a passenger to listen to music or radio apps from a connected smartphone or other device in high-quality stereo sound.

The SX1, SB6XR, and SB6X can be used in "Listen-Talk" mode at the same time.

[Group Mode]

While making a group call, all members of the group can share audio from a connected smartphone or navigation system at the same time as the intercom call.

Monaural audio is used.

Smartphone application "B+COM U Mobile APP

The "B+COM U Mobile APP" smartphone application enables easy operation by visualizing B+COM pairing information and connection status. Just by selecting a member to ride with by operating one's smartphone, calls can be made immediately, making it easy to prepare for touring.

Smartphone application "B+COM U Mobile APP

Features, Specifications, and Operability

The B+COM U Mobile APP is designed to be simple and intuitive with only three buttons, inheriting the operability of the B+COM series.

Intercom calls and device operations are independent of each other, so only the device buttons need to be operated for everyday use or solo touring. When using the SX1, SB6XR, SB6X, or ONE, a B+LINK call can be initiated as soon as one person in the group presses the B1 and B2 buttons. During a "B+LINK" call, there is no need to operate any buttons throughout the call, making riding easy and convenient.

Voice Navigation to Enhance the Ride

The user is guided through the operational status of B+COM in easy-to-understand Japanese. When the power is turned on, a voice informs the user of the remaining battery level, and the voice navigation enhances the rider's pre-ride mood as if immersed in a science fiction world.

High waterproof performance

The button unit is highly waterproof to IP67 level (the standard that no dust can penetrate the inside of the unit and no harmful effects will occur even if the unit is immersed in water at a specified pressure for a specified period of time).

Voice operation is also possible with the smartphone's voice recognition function.

The voice recognition function of Siri or Google Assistant on a smartphone can be activated by operating the device button, allowing the user to make voice commands such as "What time is it? You can also use your voice to give instructions for various smartphone operations while driving, such as "What time is it?
