The importance of clear and uninterrupted communication at sea can not be underestimated In many cases it is what separates success from failure. Weather conditions, surrounding noise, distance to coworkers - all factors potentially making clear communication difficult or impossible. The iriSound system combines your existing VHF/UHF radios with a State-Of–The-Art, waterproof intercom system enabling clear and trouble free communication under the most demanding conditions. iriSound is a highly advanced audio unit that processes all sound signals to and from external units whether they are headsets, external radio units or a recording and documentation system. The built-in intelligence allows for easy plug-and-play installation when used with other IWCS products – like the iriConnect for wireless headset communication, iriHS for wired headsets or iriSelect for complete system control and monitoring. iriSound’s rugged, cast aluminum enclosure and the IP67-rated connectors offer a fully waterproof exterior construction designed specifically for the harsh conditions onboard small and medium sized vessels, with freedom to install it either inside or outside. The electronics design is based on the newest 24bit/48kHz Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology, which offers superior sound quality and a broad range of software features like dynamic noise reduction, user controlled voice groups etc., some of which are offered as additional features. iriSound is available in various configurations matching your specific needs, while allowing for future extensions of functionality should your requirements change. The basic unit offers 4 audio channels, which can be configured freely between wired/wireless headsets and external radios. The most advanced version offers 10 audio channels. Multiple units can be interconnected to form even larger system configurations.

External Radios Being able to hear and respond to external communication via your onboard radios (marine VHF, Tetra System, Police radio etc) is equally important as being able to effortlessly communicate with your fellow crew-members. Our programmable and intelligent radio interface unit enables full audio integration of one or more external radios. All it requires is that the radio unit is equipped with an external audio interface. On request, we can provide a list of recommended marine VHF and Tetra radios. Please consult us if you have a specific radio you would like to interface to. Choose headset or helmet Our intercom solutions support full flexibility to chose the personal audio solution of your choice – an iriComm headset, an iriComm helmet with earcups or a 3rd party helmet using our iriInsert. Each solution can be either wired or wireless. Feel free to contact us for an in-depth discussion of your specific requirements, and to hear how a tailored iriSound system can improve your operational efficiency and safety for your crew.
