Bulletin #4 of 2016

ALL KIRBY MORGAN® HELMETS & BAND MASKS® WILL NOW USE THE SAME EARPHONES AND MICROPHONE.
Kirby Morgan® has changed the “early design” helmets and Band Masks® (listed above) over to the same mics and earphones used in our most current helmets.

For example, the SuperLite® 17B helmet will soon begin shipping with the 515-029 mic, 515-018 Right Earphone & 515-019 Left Earphone – the same as those used in the current 27, 37, 37SS, 47, 97 etc.

Standardization is made easy because the two types of mic & earphones are nearly identical, the only difference being that the most current design has shrink tubing on the terminal end of the wire that can help protect against shorting out. Wire lengths have always matched.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
