How Silynx works - one control box, any headset, every radio
The Silynx ecosystem is modular by design. The headset, control box, and radio cable are three separate components connected by Quick Disconnect (QDC). Swap headsets between in-ear and over-ear. Swap radios by changing a cable. Your control box stays the same - and so do all its capabilities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Still looking for an answer?
What over-the-ear headsets does Silynx offer?
Silynx offers the PROTEGO SDR and PROTEGO PLT - modular over-the-ear headsets developed in collaboration with Sordin & Peltor. Both provide high-NRR hearing protection with Silynx audio integration for operators who prefer the traditional earcup form factor.
When should I choose over-the-ear instead of in-ear?
Over-the-ear headsets are preferred when maximum passive attenuation is required without electronic dependency, when the operator doesn't wear helmets or ballistic eyewear regularly, or when doubling up (in-ear + over-ear) for extreme noise environments like indoor ranges or artillery positions.
Can I use over-the-ear headsets with a helmet?
Yes, with helmet-compatible ear cup adapters. However, for operators who regularly wear ballistic helmets, in-ear headsets (PROTEGO In-Ear series) are recommended for better comfort, lower profile, and zero interference with the helmet shell.
What is the PROTEGO CANINE designed for?
The PROTEGO CANINE is the world's first canine tactical sound protection headset, developed in cooperation with one of the world's leading canine tactical units. Designed to fit the head shape of German Shepherds and related breeds, it provides sound protection to the working dog while operating simultaneously on two networks - one for constant environmental hearing for the operator and another to maintain an open verbal command channel. The PROTEGO CANINE connects to any Silynx PTT/control system via Quick Disconnect Connector (QDC).
Can I combine over-the-ear and in-ear for maximum protection?
Yes. Layering a PROTEGO over-the-ear headset over Silynx in-ear plugs (like PROTEGO PRO) provides combined attenuation for extreme noise environments - indoor ranges, breaching operations, and artillery positions.
Are the ear cushions replaceable?
Yes. Ear cushions are a user-replaceable consumable. Contact Silynx for replacement cushion kits compatible with your specific PROTEGO model.
