{"product_id":"pci-trax-plus-stereo-intercom","title":"PCI TRAX Plus Stereo Intercom","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePCI TRAX Plus: true stereo, Bluetooth convenience and optional DSP noise reduction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood intercom audio makes a real difference in a noisy off-road vehicle. The PCI TRAX Plus combines true stereo sound, Bluetooth music and phone calls, digitally controlled VOX and dual audio amplifiers in an intercom designed for UTVs, sand cars and prerunners. Choose the Bluetooth and DSP version when reducing background noise in crew conversation is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor open vehicles, V8-powered cars and loud exhaust systems, our recommendation is to give the DSP-equipped version serious consideration. It brings the convenience of Bluetooth together with dedicated speech-noise processing, rather than asking you to choose between everyday enjoyment and practical crew communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy DSP is worth choosing for a noisy vehicle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDSP means Digital Signal Processing. On the DSP-equipped TRAX Plus, it is designed to reduce unwanted background noise in the intercom audio so crew voices are easier to distinguish. In a loud cockpit, the benefit is more than a nicer sound: driver and co-driver need to understand each other's instructions, navigation calls and warnings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePCI specifically recommends DSP for vehicles without a windscreen, V8 cars, loud exhaust systems and headset use. A front-panel control lets you switch DSP on when you need it and off when you do not. It is a useful feature for demanding off-road environments, not a substitute for correctly matched microphones, helmet audio and a sound installation. Noise reduction is not hearing protection and should not be read as a promise of silence in every vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoose “Bluetooth and DSP” for this feature.\u003c\/strong\u003e Parts 3519 and 3521 include DSP; Bluetooth-only parts 3518 and 3520 do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBluetooth music and calls, without a phone-to-intercom cable\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair a compatible phone or Bluetooth music device to enjoy wireless music and phone-call connectivity through the intercom. Dedicated Bluetooth volume adjustment and front-panel play\/pause and call-answer controls put these functions on the intercom, rather than requiring a wired connection from your phone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat makes TRAX Plus a particularly appealing choice for recreational off-road trips as well as crew communication: talk with your passengers and enjoy stereo music through compatible audio equipment. Bluetooth is included in every configuration listed here. It connects the phone or music device; it does not make the helmet\/headset cables wireless or replace a two-way radio. Use phone and music functions only when safe and appropriate for the activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrue stereo, not simply the same sound in both ears\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeparate left and right audio channels deliver stereo sound when used with compatible TRAX stereo headsets or helmet wiring. Dual audio amplifiers, digitally controlled VOX and increased RF filtering are further reasons to consider this intercom as a complete audio-system choice, not just another box on the dashboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the intercom unit, not a complete helmet or headset system. Select the required configuration and match the audio equipment before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoose Bluetooth or Bluetooth and DSP, then crew capacity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth, 4 Seat: PCI part 3518.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth, fifth-person capable: PCI part 3520.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth and DSP, 4 Seat: PCI part 3519.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth and DSP, fifth-person capable: PCI part 3521.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fifth-person option enables expansion to five occupants; the necessary cables are extra.

Headset\/helmet cables and the music cable are not included.

Existing four-conductor mono headsets and helmet kits do not connect directly to the five-conductor TRAX stereo cables. A suitable adapter may allow a mono connection, but it does not turn mono equipment into stereo. Use compatible TRAX stereo headsets or helmet wiring for the full stereo experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not assume compatibility from the plug shape alone. Send us the intercom, headset\/helmet kit and radio model details before selecting \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/intercom-cables\"\u003eintercom cables\u003c\/a\u003e or adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation and support in NZ and Australia\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePCI lists a 2.6A current draw and recommends a 5A fuse. Plan mounting position, power, cable routing and crew access before installation. Clear driver–co-driver conversation helps crews coordinate and navigate; a separate compatible two-way radio is needed for communication beyond the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarris Race Radios™ provides engineering, installation and repair support, helping match the intercom to the vehicle, crew and helmet audio.
