This blog will provide a simplified guide on installing Intercom in a motorcycle helmet.

The subject of this post is motorbike intercoms, which possess a fascinating and extensive background in terms of technology.

Contrary to popular belief, the origin of intercom technology was not the telephone, but rather the speaking tubes.

Talking tubes were popular in commercial areas and had a design that resembled the concept of two cans connected by a string, often seen in children's cartoons.

By the end of the 1800s, engineers were responsible for installing a large number of these devices in office buildings. The most advanced versions could be found in about 25 different workspaces.

The Historical Roots

The development of speaking tubes was succeeded by telephones, which were used as intercoms to answer phone calls as technology advanced. As technology became more practical, many apartments from the 1950s to 1980s began to install the modern model of smart locks that is used today.

In urban areas like New York, especially in Brooklyn, it is common to press a button on the main entrance to alert the person you are visiting in their apartment. They would then press a button to unlock the door for you.

In today's world, the utilization of interactive systems is widespread and often accepted without question. However, there exists a group of individuals who specifically desire the inclusion of motorcycle helmet intercom features.

There are individuals who enjoy riding motorcycles.

Numerous discussions have been conducted regarding motorcycle helmet intercoms, with one of the main reasons being the lack of recognition it receives from many bikers in the community. Many people refrain from purchasing intercoms due to their high cost, but as we have previously demonstrated, one does not need to splurge in order to own one.

In this article, we are assuming that you currently have a motorcycle helmet (and if you don't, you should really get one), and we will guide you on how to add an intercom to your helmet.


Easy Guide on Installing Intercom in a Motorcycle Helmet

A helmet intercom system is comprised of a speaker (located near the ears), a microphone (positioned on the chin), and the wires connecting them (which run under the helmet lining).

Before installing a Bluetooth headset, it is important to keep in mind that it is very similar to one.

Examination

Prior to use, it is essential to carefully examine the interior of your helmet, as they come in a variety of sizes, shapes, crevices, and padding, as discussed in this article on different types of motorcycle helmets.

Locate the designated spot for speakers in the helmet where your ears typically rest. It is worth noting that modern helmets often have a specific section near the ear area specifically designed for speakers, making it easy to find.

Elimination

Remove the cheek pads from the helmet. Next, remove the remaining pads in order to apply an adhesive that will properly fit the intercom speakers.

Installing Speakers

Usually, there are two types of intercom speakers. Some have adhesive on them, while others have velcro attached to the back. Depending on the type you have, place the speakers into the designated pockets in your helmet padding.

Occasionally, the size of speaker items may exceed the dimensions of the bag. In such a scenario, adjustments will need to be made to the padding and the speakers will need to be attached using either glue or velcro.

In case your helmet does not have a designated speaker pouch, you can still attach your intercom speakers using glue Velcro. Simply place the Velcro on the side of your helmet and stick the speakers onto it. For added protection, make use of speaker covers that come with your intercom device.

Mount the Intercom

Typically, Bluetooth intercom systems for motorcycles come with two categories of mounts: the Clamp Mount and the Adhesive Mount.

Begin by placing your intercom on the side of your helmet, in the area of your cheek. Make sure it is positioned between the padding and the outer shell of the helmet, and secure it in place. If there are any gaps, you can use the provided rubber spacers to glue them in place.

In case you possess an oddly shaped helmet, you have the option to select the sticky mount.

Note the Required Position for Inserting the Microphone

As you are aware of the location of the audio speaker, it is necessary to assign the microphone placement accordingly.


To use the microphone, it is necessary to position it near your chin and allow enough room for handling.


To determine the size of the microphone and how the headgear fits on your head, use a pen or pencil and observe the positioning of the speaker. This will help you properly install the microphone.

Ensure Proper Fit of Microphone and Headgear Before Setting Up

Carefully create holes in the safety helmet in the right locations to allow for the placement of panel/retainer screws in order to secure the microphone. It is important to exercise caution during this step.

Microphone Setup

In order to mount the microphone inside the helmet, you should also use the screws mentioned earlier. After that, the next step is to insert the amplifier.

Hide the Wires Beneath the Padding

Using an appropriate tool, remove the inner lining of the helmet in order to insert the wiring. This step is crucial as leaving any wiring inside the helmet can cause issues while using it.
