Installation into Full-Coverage & Flip-front Style Helmets
The full-coverage type of helmet presents special challenges for headset instal-
lation. If you do not feel you are up to the task, you may send your "un-modi-
fied" helmet to our factory in Tucson and we will perform the installation for a
nominal fee. (Please call first to insure that J&M is able to install a headset
into your particular brand/model of helmet.)
1. Most full coverage-style helmets have cheek pads or a complete nose sec-
tion that can be removed. Carefully do so at this time, paying special attention
so as not to break or damage any of the polystyrene parts.
2. Using a headset speaker as a guide, mark the circular pieces of styrene to
be removed from the back of the ear area of the nose section or the cheek pad.
See Figure 7. With an Exacto®knife, cut a hole slightly smaller than the speak-
er so that the speaker will "press fit" into the hole without damaging the
styrene. An airtight seal is necessary to preserve bass response as the sound
pressure from the back of the speaker housing should not be allowed to mix
with the sound pressure from the front. Also, be careful not to cut or damage
the fabric lining.
3. Locate an area in the nose section just to the left of center to mount the
microphone. See Figure 8. Make sure that this placement will not interfere with
any venting mechanisms or other parts of the helmet upon re-installation of the
nose section.
Using an Exacto®knife, cut a hole of sufficient size to allow the microphone
to be mounted through the nose section and be pressed against the inside
shell. See Figure 9. Insert the microphone cartridge through the hole from the
back side, install the rubber boot and push the mike back into the hole from
the front side. See Figure 10.
If the helmet is the flip-front style: Position the boom microphone clamp on
the left side of the helmet so that the microphone lines up with the wearer’s
mouth. Tighten the clamp with the rubber spacer in place. See Figure 13 —
Flip-Front.
4. Place the speakers into the cheekpads. See Figure 11.
5. Clean the inside of the helmet shell where the speakers and microphone will
be positioned with a cloth dampened with alcohol. Peel the backing from each
supplied Velcro pad and press it into the proper position for the speakers and
microphone to contact when the helmet is re-assembled.
6. Reinstall the nose section and/or cheek pads. Push the speakers and micro-
phone firmly against the Velcro®pads.
7. Mount the clamp in the proper position on the left bottom edge of the hel-
met and tighten the clamp with the rubber friction spacer in place. See Figure
13.
8. Using the included wooden tool, be careful to push the wires into the gap
between the helmet liner and shell. See Figure 14.
Notes: When using your intercom system, regardless of headset brand or type, it is impor-
tant to turn the intercom volume level high enough for comfortable conversation, but not
any higher. Unnecessarily high intercom volume levels will only increase the unwanted wind
and background noise you may experience.

Installation into a 3/4-style Helmet
1. Begin by examining the ear pocket area in your hel-
met. Make sure that there is sufficient room to mount
the speaker in the ear pocket. If you will be mounting
the J&M DynaPort®speakers also make sure that you
can position the porting tube down along the seam in
the cheek pad. See Figure 1. (It is important to have
the helmet fit and feel the same after the speakers
are mounted as it did before the headset was
installed.) The porting tube should be positioned to
allow the sound pressure from this tube to be direct-
ed out of the ear pocket. This will help enhance bass
response.
Some three-quarter style helmets, Shoei and HJC,
for example, have ear pockets that are a bit too small
for the speaker to be properly placed. In this case fold
out the interior lining and with an Exacto®knife care-
fully remove a very thin "half moon" of polystyrene to
allow the speaker to be positioned slightly higher and
deeper into the ear pocket. See Figures 3 and 4. This
should keep the speaker from contacting your ears.
Be careful to remove only the minimum amount nec-
essary, no more than 1/4 of an inch.
Once you have made room for and/or positioned
the speakers, remove them.
2. Clean the bottom of each ear pocket with a cloth
dampened with alcohol. Peel the backing from the
supplied Velcro®pads and press them into the bottom
of each ear pocket.
3. Position the boom microphone/amplifier clamp
assembly on the left side of the helmet so that the
microphone lines up with the wearer’s mouth. Mark
this position. See Figure 2.
Tighten the clamp to the helmet with the rubber fric-
tion spacer in place.
4. Position the speakers in their proper place in the
ear pockets and press them firmly onto the Velcro®
pads.
5. Pull the large or small wind sock (which-ever you
prefer) over the microphone.
6. Using the enclosed wooden tool, carefully push the
speaker wires into the gap between the helmet liner
and shell. See Figure 6.
