This is perfect for car-to-car drills where both cars have an instructor or coach in the right seat. The instructor can dictate when the other car(s) can hear you. In this mode all incoming phone audio goes to both driver and passenger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(231, 237, 19);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePTT Local Mute:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e In this mode the instructor\/passenger decides where their mic goes.

We spend hundreds of Engineering hours perfecting our digital audio path for voice enhancement. We spent months and several prototype cycles perfecting the internal structure of the LapCast to remove anything that could cause any interference in the audio path and refined to the point that our audio connectors are soldered directly to the PCB. No wires at all!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wireless audio path uses high-fidelity Wide Band Speech technology supported by pretty much any phone. This ensures even your car-to-car audio is crystal clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e We use a battery 4x the size of the competition!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe internal battery in the Lap Cast In Car Communicator is a high-quality 18650 cell, and we estimate that for the average user a battery will last a full season. Should be about 40 hours with Bluetooth connected and 80 hours without.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow Battery warnings are provided via LED indicator on the unit, as well as a [noninvasive] low-battery tone in the headsets so you'll have plenty of warning before your unit dies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHeadsets?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eWe built IMSA jacks right into the Lap Cast. No proprietary connector, no flying-leads. Simple, clean, MIL Spec IMSA jacks. This is the biggest cost driver of the Lap Cast but we think it's worth it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are currently developing a headset to lead the competition in sound quality and volume but feel free to use other headsets, or your built-in helmet coms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e is another area the Lap Cast really shines. We're using a high quality, anodized 7 series Aluminum frame to create the structure of the Lap Cast. This in conjunction with high quality connectors, wire assemblies, and a single piece PCB assembly, as well as internal mechanical packaging ensures the Lap Cast will be far more durable than the competition. No more broken wires, no more floppy 9V battery, no more fussing around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cimg\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flight Motorsports","offers":[{"title":"Single Lap Cast","offer_id":45175107649719,"sku":null,"price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Car-to-Car Kit","offer_id":45175107715255,"sku":null,"price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spare Headset","offer_id":48428049170615,"sku":null,"price":74.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/5187\/2695\/files\/38040b13-2ae9-441d-a8ad-99529da8292b.jpg?v=1777662997","url":"https:\/\/flightmotorsports.com\/products\/lapcast-in-car-communicator","provider":"Flight Motorsports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
