Product Information
Full details
This Cardo Audio Set in Black is designed for motorcycle riders seeking an immersive audio experience, particularly those looking to upgrade their sound system with premium JBL quality. Its key benefit is delivering superior, high-resolution sound optimized for riding conditions. A potential caveat is that the JBL activation for non-JBL compatible models (SPIRIT, SPIRIT HD) requires a one-time QR code scan, making it non-transferable. The set includes 45mm JBL speakers with a 42mm slim base, Velcro, thickness adjustment pads, and replacement covers for easy maintenance.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the 45mm JBL speakers?
The main advantage is the superior, high-resolution audio quality developed with JBL, optimized for motorcycle riding conditions, providing clearer and more immersive sound.
Can I use the JBL activation QR code on multiple devices?
No, the QR code within the JBL Activation Guide is a one-time use code and can only be used to activate JBL sound profiles on a single device (SPIRIT or SPIRIT HD).
Are these speakers compatible with any Cardo communication system?
These speakers are compatible with Cardo PACKTALK and FREECOM series. For SPIRIT and SPIRIT HD series, a software upgrade via the Cardo app is required to enable full JBL sound.
What does it mean that the speakers are 'optimized for motorcycle riding'?
It means the sound profile is specifically tuned to counteract common motorcycle noises like wind and engine sound, ensuring clarity for music, calls, and navigation.
How do I replace the speaker covers?
The set includes replacement covers. You can gently remove the old covers and attach the new ones to maintain the speakers' appearance and protection.
Will these speakers fit in any helmet?
The 45mm speakers have a 42mm slim base, making them compatible with most modern motorcycle helmets. However, fit can vary, and the included pads help achieve a custom fit.
Do I need to update my Cardo unit's software to use these speakers?
While the speakers will function with older firmware, updating your PACKTALK or FREECOM unit's software is recommended for maximum audio performance.
Troubleshooting
No sound from speakers
Ensure speakers are properly connected to the Cardo unit and that the unit is powered on and connected to your phone/device. Check volume levels in both the Cardo app and your connected device. Verify that the correct audio profile is selected in the Cardo app if applicable.
JBL sound not activating on SPIRIT/SPIRIT HD
Ensure you are using the JBL Activation Guide specific to your model found within the Cardo app. Confirm that the QR code has not been previously used. Make sure your Cardo unit has the latest firmware installed.
Speakers fit uncomfortably or are too loose
Use the included thickness adjustment pads to customize the fit. Experiment with different pad placements to achieve optimal comfort and speaker positioning.
Sound quality is poor or distorted
Check that the speakers are correctly positioned within the helmet and that no external factors are obstructing the sound. Update your Cardo unit's firmware to the latest version, as this can optimize audio performance.
