Cardo Packtalk Edge Product Description

The Cardo Packtalk Edge by Cardo is the brand new communication system by Cardo. Before we install the communication system in the Shoei X-Spirit 3 we will go over some general points of the Cardo Packtalk Edge.

The first thing we are going to mention is the Air Mount, you attach the Edge by holding it right in front of the mount and it automatically pops into the secure magnetic mount.

The Edge uses the second generation DMC which stands for Dynamic Mesh Communication. The second generation DMC connects even faster with other riders, you can connect to 15 other systems and stay in contact up to 1.6 kilometers away.

In addition, the Edge uses Bluetooth 5.2, which is the most advanced Bluetooth system available today. You can charge or fast charge the Edge using a USB-C connection where 20 minutes of charging will allow you to talk for 2 hours. To fully charge the Cardo Packtalk Edge it will need to be plugged in for two hours.

You can update the system over the Wi-Fi using the Cardo Connect app, so you no longer have to connect the Cardo to the computer or laptop to update it anymore which makes it a bit more user friendly.

 

Unboxing

When you open up the box, we immediately see the Cardo Packtalk Edge. When we take it out of the box we see the manuals, please read them carefully and keep them in case you need them! It tells you exactly how to operate the system.

Looking further we see a small black box, this contains:

• The Packtalk Edge holder
• A glue plate for under the holder
• A clamp for under the holder
• Cleaning cloths.
• 2 round velcro straps for the speakers
• 2 speaker boosters to move the speakers closer to your ears
• 2 speakers with sound by jbl, one with a short wire and one with a long wire
• 2 square Velcro bands for the microphone
• One wired microphone for full-face helmets
• A long hybrid microphone for system or open face helmets.

The clamp for the holder can be used for helmets with an edge smaller than 5mm and the glue plate for helmets with an edge thicker than 5mm. The wipes should be used to clean the helmet before you attach the holder with glue plate.
