LS2: the first intercom with artificial intelligence
LS2 Spectrum is the name of the new intercom unveiled by Midland and LS2 at EICMA. This event marked the official debut of the collaboration between the two prestigious brands, which together launch an innovative communication system connecting up to 4 users simultaneously, with a range of 1000 meters and noise cancellation powered by artificial intelligence.
LS2 and Midland announced their collaboration at EICMA 2024, the premier event for the motorcycle industry. The helmet and motorcycle gear manufacturer, along with its new premium partner Midland, introduced the LS2 Spectrum intercom at the Milan Motorcycle Show. The innovative spirit and shared values of both brands have been pivotal in creating this partnership, now official, with the product set to hit the market in spring 2025.
Advanced Technology for Communication
The LS2 Spectrum intercom stands out for its versatility, as it perfectly adapts to most models in the LS2 range, and for its groundbreaking AI-powered noise cancellation system, unmatched in the market. This technology significantly reduces background noise, such as wind or engine sounds, using an algorithm designed to identify and adjust these disturbances, ensuring clear and seamless communication at all times. Additionally, this new intercom boasts over 20 hours of active conversation time and features an innovative SSF design (Slim, Strong & Flexible). Its flexible external control keypad is created through co-injection of electronics and plastic, utilizing TPU—a material borrowed from professional ski boot manufacturing—and a three-element flexible PCB with an integrated antenna. This design adapts perfectly to helmet curves, is highly durable, and features IP67 waterproof protection. The LS2 Spectrum offers exceptional acoustic performance with its Share Music function and, most notably, 40 mm high-definition speakers by RCF, a professional audio systems manufacturer renowned for events like Lady Gaga’s and Andrea Bocelli’s concerts or legendary bands like AC/DC.
“Midland and LS2 share similar visions and goals, a commitment to remaining leaders in their fields by delivering the highest level of technical quality and maintaining competitiveness” says Davide Cantoni, Global Sales Director of Midland Europe. “Working with LS2 has challenged us to raise the bar in terms of technology and material design. LS2 Spectrum moves us forward and keeps us relevant across the entire industry."
Luca Porcelli, Marketing Director of LS2, adds: “We are thrilled to announce this strategic partnership with Midland. This collaboration is highly valuable for both companies as we leverage our respective strengths and expertise to deliver more innovative and efficient solutions to our customers. We believe that by working together, we will not only improve the quality of our products but also create new growth opportunities in a competitive market.”
The LS2 Spectrum intercom, utilizing the Universal Communication Solution standard for communication between devices from different manufacturers, will be available in spring 2025 at a price of €159 and will be compatible with all LS2 models.
