How should the microphone be positioned?

- Make sure the microphone is not blocked by the liner, cheek pad, or chin area.
- After reinstalling the liner or cheek pads, re-check the microphone position before riding.
My friends say they can’t hear me clearly. Can I fix it?
Poor voice clarity is often caused by microphone position or orientation. Check that the boom microphone is close to the mouth and that the small black triangle faces the rider’s mouth.

Rather than trying to reinvent the motocross helmet, it has reimagined what an off-road helmet can be when communication is treated as an integrated feature instead of an aftermarket accessory.
It feels like a singular, unified piece of engineering where protection and communication work in perfect harmony.
Having rider-to-rider communication in this situation isn’t just a convenience feature - it’s a safety one.
What makes the Venture interesting is that it suggests Cardo is looking at adventure, enduro, and motocross riders and asking a simple question: what if they're the people who need integrated communications the most?
The Venture could be a real winner.
For riders who spend serious time testing, coaching, training, or exploring off-road terrain, the Venture offers something genuinely different
