Discover Sena’s Audio Multitasking Feature: A Revolution for Your Riding Experience

February 28, 2024

As a motorcyclist, you know how crucial it is to stay focused while having access to the necessary information for safe and enjoyable riding. With Sena’s new Audio Multitasking feature, you can now manage multiple audio sources simultaneously, transforming your riding experience. Whether you’re making a call, following GPS instructions, or chatting with communication partners, you can do all this while listening to music. Discover how this innovative feature can enhance your daily rides.

What is Audio Multitasking?

Audio Multitasking is an advanced feature that allows you to listen to two audio sources at the same time. Specifically, when this function is activated on Sena models 50S, 50R, 50C, 30K, Impulse, and Stryker, you can simultaneously hear phone calls, GPS instructions, and intercom conversations while continuing to enjoy music or GPS instructions from your smartphone app at a reduced volume.

How Does Audio Multitasking Work?

  • Real-Time Volume Adjustment: You can adjust the volume of the main audio source (e.g., music or GPS instructions) directly through the helmet. When you increase or decrease this volume, the volume of the secondary audio source (like calls or intercom instructions) will adjust accordingly, allowing you to maintain an optimal balance between different sound sources.
  • Precise Control with Sena Software or App: The amount of background sound is adjustable via Sena’s software or app, allowing you to customize your audio experience according to your preferences and needs.
  • Audio Source Management: If you receive an intercom call while listening to music, music sharing will be temporarily suspended. Additionally, Intercom HD and Voice HD functions will be disabled when Audio Multitasking is activated to ensure optimal audio performance.

Benefits of Audio Multitasking for Motorcyclists

  • Enhanced Focus: By allowing simultaneous listening to multiple audio sources, you can stay focused on the road while receiving important notifications such as GPS instructions or phone calls.
  • Customized Audio Experience: The ability to adjust the volume of different audio sources lets you create a personalized sound experience that meets your specific needs, whether for clear navigation or enjoyable music.
  • Flexibility and Comfort: You can easily manage your audio sources without interrupting your ride or handling complex controls, thereby increasing your comfort and safety on the road.

Important Considerations

  • Temporary Deactivation of Certain Features: When Audio Multitasking is enabled, the Intercom HD and Voice HD functions are temporarily disabled. You will also need to turn your helmet off and on again for the feature to work correctly.
  • Compatibility with Some GPS Devices: Note that some GPS devices may not support this feature, so it’s advisable to check compatibility with your specific device.
  • Settings and Restart: Ensure you restart your helmet to guarantee optimal functionality of Audio Multitasking.

Conclusion

Sena’s Audio Multitasking feature represents a significant advancement for motorcyclists seeking to enhance their riding experience by managing multiple audio sources simultaneously. By improving flexibility, comfort, and focus, this feature allows you to make the most of your rides, whether solo or in a group.
