Autocom history
As soon as you meet Autocom's
Managing Director Tom Beman it's clear that he's a man who is passionate about Motorcycling... He's raced
and toured on bikes and uses them as his everyday transport whenever possible...
In 1989 Tom decided that he'd like an intercom system for his own bike so that he could talk to his frequent passengers...
"Simple" he thought, so he and his partner rode to the nearest bike shop and bought a rider / passenger system as recommended by the shop. They fitted it to their helmets there and then
before setting off for home again...
When they got home Tom
telephoned the shop to tell them that his new intercom system must be faulty, because as soon as he reached open roads and speeds over 30mph the system became
totally useless!
They returned to the shop and were given a new system, however the result was the same! They even tried other systems but always achieved the same results.
At this stage most of us would just give up or accept that when you're travelling at speed on a bike the wind noise is bound to override and even cancel out the volume of your speech...
But not Tom Beman...
As a highly proficient electronics designer, Tom decided that if he couldn't get what he wanted off the shelf, he would
have to design and manufacture a system for his own use and that's precisely what he did!
His brainchild was the first high quality noise cancelling
motorcycle intercom system and it worked so well that Tom soon realised that there must be many fellow motorcyclists who would benefit from his
new system.
Hence Autocom was born and in a nutshell:
Today, Autocom Products
Limited has evolved into world's premier motorcycle communication system
manufacturer.
