Product Details
The Schuberth SC Edge ANC Communication Kit is the dedicated plug-and-play motorcycle communication system for the Schuberth C5 ANC flip-front helmet. Developed by Schuberth with Cardo Systems, it activates the helmet's integrated audio and antenna hardware, combining C5 ANC-specific active noise cancellation with Dynamic Mesh and Bluetooth intercom functions. The helmet is sold separately.
Why choose the SC Edge ANC?
- Motorcycle-specific active noise cancellation: Schuberth quotes up to 10 dB noise reduction at peak level in its 100 km/h naked-bike test. Actual reduction varies with motorcycle, screen, riding position, speed and conditions.
- Integrated 53 mm audio: designed to work with the C5 ANC helmet's large 53 mm HD speaker system for clear speech and audio.
- Second-generation Dynamic Mesh Communication: provides a self-managing mesh connection for compatible riders.
- Bluetooth 5.2: supports pairing with other Bluetooth intercom headsets and compatible devices.
- Long-distance intercom: quoted range of up to 1.6 km in open terrain. Buildings, traffic and landscape can reduce range.
- Natural Voice Operation: lets you control key functions by voice while keeping your hands on the controls.
- Live Intercom: designed to reconnect riders automatically if the connection is interrupted.
- Over-the-air updates: settings and software can be managed through the compatible mobile app on Apple iOS or Android.
Compatibility and installation
This ANC version is specifically intended for the Schuberth C5 ANC. The C5 ANC works exclusively with the SC Edge ANC communications system, so do not assume compatibility with the standard C5, E2, S3 or other Schuberth helmets that use different SC Edge or SC2 hardware. Check the exact helmet model before ordering.
The C5 ANC is prepared at the factory with its speaker and antenna architecture, allowing the electronics, microphone and controls to fit into the helmet's dedicated locations without a universal clamp mount. For a neat installation and a full function check, Moto Central can help confirm compatibility and fit the system to your helmet.
Helmet approval note
ECE-R 22.06 is a helmet approval, not a standalone certification for the electronics. Schuberth states that its compatible helmets are homologated with and without the approved communication system installed, which is why the correct model-specific kit matters.
