World’s smallest digital covert earpiece unveiled

The Phonito Nano by Phonak Communications is entirely invisible to the naked eye, ensuring the user’s cover and increasing the chance of operational success.

Available in beige or dark brown, the Phonito Nano covert earpiece is built around a new Hybrid audio chip and inductive technology. This approach offers users leading sound quality and allows Nano to be used alongside any existing inductive wiring loops a customer might own.

According to Phonak, the passive coil technology inside the Phonito Nano makes it less susceptible to interference. Following customer feedback from security professionals around the world, its ‘ground noise’ level has also been carefully optimized to ensure users hear enough ‘switched on’ buzz to feel confident their equipment is working, but not so much that communication is compromised.

“Phonito has long been established as the covert industry’s earpiece brand of choice and with the launch of Nano, we are once again raising the bar,” said Evert Dijkstra, Managing Director of Phonak Communications. “By reducing the earpiece’s size by 20% compared to Phonito Digital (which Nano replaces), we can offer covert professionals further improved in-ear comfort, and by boosting the receiver’s audio performance we are confident Nano will make missed commands a thing of the past.”

Phonito Nano is available with a wide range of radio connectors and inductive cabling kits, including:

  • Cobra: high-performance, quick-to-install single-wire covert kit that features a handheld waterproof wireless PTT, single inductive loop with integrated microphone and inline PTT.
  • Spyder LM: professional two-wire inductive kit featuring a single inductive loop with integrated microphone, separate durable 2-key PTT and junction box.
  • 3-wire: this traditional wiring kit is Phonak’s most customizable wiring system. Perfect for fitting inside a covert vest, it features a wired loop, wired microphone and wired PTT.
