Intuitive, compact, 3-antenna avalanche transceiver with voice navigation

Highlights

  • Talks: Navigation through clear spoken instructions
  • Supports: Extremely intuitive operation helps gain life-saving seconds
  • Protects: Uses Smart Antenna technology to ensure you are found more quickly

ORTOVOX is setting out on a new, innovate path: The DIRACT VOICE is the world's first avalanche transceiver with integrated voice navigation and will reliably and quickly guide you to your buried companion in an emergency.

Clear, simple spoken instructions tell you what to do in every phase of your search and keep things calm when your partner’s survival is of the utmost importance. The display is exceptionally stable from first reception, which reduces stress in an emergency situation and helps speed up the search. The three-antenna device comes equipped with Smart-Antenna Technology, which analyzes the device’s location in the avalanche and automatically switches to the best transmitting antenna. This means you get up to double the range and will be found more quickly!

Thanks to its streamlined, logical design, the DIRACT VOICE is intuitive and easy to use, because using just one button you can quickly flag burial victims or switch to standby mode. Secondary avalanche protection automatically switches from search-and-standby mode to transmit mode to guarantee the searcher full protection. Even in extreme light conditions, the full-graphic, extra-large screen is easy to read and, thanks to clear instructions and a 360-degree real-time display, ensures intuitive user guidance in stressful situations.

This handy avalanche transceiver weighs in at just 210 grams, can be held securely when wearing gloves thanks to its rubberized grip zone, and fits easily into a hip pocket if it isn’t being worn in the quick-access carrying system which automatically pushes out the avalanche transceiver when unzipped. This way, the DIRACT VOICE is always quickly and safely to hand and instantly ready to use. As a backup, the RECCO® reflector integrated in the carrying system further increases your chances of being found.

The DIRACT VOICE comes with a rechargeable low-temperature battery that is especially long-lasting and environmentally friendly. Even at -20°C, the low-temperature battery provides a reliable power supply and, unlike normal batteries, it will not leak.

Thanks to the free ORTOVOX APP (Apple iOS & Android) you can get automatic software updates, extend your warranty by five years, and watch helpful video tutorials.

I was able to witness the difference in the speed of burial location of other beacons versus the Diract. Beginners using the Diract voice were easily able to keep up to experienced searchers, the voice command really allows you to keep your eyes on the search zone. The rechargeable battery lasted many days of use, really no issue in -30 January days. The range is not quite as good as others, and using proper search methods we found it keeps up no matter. Other transceivers I've used can lose the signal, but once the Diract is locked onto a signal it doesn't seem to lose it. Looking forward to using it again this winter!

As an Ortovox Ambassador, I find the design is super sleek and interface easy to use. It's easy to recharge and upgrade the software if needed. I'm really enjoying this beacon.

As a professional avalanche educator (both motorized and non-motorized) and an Ortovox Sled Team Ambassador, I have been incredibly pleased with the performance of the new Ortovox Diract Voice Avalanche Transceiver. I have been teaching rescue practices for many years and love the intuitive features that the DV offers. The fact that the transceiver speaks to the user takes so much anxiety out of the searching process and allows you to focus more on staying safe while keeping your eyes on the snow surface rather than a screen. The DV has a remarkable battery life...I have been using it for almost two months both as a teaching tool with multiple times of turning on and off as well as several days out in the backcountry while snowmobiling and touring. After two months of use, the battery is finally showing a life percentage below 80% (which is when Ortovox recommends you can now recharge it). It contains a lithium-ion rechargeable battery that is highly efficient at low temps. No more worrying about having to carry spare alkaline batteries with you. As far as the size and weight of the Ortovox DV...I feel it is a very comparable size-wise to many other devices. The simplicity of the screen is amazing. The DV keeps the function information very simple to not over-complicate things for the user. When the DV is switched into "Search" the processor begins the signal search and then goes into a course search. Arrows indicate the direction the user should travel according to flux lines produced by the "sending" transceiver and a voice also speaks to you to tell you whether or not you should go right or left. As you get closer, within "fine search" range the transceiver to reminds you to go down to the snow surface and will indicate if you were closer to the transmitting transceiver...this is when to slow down. I absolutely love this transceiver and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone in the market for a new 3 antenna transceiver.
