FEATURES & BENEFITS
Combining robust, military-grade engineering with the ultra-smooth breathing experience known from Apeks regulators, the MTX-RC twin-cylinder set dives its own way. Featuring the same freeze-resistant technology found across the entire MTX-R range, the MTX-RC resists free-flowing even in the coldest temperatures, while offering the user the additional flexibility to adjust it for comfortable breathing in less extreme environments. This is achieved through an innovative first stage design that protects the regulator from freezing, and a full set of second stage user controls to fine-tune breathing performance to meet individual diver needs.
FEATURES
FIRST STAGE:
Satin brass body with heat-exchange fins for maximum thermal performance. The innovative first stage end cap and ambient diaphragm help prevent ice build-up that can cause first stage free-flow in extreme conditions. The grooved diaphragm improves heat exchange in cold water conditions. Unique over-balanced diaphragm design: as the diver descends, the over-balance feature allows the medium-pressure gas in the hose to increase at a faster rate than ambient. The result is superior performance at depth. 5 medium-pressure ports, 4 of them mounted on a rotating turret for improved hose routing. 2 x angled high-pressure ports for optimal hose routing and transmitter placement. Dual swivel hose for greater freedom of movement and comfort. Easy-grip DIN handwheel or overmolded YOKE handwheel — only one hand needed to release it. Available in DIN, YOKE and M26 thread, 300 bar, 232 bar and M26 300 bar (O2) respectively. Tested for Octopus use — EN250A up to 60 meters in cold water. Nitrox/Oxygen compatible — Up to 40% O2 outside the EU (European Union); within the EU, anything above 21% O2 must use an M26 connection.
SECOND STAGE:
Protective bumpers to protect the second stage from impacts and scratches in the most vulnerable areas. Ergonomic and easy-to-use Venturi lever. Oversized breathing effort adjuster makes adjustment easy in cold water while wearing gloves. Large purge button. Reversible second stage for left or right gas supply configuration. A heat exchanger (patented) dissipates the cold caused by gas expansion while drawing heat from the surrounding water for more comfortable breathing. Features an innovative changeable exhaust system (DCE). The system gives the diver the option to switch from a small exhaust T to a large exhaust T. The regulator is supplied with both sets of exhaust Ts. Comfo-bite mouthpiece. Braided nylon flexible hose, which performs better in cold water than the traditional rubber hose. Designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom. No single-use plastic in the packaging.
