The best companion for outdoor communications with your HAM friends in war game, paintball, training, hunting, motorcycles. Perfect for security/surveillance purposes too.
This throat mic is VOX ready and could work with all Talkabout VOX models.
With this 2-wire throat mic, you could get rid of the background noise when communicating with your partner. Different from the traditional microphone which transmits sound wave in the air, the throat mic absorbs vibrations from the throat and transmits them to the two-way radio. The magic comes like this:
Mechanical vibration from throat => electric signal => transmitted to radio transceiver
Since the microphone transmit directly from your throat, it is not sensitive to your background noise. This is exceptionally ideal for usage in high ambient environment such as driving, riding motorcycles and bicycles.
With the best-quality transparent acoustic tube that could hardly be detected by people around you, this is also ideal for surveillance purposes and security at airports, casinos, crowd control at conventions and concerts, and other working environment requiring discreet communications. The throat mic could be easily hidden under the collars too.
Here are other exceptional features of the Throat-Vibration Mic:
-- Excellent Sound Quality: You may found cheaper throat mic in the market, but sound quality tells the difference. This throat vibration mic and earphone has excellent sound quality in both transmission and reception. We have tested a number of similar products and this one is simply the best in transmitting voices in their authentic tones.
-- Snug Fit Transparent Earbud: The earbud is designed in a way that fits your ear canal and it is hardly detected by people around you.
-- Fine Transparent Acoustic Tube: Connecting directly from the throat receiver, it is perfect for discreet communications.
-- VOX ready: When using VOX, you don't need to spare another hand to click on the PTT. The VOX is very sensitive. It detects your voice in a snap and in just one second your voice will be transmitted.
