Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Radio solution for MSA Sordin (non boom mic)

I have a Nacre QuietPro that I use with dual Puxing 888 radios and I just love it. I have the version programmed and wired for use with PRC-148 radios; an adapter is required to convert from a U238 plug to a Kenwood 2-pin.

The QuietPro is a comms PTT/interface with active hearing protection and sound amplification. The unit is completely sealed and is IPX-8 rated I believe (it's not afraid of rain). Both the radio and the talk-through volume are independently adjustable. The sound amplification enables one to hear a snail pass wind at 100 paces if one so desires.

The QP uses in-ear active hearing protection with bone conduction microphones so it is incredibly low profile and comfortable (no hot ear cups or snags-on-everything boom mic). If you don't mind wearing foam earplugs then you will not be fussed by the QP.

QP units may still be found on evil-bay and various independent sellers in the price range of CDN $200-300 (costly but less expensive than a real Sordin headset). Avoid the units designed for use with the Motorola XTS series as it uses a proprietary radio connector which is compatible with nothing but the XTS series.
