Achieve Mission-Critical Clarity in Extreme Environments

Communicate with absolute precision through your MIRA Safety gas mask, even amidst high noise, adverse weather, or CBRN threats. The MIRA Safety Gas Mask Microphone is the essential upgrade for seamless tactical communication, replacing your mask's standard exhalation valve cover in seconds—no tools required. Featuring advanced noise-canceling technology powered solely by your voice, it integrates flawlessly with your existing comms gear.

Engineered for Reliable Performance Under Duress

  • Superior Noise-Canceling Clarity: Dynamic moving-coil microphone design actively reduces ambient noise (gunfire, machinery, wind) for intelligible voice transmission without external power.
  • Universal Tactical Compatibility: Choose your connector: 2-pin NEXUS U-173/U (Peltor, Ops-Core headsets) or 3.5 mm jack (compatible with MIRA VPU-1 & standard comms). Pivoting cable ensures ambidextrous use.
  • Rapid, Tool-Free Installation: Directly replaces the exhalation valve cover on compatible MIRA Safety respirators (CM-6M®, CM-7M®, CM-8M®, TAPR®) in seconds. Maintain full mask protection.
  • Extreme Environmental Durability: Operates from −33 °C to +71 °C (−27 °F to +160 F). IP67—completely dust-tight and withstands temporary submersion (≈1 m/30 min); routine immersion not recommended.
  • Battlefield-Proven Resilience: Heavy-duty polymer housing with serviceable parts (spares available). Designed to MIL-STD-461G (EMI) and MIL-STD-810G (environmental); CBRN per ČSN EN 140; UL 94 V-2 flame retardant; CE (PPE 89/686/EEC; EMC 89/336/EEC).
  • Unmatched Longevity: Rated for >30,000 hours MTBF—built for years of dependable service.
  • Lightweight & Low Profile: Total weight approx. 50 g (less than 2 oz.)—minimal impact on mask ergonomics.
  • Country of Origin: Made in the Czech Republic.

Why Tactical & Safety Professionals Demand This Microphone
