Lightweight Single-Ear Headset with Swivel Boom Microphone and VOX

The Motorola PMLN6538A is a lightweight, single-ear headset designed for comfortable hands-free communication with compatible Motorola portable two-way radios.

Its adjustable over-the-head design positions one padded earpiece over the ear while leaving the other ear open for improved awareness of surrounding activity. A swivel boom microphone can be positioned close to the user’s mouth for clear voice transmission.

The PMLN6538A supports VOX voice-activated operation with compatible, properly configured radios. This model does not include a dedicated in-line push-to-talk button, so transmission is controlled through VOX or the radio’s PTT button.

Single-Ear Listening

The single-muff design delivers incoming radio audio to one ear while leaving the opposite ear uncovered. This allows users to monitor communications while remaining aware of nearby coworkers, equipment, alarms, and other environmental sounds.

Swivel Boom Microphone

The adjustable boom positions the microphone near the user’s mouth to support clear voice transmission. It can be moved as needed for comfort and convenient storage.

VOX-Capable Operation

When VOX is enabled and properly configured on a compatible radio, the headset can activate transmission in response to the user’s voice. VOX performance depends on microphone positioning, radio programming, and surrounding noise levels.

PTT Operation

The PMLN6538A does not have a dedicated push-to-talk button built into its cable. When VOX is not being used, the user must press the PTT button on the connected radio to transmit.
