Clear Communication for Midland Two-Way Radios, Even in High Noise

    If you use a Midland two-way radio in a noisy environment, such as riding, security details, event operations, or outdoor work, a standard speaker mic quickly gets drowned out. The IASUS NT5 throat microphone solves that by picking up your voice directly from vocal cord vibration instead of the air around you. No wind, engine noise, or crowd noise in the way. Just clear transmission.

    This page covers which NT5 configuration fits your Midland radio, how to set it up, and what else you need to get on the air.

    The NT5, Midland Dual Pin ($197.25) is the direct match for Midland radios with the standard dual pin audio accessory connector. This covers most Midland handhelds, including the LXT, GXT, and CXT series.

    How to Set Up Your NT5 With a Midland Radio

    1. Connect the dual pin adaptor to your radio’s accessory port.
    2. Fit the throat strap comfortably around your neck so the transponders sit softly against your skin.
    3. Position the transducers on your voice box (where vibrations are strongest) and adjust until volume and clarity peak. Placement varies by person.
    4. Use the inline PTT button to transmit or PTT on the radio. Some Midland models need the audio accessory mode enabled in the radio menu first.

    What Else Do You Need?

    The NT5 Midland Dual Pin ships with everything needed to transmit: strap, dual pin adaptor, and an inline PTT button. There are optional earpieces you can choose from:

    And add an optional extended Finger PTT ($25)

    FAQ

    Will this throat mic work with my Midland GXT1000?
    Yes. The GXT1000 uses the standard dual pin connector, so the NT5 Midland Dual Pin plugs straight in. Please check your unit though to confirm.

    Does it work with LXT and CXT radios too?
    Yes. Most Midland LXT, GXT, and CXT handhelds use the same dual pin connector, so the same NT5 configuration covers them.

    Do I need anything else to use it?
    No. The NT5 Midland Dual Pin ships with the strap, dual pin adaptor, and inline PTT button. Add an acoustic coil earpiece, earbuds or helmet speakers if you need to hear incoming audio.
