The Telecom MAU-CR-K-P is an earpiece microphone designed for discreet and comfortable communications with handheld radios using a two-pin Kenwood K1 connection.

Its ergonomic C-shaped earpiece rests over the ear without entering the ear canal. This design provides improved comfort during extended use while allowing the operator to maintain greater awareness of surrounding sounds.

The microphone is incorporated into a lapel-mounted module featuring a PTT — Push To Talk button and clothing clip. The handheld radio can remain attached to a belt or stored in a pocket while the transmit button is positioned within easy reach.

The cable features a woven fibre-fabric covering for increased resistance and durability. This construction helps avoid the deterioration commonly experienced by conventional rubber-covered cables after prolonged use.

Its K1 connection uses parallel 3.5 mm and 2.5 mm plugs, a format widely used by Kenwood and compatible handheld radios.

Important note

Before ordering, confirm that the radio uses the two-pin Kenwood K1 connector. Compatibility with a particular brand does not mean that every radio from that manufacturer uses the same connection.

The earpiece rests over the ear and does not enter the ear canal. It is not certified hearing protection and does not protect the wearer against high noise levels.
