Standard Horizon Mic Extension Kit

The Standard Horizon Microphone Extension Kit (MEK-4) extends the front panel microphone on Standard Horizon QUANTUM Series radios, enabling flexible mic placement away from the radio's main unit. This 20-foot extension cable solution addresses a common requirement in marine and mobile radio installations where the radio transceiver must be mounted in an engine compartment, cabinet, or remote location while maintaining convenient microphone access at the operator's position.

The kit includes 20 feet of routing cable and a stainless steel panel mount bracket with mounting screws, allowing secure integration into dash panels, bulkheads, or console surfaces. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in marine environments where saltwater exposure is a concern. The cable length accommodates installations on vessels of various sizes and configurations, from center consoles to larger cabin cruisers, while the panel-mount design maintains a professional, integrated appearance without external clamps or surface-mounted hardware.

This extension kit is designed specifically for Standard Horizon QUANTUM Series fixed-mount marine radios, where separation between the control head and the radio itself is either required by installation geometry or desired for operational convenience. Marine radio operators working on commercial vessels, charter boats, and recreational watercraft commonly employ remote microphone extensions when wheelhouse layout or noise isolation requires the radio unit to be mounted away from the helm. The MEK-4 provides the factory-approved solution for these installations, ensuring full microphone functionality and compatibility without adapter improvisation.
