Icom SM28
Desktop Microphone with Built-in Pre-Amplifier
Professional Base Station Audio for IP Transceivers
The Icom SM28 is a specialized desktop microphone designed to provide high-clarity, base station-style audio for the IP501M mobile LTE transceiver. In dispatch and administrative environments, using a handheld mobile microphone can be cumbersome for high-volume communication. This desktop unit solves that ergonomic challenge by providing a stable, hands-free-capable interface with large, easy-to-operate switches, allowing dispatchers to manage their LTE network with the same efficiency as a traditional land mobile radio system.
Equipped with a unidirectional dynamic microphone element, the Icom SM28 is engineered to focus strictly on the operator’s voice while rejecting background noise from office equipment or other staff. The integrated pre-amplifier ensures a strong, consistent audio signal regardless of how far the operator is from the microphone head, maintaining natural voice quality across the LTE network. Built with Icom’s signature industrial durability, this microphone features a weighted base to prevent sliding during use and an IP54 weather-resistance rating, ensuring it remains a reliable tool for long-term professional service.
