The Icom SM29 is a high-performance desktop microphone specifically engineered for Icom’s professional-tier mobile and base station radios. Featuring a high-quality unidirectional dynamic element, this microphone is designed to capture the operator's voice with exceptional clarity while minimizing distracting background noise from the surrounding environment. The Icom SM29 includes an integrated pre-amplifier, providing a strong and consistent audio signal that ensures your transmissions remain intelligible even in busy dispatch or administrative settings.
Designed for long-duration operation, the SM29 features a large, tactile Push-To-Talk (PTT) bar and a secondary PTT lock switch for continuous transmission requirements. Its robust, weighted base provides maximum stability on desktop surfaces, preventing the unit from sliding during use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this microphone require a separate power source? No. The SM29 draws the small amount of power required for its internal pre-amplifier directly through the microphone connector of the compatible Icom radio.
What is the benefit of a unidirectional microphone? Unlike omnidirectional microphones that pick up sound from all directions, a unidirectional microphone like the SM29 primarily picks up sound from the front, making it much better at ignoring office chatter or computer fan noise.
Is this compatible with Icom amateur (Ham) radios? The SM29 is specifically pinned for professional-series land mobile radios. While it uses an 8-pin modular connector, wiring configurations may differ from amateur models.
