Brea, CA – February 2023 – Most communication accessories for two-way radios and cellular devices are either professional-grade for uses in commercial sectors and surveillance, or tactical-grade for SWAT, law enforcement, military, and other operations. Though some companies make both, PRYME is one of the rare few who not only manufactures a complete line of tactical and pro-grade products, but also makes professional accessories that are upgradable to heavy duty tactical versions.

Dave George, president and chief technologist of PRYME said, “Our tactical headsets and microphones are designed to be extra heavy duty, are dust resistant and waterproof, or meet P67 standards. In addition, many of our pro-grade speaker microphones, headsets and PTT buttons can be converted into tactical units.”

For example, PRYME’s Patriot behind-the-head boom mic headset can be upgraded to heavy duty, and the Hockey Puck PTT (push-to-talk) is offered in both professional-grade and waterproof tactical versions. The PTT Switch is especially unique in that it enables you to communicate via a microphone or headset with the press of a button. This is particularly important for those wearing HAZMAT suits or for SWAT teams who can push the button with an elbow while keeping a finger on the trigger.

The tactical kits police and SWAT teams demand most are PRYME’s Dual Bone Conduction Headset and Gladiator Throat Microphone as they pick up sound directly from the user’s skull or throat and block ambient noise. The Bone Conduction Headset also works with PRYME’s upgradable tactical PTT system with multiple switches including the Hockey Puck, Large Hockey Puck, and belt mounted Junction Box.

“PRYME’s throat mics are also used for shooting sports like hunting and gun ranges,” said George. “Our heavy-duty wireless earmuffs are equally popular as they are 23dB NRR rated and can be used with either a cellphone or two-way radio.”

However, public safety agencies are the most prevalent tactical product users, and regularly purchase through PRYME’S GSA Advantage contract. In fact, PRYME’s Storm Trooper Heavy Duty Speaker Mic is one of the longest-running favorites among law enforcement officers nationwide.
