XVP850 IMPRES Remote Speaker Microphone with Channel Knob for APX & APX NEXT
Genuine Motorola Solutions Original mission-critical RSM with integrated channel knob, 4 HDR microphones, IP68 sealing, and UL HAZLOC certification.
The Motorola XVP850 (available as standard commercial model PMMN4135B and federal procurement model PMMN4135BTAA) is an authentic original equipment manufacturer (OEM) mission-critical remote speaker microphone engineered specifically for Motorola APX and APX NEXT series portable two-way radios. Designed for patrol officers, tactical operations, structural firefighting crews, and hazardous materials response units, the XVP850 provides complete field control from your shoulder. Sourced directly from our verified inventory of Motorola Two-Way Radios & Accessories, this top-tier remote speaker microphone features an integrated channel selector knob and volume toggles, allowing users to switch channels and adjust audio levels without unclipping the radio from their belt.
Engineered for volatile operational environments, the Motorola XVP850 is certified intrinsically safe under UL Standards (ANSI/TIA-4950 Class I, II, III, Division 1, Groups C, D, E, F, G) for deployment in classified hazardous locations containing flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust clouds. For federal agencies and defense operations subject to US government procurement regulations, the PMMN4135BTAA variant is certified compliant with the Trade Agreements Act under FAR Standards (48 CFR Subpart 25.4). Sealed against fine dust and continuous water immersion up to 2 meters for 4 hours certified under IEC Standards (IEC 60529 IP68), the microphone features Work-When-Wet directional speaker housing that quickly purges water away from internal transducer elements. Built to survive extreme tactical drops and physical shock tested to DoD Standards (MIL-STD-810H), the unit integrates four High Dynamic Range (HDR) beamforming microphones that work with internal DSP algorithms to suppress ambient siren noise, highway traffic roar, and apparatus engine hum. Meeting ergonomic safety recommendations under OSHA Standards, the XVP850 includes an oversized gloved PTT paddle, a top-mounted rotary channel selector, an emergency button, a dedicated ViQi® voice assistant key, and a non-threaded 3.5mm audio jack for secondary receive-only earpieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the XVP850 (PMMN4135B) and XVP830 (PMMN4136B)?
The primary difference is the physical channel control: the XVP850 includes an integrated top-mounted rotary channel selector knob, allowing users to switch channels directly from the microphone head. The XVP830 features a streamlined, knob-free housing designed to eliminate snag hazards. Both models share identical 4-microphone beamforming arrays, IP68 water submersion ratings, and UL HAZLOC certifications.
What is the difference between part numbers ending in "A", "B", and "BTAA"?
Motorola Solutions uses trailing letter suffixes (such as A, B, or C) to designate internal manufacturing revisions. The part number PMMN4135B represents the latest manufacturing revision of the XVP850, superseding the earlier PMMN4135A with identical form, fit, and audio performance. The PMMN4135BTAA variant features the exact same technical build and audio hardware but carries official Trade Agreements Act (TAA) country-of-origin certification required for federal government and military procurement.
Are there minimum radio firmware requirements to use the XVP850?
Yes. To ensure full digital compatibility with the 4-microphone beamforming array and adaptive equalization engine, host radios must meet the following minimum firmware versions: APX Series radios require firmware R24.00.00 or later, while APX NEXT series radios require firmware R03.20.00 or later.
Can I connect a secondary earpiece to this microphone?
Yes. The XVP850 features a sealed 3.5 mm non-threaded audio accessory port on the side of the housing. This allows users to attach receive-only surveillance earpieces for discrete voice monitoring in tactical environments without voiding the unit's intrinsic safety approval.
How does the ViQi® button work?
When connected to an APX NEXT or properly configured APX radio equipped with ViQi software options, pressing the front ViQi button initiates voice recognition. Users can speak natural-language commands to change channels, check battery status, adjust volume zones, or run database queries.
