XVP830 IMPRES Remote Speaker Microphone for Motorola APX & APX NEXT
Genuine Motorola Solutions Original mission-critical remote speaker microphone with 4 HDR microphones, IP68 submersion, UL HAZLOC certification, and ViQi® button.
The Motorola XVP830 (available as standard commercial model PMMN4136B and federal procurement model PMMN4136BTAA) 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 enforcement teams, structural firefighters, and hazardous materials response units, the XVP830 delivers clear voice transmission in high-noise environments. Sourced directly from our verified inventory of Motorola Two-Way Radios & Accessories, this remote speaker microphone features a low-profile, knob-free design that eliminates snag hazards while keeping critical communication controls mounted securely on your shoulder.
Engineered for volatile operational environments, the Motorola XVP830 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, defense operations, and municipal entities subject to US government procurement regulations, the PMMN4136BTAA variant is certified compliant with the Trade Agreements Act under FAR Standards (48 CFR Subpart 25.4). Sealed against fine dust and 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 drains water away from internal transducer elements. Built to survive extreme tactical drops and physical abuse 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 XVP830 includes an oversized gloved PTT paddle, a dedicated ViQi® voice assistant button, an orange emergency button, volume toggles, and a non-threaded 3.5mm audio jack for secondary receive-only earpieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 PMMN4136B represents the latest manufacturing revision of the XVP830, superseding the earlier PMMN4136A and NMN6271A with identical form, fit, and audio functionality. The PMMN4136BTAA variant features the exact same technical build and performance 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 XVP830?
Yes. To ensure full digital compatibility with the 4-microphone beamforming array and advanced audio leveling, 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.
What is the difference between the XVP830 and the XVP850?
The XVP830 (PMMN4136B) features a sleek, knob-free upper housing designed to minimize bulk and prevent snagging. The XVP850 (PMMN4135B) includes a physical top-mounted channel selection knob, allowing users to switch radio channels directly from the microphone head. Both models share identical 4-mic noise suppression and IP68 submersible ratings.
Can I plug a secondary earpiece into this microphone?
Yes. The XVP830 features a sealed 3.5mm 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 situations without compromising 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.
