Description
XVE500 IMPRES Division 1 Remote Speaker Microphone
Mission-critical audio clarity, 4-mic noise cancellation, and extreme UL Division 1 protection.
The Motorola PMMN4152B XVE500 IMPRES Remote Speaker Microphone is a next-generation, mission-critical audio accessory designed specifically for firefighters, emergency response personnel, and industrial teams working in extreme, hazardous environments. Certified to UL Division 1 (Div 1 / Div 2, TIA-4950) intrinsic safety standards, the XVE500 ensures completely safe operation in volatile atmospheres where ignitable gases, vapors, or combustible dust are present.
The PMMN4152B (along with variant SKUs PMMN4152BT, PMMN4152BBLK, and PMMN4152BTBLK) is the updated, revised version of legacy models like the PMMN4152A, PMMN4152, PMMN4137A, and PMMN4137. Motorola automatically fulfills orders with the latest factory revision, guaranteeing 100% backward physical compatibility while delivering updated manufacturing enhancements.
Built around Motorola's Adaptive Audio Engine, the XVE500 houses a multi-mic array of four High Dynamic Range (HDR) noise-suppressing microphones paired with the loudest speaker ever produced for a Motorola RSM. This intelligent system tracks your voice while actively filtering out extreme ambient background noise—such as raging fires, heavy machinery, diesel engine roar, and high winds. Designed to endure extreme fire ground conditions, the XVE500 withstands direct heat exposure up to 500°F (260°C) for five minutes and features an IP68 submersible rating. A dedicated ViQi voice assistant button gives first responders instant "eyes-up" access to database queries and critical field intelligence without removing their hands from task operations.
