MICH Headset System

Communication Headset (MICH) System is an unobtrusive microphone/sound transmission system that provides interface capability with various military and other radio transceivers and intercom systems. MICH Systems can be worn alone or under MSA's ballistic Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH).

The MICH Dual-Communication System is the only system on the market that works with most military radios and intercom systems. It is a two-port system that allows the operator to monitor either two radios or a radio and a vehicle intercom system simultaneously. It is compatible with radio systems used by the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and federal and local police departments.

MSA's MICH Systems have been field-tested and proven under the most strenuous combat conditions.
