Speaker Microphones and RSMs
Remote speaker microphones let a user talk and listen without unclipping the radio from a belt or vest, speeding up communication and keeping hands free for the job. Tait's range covers several duty levels:
- Tait TSM4 Heavy Duty Speaker Mic: the toughest option, built for demanding daily use.
- Tait Genesis Speaker Mic: a versatile everyday option for general fieldwork.
- Tait Storm Speaker Mic: a compact 2.5mm-jack option for lighter-duty roles.
- Tait TP8/TP9/TP3 Lightweight Speaker Microphone: a lighter option where bulk is a concern.
Noise-Cancelling Headsets
On genuinely loud sites, machinery floors, plant rooms, or anywhere hearing protection is mandatory, a speaker mic is not enough on its own. Tait stocks a heavy-duty over-the-head and behind-the-head headset for exactly this environment.
Carry Cases and Harnesses
A genuine Tait carry case keeps the radio secure and accessible, reducing wear and physical strain from a radio bouncing on a belt all day. Options include:
- Heavy-duty leather carry case: the toughest option, available with a shoulder strap for hands-free carrying.
- Soft leather carry case: a lighter option for everyday use.
- Nylon carry case: a durable, cost-effective alternative to leather.
- TP Harness (3-way): a chest or vest-mounted harness for hands-free access.
- TPA-CA-201 belt clip: a straightforward clip fit for TP8000 and TP9000 series radios.

Why the Right Accessories Matter
Fitting a team out properly typically means:
- Fewer communication breakdowns caused by muffled audio or an awkwardly placed microphone.
- Less physical strain and discomfort over a long shift.
- Better focus and safety, since the team is not distracted by uncomfortable or unreliable gear.
- Clearer communication even in genuinely noisy environments.
