The new remote CB microphone system offers truckers safe and convenient remote operation of all standard 4-pin CB radios from Cobra Electronics, as well as all other CB radio manufacturers, the company says. The system consists of an ergonomic headset with retractable cord, a state-of-the-art boom microphone featuring noise canceling technology, and a heavy-duty push-to-talk (PTT) button.
According to Cobra, with the PTT unit affixed to the gear shift lever and the headset and boom microphone placed on the driver’s head or around the neck, professional drivers can safely operate their CB radio without ever moving their hands or taking their eyes off the road.
“Driving today’s big rigs is a demanding job, drivers are constantly faced with many tasks and many distractions, and safety is always the paramount concern,” says Toby Bogard, veteran trucker, author and Cobra spokesperson. “CB radios provide a vital communication link for truckers, but operating them adds another distraction, and it forces drivers to take their hand off the wheel and their eyes off the road. Cobra’s innovative new Remote CB Microphone System is a breakthrough in professional driver safety that eliminates this problem and delivers safe and convenient CB operation at the touch of a button.”
The new remote CB microphone system includes an ergonomic headset, boom microphone with noise canceling technology, junction module, push-to-talk switch and mounting hardware. It also features simple, 10-minute installation in most trucks. The product will be available nationwide in October.
