MEK-4 Microphone Extension Kit

The Standard Horizon Mic Extension Kit is a specialized marine hardware kit used to relocate your VHF radio's microphone connection. It extends the reach of your existing microphone, allowing you to move the connection point from the rear panel of the radio transceiver to a more accessible remote location on your dash or console.

Key Specifications & Compatibility

• Supported Radio Models: Officially designed for use with Standard Horizon QUANTUM Series radios, specifically the GX5000S, GX5500S, and CPV550 VHF models.
• Cable Length: Includes a 20-foot (6.1 meters) heavy-duty routing cable.
• Build Materials: Premium Stainless Steel panel mount plate and mounting screws for superior marine-grade durability and rust resistance.

What is Included in the Kit

The MEK-4 package contains:

• 1 x 20-foot routing extension cable
• 1 x Stainless steel panel holder plate
• 1 x Rubber connector gasket/cap for weatherproofing
• 3 x Stainless steel mounting screws

Brief Installation Steps

1. Prep the Connector: Remove the rubber dust/water gasket from the radio's rear 6-pin connector and shift it to the front microphone connector if needed.
2. Drill the Dash: Use the included template to drill a 1-inch (24 mm) main hole and three small 0.08-inch (2 mm) pilot holes into your panel bulkhead.
3. Secure the Mount: Affix the rubber cap and stainless holder plate to your bulkhead using the provided screws.
4. Route and Connect: Pass the cable through, lock the bulkhead side using the retaining nut, and plug the 20-foot run directly into the "Remote Mic" connector located on the back of your VHF transceiver.
