Rugged Stone Mountain products supporting customer critical communication.

“I have used the same Stone Mountain Sword speaker mic on my Kenwood radio since 2007. It’s been used and abused in structure and wildland fires, water rescue and all forms of inclement weather. I am especially impressed with its waterproofing as it has always been loud and clear even when wet (We get torrential rain here). It has never failed me once and after having used a variety of speaker mics over the years, I now would never use anything else on my radio for the Fire Service.”

“Western Taney County Fire Protection District has used the Stone Mountain SWORD for 5 years. We were looking for a lapel speaker mic that would hold up to firefighting conditions. The SWORD has done just that – Truly a water proof product that has good sound and lasts. Thanks to the team at Stone Mountain for helping solve our communication needs.”

“Bedford County Fire & Rescue is pleased to continue our relationship with Stone Mountain Ltd. as we provide our volunteers and career staff with the latest radio communications technology. After several weeks of field testing we selected the Phoenix LMR speaker mic to issue to approximately 250 of our personnel because of the product’s overall quality and the ability to upgrade them with the CallCheck feature. As a bonus, Stone Mountain is located in our county, which gives us the ability to interact with them easily.”

“We contacted several after-market microphone manufacturers to build a rugged shoulder mic with a Nexus connector for use by our Helicopter Crew(s). This required a custom mic that contained switching, so that the user can unplug his helmet mounted headset from the on-board intercom and plug into the shoulder mic to operate in the high noise environment near the running helicopter. To make things even more problematic, we employ several brands and models of radios, Motorola, Harris and Kenwood.
Stone Mountain was the ONLY manufacturer to accept the challenge. All the others told us sorry we don’t make anything like that.
Stone Mountain rapidly developed a prototype based on their existing designs that we’ve tested in the field and are very impressed with ruggedness and operability of the mic. The cost is less than we can build them ourselves.
The Stone Mountain solution [Phoenix LMR] meets or exceeds all of our product requirements.”

“As a Sergeant in the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office Special Operations Unit, I feel it is imperative that we use the very best communication equipment available in the industry. The Special Operations Unit is home to the K9 unit, the traffic unit, the aviation unit, the marine unit, the agricultural unit and the SWAT team.
The first Bluetooth speaker mic provided to me from our radio provider was less than desirable and honestly felt like a cheap plastic toy. After being introduced to Stone Mountain and receiving a sample unit of their BluSkye Bluetooth speaker mic, it was very evident that their rugged design was far superior to any other Bluetooth speaker mic on the market.
When we had a special request requiring a modification to meet a specific need of ours, their sales and engineering team worked together to provide us with the exact solution allowing us to control the volume of the speaker mic from the radio itself in a very short amount of time. The sound quality and volume output level of the microphone exceeded my expectations, as did the sales and engineering team at Stone Mountain, Ltd.
If you work in public safety or in any environment where safety is paramount, demand a speaker mic, you can trust and choose Stone Mountain!”
