OPEN MIC™ - APX 8000

"THE STANDARD BY WHICH ALL RADIO CARRIERS ARE MEASURED" 
 
The OPEN MIC™ is the product that built Nonexus Group — our first true solution, our most widely adopted platform, and still our all-time best-selling piece of duty gear. It was designed to solve problems that standard-issue and mass-market radio carriers never addressed.
 
Built to fit both the Motorola APX 6000 and APX 8000, the OPEN MIC™ exists because most radio holsters are designed in isolation — without considering how the radio actually lives on a duty belt or vest.
 
The result is familiar: excess bulk, exposed screens, encapsulated extender connections, and pressure points that show up after a full shift. Those are the tells of gear that wasn’t engineered on the asphalt.
 
Designed for Actual Duty Use
This carrier exists because standard-issue radio solutions are built around procurement math, not real-world use. Leather carriers persist because they’re cheap and win low-bid contracts — not because they perform.
 
Grams add up.
Channel changes happen under stress.
Belt hot spots make or break a shift.
 
The OPEN MIC™ is engineered around the entire duty-gear ecosystem — belt, vest, body position, and surrounding equipment. Material is removed where it creates bulk or vulnerability and reinforced only where it adds strength.
 
Retention (Simple. Proven. Adjustable.)
Precision 3D-accurate radio-specific molding built from scratch
Adjustable side retention tuned with a 1/8" Allen key
No straps, bungees, or covers to fail or slow access
 
Retention stays consistent over time — no stretching, softening, or shape loss like leather carriers.
 
Intelligent Mounting Geometry
Rear mounting holes are laid out to support direct 45-degree cant mounting as well as vertical configurations — no adapters, offsets, or improvised hardware required.
 
The OPEN MIC™ isn’t trying to impress anyone. It’s built for professionals who know when gear is doing its job.
