BG-F-Tetra Motorola MTH800 1 Wire Acoustic Tube Earpiece and PTT

BG-F-Tetra Motorola MTH800 1 Wire Acoustic Tube Earpiece and PTT

A similar version of this headset was used by the police unit protecting the 2012 Olympic Flame Torch Procession. That’s not marketing — it’s the kind of operational pedigree that speaks for itself.

The ‘F’ in BG-F-Tetra stands for Falcon — the original user of this connector type. The secured side connector locks positively to the MTH800, MTH650, MTP850 and CEP400, eliminating accidental disconnection in the field.

The BG range is exclusive to Showcomms in the UK — designed by an American company and manufactured on an ISO 9001-certified production line in China by Soundcode (previously Voxtech). ISO 9001 certification means every batch is manufactured to the same specification. BG headsets are date-stamped at manufacture — cheaper agent-vended imports offer no such traceability.

The moulded connector is double-stapled at the cable entry point — the weak point that fails first on cheaper headsets. Kevlar-reinforced cables are rated to 20kg breaking force at the strain relief.

Cable layout from radio to ear: connector → short straight section → coiled section → straight section → PTT/mic block → straight section → transducer → acoustic tube. The coil absorbs movement from the radio while the upper cable stays stable at the collar.

A deliberate design feature, confirmed by the original designer: the coiled section extends enough to allow female operatives to lower clothing when using the bathroom without removing the radio from the belt. The earpiece stays in — no need to switch to the radio speaker and broadcast to the room. Stay on comms throughout.

While popular with police and security services, the single-wire design also suits event management, hotels, and office environments — fewer wires make day-to-day wear easier to manage, and the earpiece can be worn outside clothing where full discretion isn’t required.
