Connex CX33HPC1 10 Meter Radio, DRX-9010 External Speaker, DRX-6560 4 Pin Noise Cancelling Dynamic Microphone, Combo
Connex CX33HPC1 Audio Upgrade Combo
This is the CX33HPC1 packaged with the two accessories drivers usually buy first: a bigger external speaker to move audio out of the cab noise floor, and a proper noise-cancelling hand microphone. It's the "day-one audio upgrade" bundle for the compact Connex 10 meter.
Who this combo is for
- Drivers running the CX33HPC1 in a loud cab (semi, work truck, older pickup) who want the audio to punch through engine and road noise.
- Operators who don't need a full install kit — antenna and coax are already handled from a prior radio.
- Anyone replacing an older Connex or Cobra 4-pin mobile and wanting a matched audio path.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need the audio combo if I already have a mic?
The DRX-6560 is a dynamic noise-cancelling upgrade over most stock hand mics. If you already have a comparable noise-cancelling 4-pin mic and just want more volume, buy the DRX-9010 speaker on its own. If you want the matched pair at a bundle price, take the combo.
Will the DRX-6560 plug into my CX33HPC1 directly?
Yes. The CX33HPC1 uses a standard 4-pin front-panel jack with Cobra-style wiring — the same pinout the DRX-6560 is wired for. No adapter or rewiring needed.
Where does the DRX-9010 speaker mount?
The wedge shape and included heavy-duty bracket let you side-mount it to the dash, hang it under the dash, or bolt it to a headliner shelf. The detachable 10 ft cable gives you plenty of reach in a full-size truck cab.
What if I need antenna and coax too?
Take the CX33HPC1 truck install combo instead — that bundle swaps the speaker and mic for a Stryker SR-A10, DRX-3402 mirror mount, and DRX-1518 coax.
Does the CX33HPC1 need an amateur radio license?
Yes. The CX33HPC1 is a 10 meter amateur radio; operating on 10 meters in the US requires a valid FCC amateur radio license (Technician class or higher).
