SuperStar SS-158VC6 Audio Upgrade Combo — Radio + DRX-9010 Speaker + DRX-6560 Noise-Cancelling Mic

This bundle pairs the SuperStar SS-158VC6 high-power 10-meter amateur transceiver with the two audio upgrades most 158VC6 owners install first: the Driver Extreme DRX-9010 premium external speaker and the Driver Extreme DRX-6560 4-pin noise-cancelling dynamic microphone. The radio ships with Ranger's stock SRA-198NC noise-cancelling mic — this bundle swaps it for the DRX-6560 for smoother receive-audio dynamics and drops in an external speaker that clears voice above cab noise the built-in 2.5W internal speaker can't match on the highway.

What's in this bundle

• SuperStar SS-158VC6 — all-mode 10-meter amateur radio (AM/FM/USB/LSB/CW), 200W AM/FM/CW, 400W PEP SSB, built-in 400W final, PLL-synthesized, 6-digit frequency counter, dual internal cooling, chrome front panel with auto-dim faceplate. Ships with Ranger SRA-198NC stock mic, power cord, mounting bracket. Requires FCC amateur license to transmit.
• Driver Extreme DRX-9010 Premium External Speaker — heavy-duty 8Ω external speaker built for over-the-road cab environments. Plugs into the SS-158VC6's 3.5mm external speaker jack and clears voice cleanly above road noise.
• Driver Extreme DRX-6560 4-Pin Noise-Cancelling Dynamic Microphone — 4-pin standard-CB pinout, drop-in replacement for the stock SRA-198NC. Dynamic element with active noise cancellation for cleaner transmit audio in loud cab environments.

Why this bundle

Most SS-158VC6 owners tell us the two upgrades they add within the first month are a better mic and an external speaker — the radio itself is a serious 400W-PEP transceiver, but the built-in speaker and stock mic don't showcase what the receive and transmit stages can actually do in a truck cab. Buying the radio, DRX-9010, and DRX-6560 together as a bundle lets everything ship in one order.

Compatibility

The DRX-6560 uses the same 4-pin locking-ring connector as the SS-158VC6's stock mic — same pinout as the standard Cobra/Uniden/Ranger 4-pin CB microphone spec. No adapter needed. The DRX-9010 plugs into the SS-158VC6's rear 3.5mm 8Ω external speaker jack; the internal speaker mutes automatically when the external speaker is connected.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DRX-6560 a direct replacement for the stock SRA-198NC mic?

Yes. Both use the standard 4-pin CB locking-ring connector with the same pinout, so the DRX-6560 plugs straight into the SS-158VC6 mic jack with no adapter. Both are noise-cancelling dynamic mics; the DRX-6560 is Driver Extreme's premium version.

Does the DRX-9010 speaker work with the SS-158VC6's built-in speaker?

When you plug the DRX-9010 into the SS-158VC6's rear 3.5mm external speaker jack, the internal speaker mutes automatically. That's normal 10-meter/CB radio behavior — the external speaker takes over so you get cleaner audio without doubling up.

Do I still need to license the radio if I only buy the bundle?

Yes. The SS-158VC6 is a 10-meter amateur transceiver in every configuration, bundle or standalone. Transmit use requires a current FCC amateur (ham) radio license — Technician class or higher covers 10-meter privileges.

Can I swap components in this bundle?

This is a fixed bundle at a set price. If you want a different mic, antenna, or speaker combination, buy the SS-158VC6 on its own from the main product page and add the accessories you want separately.

Should I add the Pro Tune and Alignment option at checkout?

Don't forget to add the Pro tune and alignment option at checkout so that your radio is professionally bench-tuned for best performance per the manufacturer's service manual.
