Two radios, one headset, one thumb. A dual-channel PTT with a U-174 receptacle, laid out as a mirror image so it works the same on either side of your body.

Once you are running a team net and a marshal or command channel at the same time, a single PTT stops being enough and swapping headsets mid-game is not a plan. The M56 acts as a central control unit with two ports, taking two radios into one headset and giving each its own button.

The layout is mirror-image by design, so the unit is equally usable mounted left or right — a detail that matters if your rig is already built around one shoulder. The wearing angle is adjustable as well, which is the difference between a button you press and a button you hunt for.

The two buttons are shaped differently so they can be told apart by touch alone. Earmor call this blind recognition, and it is the most useful feature on the unit: you should never have to look down to know whether you are talking to your team or to control.

Construction is ABS at roughly 110 grams, with pure copper wiring and gold-plated pins, and moulded cables built to resist tangling and bending. The headset end is a U-174 receptacle matching the military-standard cable on the M32 Plus; this version's radio end carries the Kenwood two-pin pattern.

Frequently asked questions

Can I run two different radio brands on it? This version carries Kenwood two-pin on both legs. Earmor do build the M56 with other plug combinations — their own material names Motorola one-pin and two-pin, Hytera, Kenwood, Yaesu and ICOM — but the Kenwood build is what our supply route carries.

Do I hear both radios at once? Yes — both feed the same headset. Which is exactly why the buttons are shaped differently, so you know which net you are transmitting on.

Which headsets accept a U-174 plug? Anything with a NATO-standard U-174 cable, including the M32 Plus and M32X Plus.

Is a single-radio version cheaper? Considerably. If you only run one net, the M52 does the job for less and comes with a finger button.

⚠ Two nets is a discipline problem before it is a hardware problem. Transmitting team chatter onto a marshal channel is the classic dual-comm mistake. Set a habit for which button is which before the first game, not during it.
💡 Titan Forge Airsoft tip: Mount it high on the cummerbund rather than on a shoulder strap. Two cables from a shoulder is where snags start. Everything comms-related is in ear protection.
