GENERAL INFORMATION 

 
Midian’s VM-3 is a voice storage speaker microphone for use in two-way radios. The VM-3 can record 
approximately 3 minutes of voice messages. Recording of voice messages occurs when the unit detects VOX. A 
button on the radio can then be used to play back what was recorded.  
 
In addition to the long recording time, one of the main benefits of the VM-3 voice storage module is that the 
recording blocks are not set in stone like most other voice storage modules. If the radio transmission is only 5 
seconds in length the recording block only uses 5 seconds of the 180 seconds. Some competitive units have 
recording blocks of 30 seconds. If the recording is 5 seconds the other 25 seconds are lost, thus greatly reducing 
the actual total recording time.
