The Gentex Mask Light Microphone

Monday, September 8th, 2025

Hands-Free Illumination and Clear Communication Built for Mission Success.

In demanding cockpit environments, aircrew can’t afford to compromise on visibility or communication. That’s why Gentex created Mask Light Microphones, fully integrated solutions that combine Night Vision Imaging Systems (NVIS)-compatible cockpit lighting with high-performance communications in single, streamlined units. Available in both Dynamic and Amplified versions, these systems give aircrew the tools they need to operate effectively in low-light conditions while maintaining clear and effective comms.

The Mask Light Advantage

By integrating a high-intensity white LED directly into the external microphone subassembly and an activation switch into the internal microphone subassembly, the Mask Light delivers reliable, hands-free, supplemental cockpit lighting for map reading, equipment checks, and other tasks without disrupting night vision or compromising safety. The fully integrated design eliminates the need for separate light mounts, reduces snag hazards, and keeps essential functions right where you need them.

Dynamic and Amplified Options for Every Platform

• Mask Light Dynamic Mic (MLDM) – Powered by long-lasting CR2 batteries, this version integrates seamlessly into Gentex oxygen masks that do not draw from aircraft-supplied power, such as the MBU-20/P, MBU-20A/P, andsome HA/LPs. With a four-level brightness adjustment and rugged, Safe-to-Fly construction, the MLDM is built for maximum reliability in both fixed wing and rotary wing operations.

• Mask Light Amplified Mic (MLAM) – Designed for platforms like the F-35 and F/A-18—and fully approved for use by the Department of the Air Force and Department of the Navy in all variants of the F-35—this aircraft-powered version integrates into Gentex F-35, MBU-23/P, and someHA/LP oxygen masks. With adjustable brightness, NVIS compatibility, and no batteries required, the MLAM offers continuous mission-ready performance.

Mission-Driven Design

Both models are tested to withstand windblast and ejection seat forces exceeding 600 KEAS, ensuring they remain secure in the most extreme conditions. Built to MIL-STD requirements, protected against environmental threats, and optimized for ease of installation, the Mask Light Microphones deliver an unmatched level of safety, performance, and integration.
