                                CEO Certification

I, Raymond V. Malpocher, certify that:

1.    I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Telex Communications
      Intermediate Holdings, LLC and Telex Communications, Inc.;

2.    Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
      of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
      statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
      were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
      report;

3.    Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
      information included in this report, fairly present in all material
      respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
      each registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.    Each registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for
      establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
      defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for such registrant
      and have:

            a.    Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
                  such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
                  our supervision, to ensure that material information relating
                  to such registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
                  is made known to us by others within those entities,
                  particularly during the period in which this report is being
                  prepared;

            b.    Intentionally omitted

            c.    Evaluated the effectiveness of such registrant's disclosure
                  controls and procedures and presented in this report our
                  conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
                  and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this
                  report based on such evaluation; and

            d.    Disclosed in this report any change in such registrant's
                  internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
                  the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's
                  fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that
                  has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
                  affect, such registrant's internal control over financial
                  reporting; and

5.    Each registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based
      on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
      reporting, to such registrant's auditors and such registrant's board of
      directors:

            a.    All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
                  design or operation of internal control over financial
                  reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect such
                  registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report
                  financial information; and

            b.    Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
                  or other employees who have a significant role in such
                  registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
