<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Actually, it's the headset side that converts
easily. An aircraft headset is just a 1/4" jack, and the headset side of my box
does just that - a straight 1/4" to 1/8" adapter. Of course, that doesn't always
work - some sound cards don't provide enough power to push the high-impedence
headset speakers. The mics, though, are a different story. There are two reasons
why this won't work for the microphone:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A) It's a different size. Close to 1/4", but not
quite. It's smaller. So plugging an aircraft mic into a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter
will result in a very loose and very poor connection, at best.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>B) Aircraft mics take a lot more power than a
normal computer mic. My boxes provide that power with a 9V. Some soundcards
might be able to handle it, I don't know. Anything is possible, I
guess.</FONT></DIV>
