[simpits-tech] An idea - headset boxes

[Joseph Fagner]

NO Steve, these boxes will not convert a military mic to a pc input type.
They are different impedances.  You will need to buy an adapter plug that
converts your single military U-174 plug to a civilian headset and mic plug.
Now you need to be careful to not buy just the adapter, but you must buy the
adapter that also converts the impedance as well.  The plug adapter alone
will not work, you MUST convert the impedance as well.  Once you have done
this, then you build one of Brian's little boxes and this converts the
civilian plugs to pc plugs.  You plug it in and it works like a top.  I have
done this using my HGU-55p and MBU-20p oxygen mask.  Didn't change a thing
inside the helmet or mask and I fly online with this setup and have been
told it really sounds very military and adds realism to those listening.  If
you need any help with this stuff, I'll be glad to assist.

Brian -

 

Will these headset boxes convert military microphones and plugs to PC
standard?  I'm using standard headphone speaker units in both of my helmets,
but the mask mikes are all miliary.

Hey all,

 

I know I promised a while back to post instructions for the headset boxes.
Don't worry, I have NOT forgotten! I've just gotten a bit sidetracked.
Anyway, I just had a little thought, and wanted to see what you guys had to
say.

 

Before I made the decision to stop pursuing this as a commercial venture, I
had placed one last bulk order of parts. Now, several of these parts have no
real use outside of these boxes - things like the aircraft mic plug, and the
small project boxes. What I was thinking is, if anyone is interested, I can
sell "kits" consisting of most or all of the parts needed, and instructions
on how to make the boxes. It would be very cheap, probably just the cost of
the parts - which would save you money, because the cost for me was the bulk
cost, as opposed to individual cost. At any rate, I just want to get rid of
this dead weight, so if you're interested, drop me a line. If I get enough
interest I will see what I can do.
