Thank y'all very much. Your input has been extremely helpful and clarifying.

So, the iComm isn't truly necessary for the Aker to work right? You could just plug a mic into the Aker and it'd be functional, correct? I know the iComm will make you sound more authentic, but my funds are not the biggest and I'll be buying things piecemeal.

Many thanks to y'all for your help. I figured an internal fan would be a little overzealous, but thought I'd ask anyway. If anyone else reading this has sobering to contribute about fans, please do! Grif, did you have to make the earholes yourself? If so, how did you do so without compromising the helmet? I imagine some gentle carving and smoothing? If these questions are tedious, I apologize.

Thanks for the tip Oblivian. I was actually about to ask which one y'all preferred, haha.

Yanno, now that you say so, I realize I did just that here at Star Wars Reads Day at a local Barnes & Noble when I was talking to a 501st TB, haha. I'm almost certain he was using a voice box.

Hi all! Rather new here, and I've got a few questions about using fans in the helmet to keep cool. Are they worth it? What's a good fan to use if so? What are some good ways to mount it? Finally, does the airflow mess with mic usage and make your voice sound bad?

Oh thank God!

Thank you very much for the answer. That makes a lot of sense. By wonky acoustics I mean sounding muffled from being located behind something and/or Your voice coming from an odd direction from being located in an odd place on your body.

I know that this topic is rather old, and woe to me if I an committing necromancy here, but I have a question on the use of these. I figured I'd reuse this topic since there is already a lot of good info here. How do y'all hook your voice amps up so that they are still functional, and don't have wonky acoustics? Where is your box located on your person?

Disregard. I just found it.

So, I've seen this status around, and am really curious as to what it means exactly. I know it's a more screen accurate and stricter standard for one's armour, but what exactly are the specifications? I've used and abused the search function trying to find this, but I have not been able to find any Lancer Deploymemt Request form/forum/thread. I saw that it was supposed to be a topic in the HQ section, but couldn't find any real criteria. Would y'all be able to help me out?
