NorvelleScout05 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hello fellow scouts. What does everyone use as a microphone for the helmet? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliaz Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I got a cheap wireless mic of eBay. Works fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I use one of these. Says it's out of stock but there are others like it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009XMYCSM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyRajR Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Lots of options out there for amplifiers.. I use one of these -- http://a.co/9RkbYlx It gets plenty loud broadcasting out of a pouch, and doesn't typically feedback.. I've taken the microphone apart (removed the thingy that goes around your head, and just kept the swing-arm and microphone) and attached it with velcro inside my helmet.. I have also used it with my iphone and the Trooper Talk App (had to buy a microphone splitter).. It allows a great deal of modification (static burst, which isn't appropriate for us, radio noise, background loops, pitch, tone, etc)... But, it does introduce a little bit of vocal delay (about .10) which can be a bit confusing and I've had some cut-out issues.. So, when I troop with it next I'm going to try a different microphone splitter.. If that doesn't work, I'll keep running the voice amplifier as is, because it sounds great. (At $14.95 for the app, and $10 for the splitter, it's still much cheaper than a dedicated iComm unit.. Even though those iComm units sound really good!) I just like Trooper Talk pitching my voice down a little bit.. Makes me sound tougher.. lol.. Anyway, just one scout's experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon_a Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Plus 1 for wireless, much simpler setup than having to route wires under your suit and up through the neck. Though there was 1 con when I realised that it wasn't my voice I could hear coming through the amp :-D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of microphone splitter do you use? There are a lot of microphone splitters on Amazon. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
