MikerScout Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I need a voice! The amplified TKs made me jealous. I did a search but I think I am using the wrong terms. What are some helmet audio/speaker options for us? Little volume.. distortion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are some helmet audio/speaker options for us? Little volume.. distortion? I have a 10 watt Aker speaker (which includes a headworn mic). I got a different headworn mic from Radio Shack because it was more comfortable than the included wire headband, but that does work fine. I just ran the speaker wire under my flak vest and into the pouch where I kept my speaker. I use the same setup today for my TIE Pilot. Some folks use wireless mics, use gadgets that make the static burst like TKs have, but I've found the amplified voice and slight natural distortion of the speaker wows folks plenty 🙂 https://www.ebay.com/itm/10W-Aker-MR1506-Portable-Loud-Voice-Booster-Amplifier-AMP-Speaker-for-Coachers-/353659337303?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woobiee Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I'm doing my research right now as we speak! So far it looks like people are happy with Voice Booster products. I'm looking into the MR1506 10watt and figuring out how to get a reliable wireless setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOtrooper Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I use a wireless mic in my bucket, aker amp in my chest, and the two go between a TK Talkie for sound effects. Works well for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Most scouts I know use the aker set up in their pouches and with either a wired or Bluetooth headset and it works well. I wanted access to my pouches for storage while trooping so I went with Ukswrath’s audio system. Tony does great systems for TKs and TBs that go right into the bucket. For the scout, you get a new snout piece with the speaker in the aerator and I put the battery pack and hook up in my helmet. Sound is really good. My set up is in my WIP. You will need to make a new backing plate for the snout piece, but that’s easy peasy. https://www.etsy.com/listing/741836481/biker-scout-helmet-audio-system?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=ukswrath&ref=sr_gallery-1-10&organic_search_click=1&pro=1&frs=1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to attempt the snout route! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
