kupertrooper Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 I have had an iComm and Aker setup and it seems like no matter what I do my voice comes out muffled. So bad that most people can't make out what I'm saying. I switched to a Rom/FX and still have the same issue. I've used the iComm uni-directional mic and the mic that comes with the memorex wireless unit. My helmet is AP and it's really tight in there. I've also tried the Aker's speaker facing both ways in my chest plate. Any ideas? Quote
Tolo[TK] Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) I got myself this mic and it solved my problem. I have an AP bucket and Echo's fan system. ---------- Edited March 30, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link removed no longer working Quote
kupertrooper Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Posted January 8, 2014 So did you sound all muffled before you got it? Quote
Tolo[TK] Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 Not really, it prevents me for having the mic on my mouth non-stop during trooping. Wich bothered me as heck. Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk Quote

kupertrooper Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) I remember this mic and searched and found this cool setup. --------- Edited March 30, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link removed no longer working Quote
pattrooper Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 your mic might be to close to your mouth, which can cause distortion. Quote

Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 FYI: They're a few bucks cheaper on Amazon. I just ordered one -Eric Quote
Captain Jack[501st] Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 The one on amazon says it needs a power source. Will the ICOMM power it? Or do you need something else? Sorry if this is a dumb question as I'm new. Quote

Sorry if this is a dumb question as I'm new. I've hooked it up like a normal mic and it works fine. The advantage of this mic is that you don't need to have it almost stuck on you mouth to make it loud. It needs about 1/2" to 3/4" of space between your mouth, or else, you will get feedback.

Pretty easy. I've super glued a small piece of HIPS inside my bucket. Salvaged the mic clip to use only the holder and super glued it on my piece of HIPS. ----------- Edited March 30, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link removed no longer working Quote
Captain Jack[501st] Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) I think I may buy one and run it with this ----------- and a ICOMM. Edited March 30, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link removed no longer working Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Clever! Thanks man. I can't wait to try it out. -Eric On 1/9/2014 at 7:31 AM, Tolo said: Eric, here are the pictures of my set up. Pretty easy. I've super glued a small piece of HIPS inside my bucket.

DizzyStormtrooper[501st] Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 Talk with an inside voice, turn up amp volume. Raising your voice makes the amp muffle, dont talk like they can't hear you outside your helmet. Quote
kupertrooper Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Posted January 15, 2014 Update. The new mic didn't fix anything. I did some more troubleshooting and it turns out that my wireless memorex system is causing all the muffle. It's like night and day. Quote
DroidHunter Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Quote I think I may buy one and run it with this----------- and a ICOMM. Keep in mind, with the RS amp you may need to get either a powered mic or perform a minor procedure on the amp. Unless the iComm serves to provide power. I can't speak to that issue. I grabbed that amp to go with a couple of Samson mics I had laying around. They didn't work with it. But if you open the amp and solder in 1 small wire that solves the problem. Thanks to Tray, I did just that and now it works fine. And I've never soldered anything before, so if I can do it, trust me when I say that anybody can! ---------- Edited March 30, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link removed no longer working Quote
