coupling issues with my Aker and wireless mic

[Lionel Noronha Gallardo[TK]]

Hi guys

 

Any tips to avoid the dreaded coupling. I have an Aker   in my chest armor ,and a wireless mic in my helmet  and it seems i cannot avoid getting coupling?

 

Cheers

You mean feedback, or not connecting?

You will find even with direct cable to aker you will get feedback if the volume is too high, have you tried testing at a lower volume and then turning up slowly to find when the feedback starts or are you getting feedback straight away at any level?

if the wireless mic is at your mouth it is less of an issue.  if its attached to the bucket and a few CM away, you need to turn it up to be useful, which echoes and causes feedback from the aker as well if it is too loud.

 

even my wired aker mic hums a bit if i have the amp turned up too loud.  and its in my chest plate less than a foot from my mic: 99% of the time it doesn't cause any feedback.

I found a solution to coupling which cost none to nothing.

 

Cut a  square piece a Eva rubber and place it inside the helmet where your mic sits ( this will muffle 99% the sound coming out the helmet ) mine is 2 by 2 inches. For extra sealment i cover the mic foam  leaving the mic area free.

 

I have tested this and it works

 

Good luck

here it is guys

As mentioned before, cut a piece of Eve rubber and place it as  shown the pic. For extra isolation  you can also cover  your mic head with  Eve rubber leaving an opening for your voice to go through .

Yes.  It is type of soft  rubber that you can find in any craft shops. Kids use it at school. I ma not sure if in the States is named the same. Here in Spain is called Goma Eva

It is Ethylene Vinyl Acetate known as EVA rubber (sorry not EVE).

They are craft foam sheets

 

Hope this clarification helps
