Any thoughts on what the best location is for a boom mike in an ASW27? Currently the mount point is right behind my right shoulder, and when I bend it up, the gooseneck is pinched between my arm and the cockpit edge. not comfortable.

Also, do folks like one speaker or two?

This might be a religious question, but do you prefer a boom mike or headset, and why? I have really only used a headset to date.

Thanks,

On ASW-27 I used to fly with did not have a boom mike, he just had a small panel mounted mic, it was about 12mm across or less (dime sized). Got rid of all the stupid boom business that adds weight and cramps up the cockpit. I'd consider this a good option, it worked well, he just had to project his voice and no problems.
