David & Clark conversion?
My brother is a helicopter pilot in the military. He gave me a D&C
H10-76XL headset. I understand that there is an impedance issue with using a military headset in GA. So, I began looking for an impedance adapter. In doing so, I found what I thought I needed. But, after doing a little more checking, I'm finding that the H10-76 and H10-76XL, specifically, are said not to work with the impedance adapter. In stead, some sites recommend simply getting a heli-GA plug and replace the dynamic mic with an electret mic. I've done some googling and find conflicting reports, so it's hard to know for sure exactly what I need. In some old posts, some people say that the adapter will work while others say they won't; following up with supporting statements that the mic does have to be replaced. Any so, now my questions. Does this mean that my headset is actually a high impedance headset? If not, why don't I need an impedance adapter? Why would I need to replace the mic? Can I simply get away with using the dynamic mic? If not, what's involved with replacing a mic on this headset? Soldering required, or can I simply unplug the old mic and plug in the new one? If I send it into D&C, what would it cost to have them do the conversion? Estimates? Thanks in advance! Best Regards & Happy New Year, Greg |
