Guys sorry
in my rush to get things working right
I had forgotten to thank each of you for all
Your advise I have the Vic system finally working well
Music sounds pretty good to
Again thanks to all of you for your help and support!
So maybe that special cable might be a better option?
The way I set the vic up is:
batteries to 1029(rt524)- back to vic on the 501 port to have rx/tx capability through vic.
Then -1029(rt524) power jumped to 1029 (vrc53)
1029 (vrc53) is stand alone- that way i kept the 508 port on the vic...
ok as requested here is a picture of the other side of the circuit
board.
Sure I have the desire, desire to make it work with out damaging something!
or setting my self on fire or something like thatrofl.
I could have easily paid an electrical engineer to do this for me,
but I figured -hey...I...
Ok so I got bored and decided
To cut up another headset. This one however
Had independent volume controls on each earphone.
I found these little circuit boards in side
(see pics) twisted the wires together, plugged in
An iPhone then gradually turned up the volume on that
Then turned up each of...
ok.
So I have cleaned all the contacts at the boxes
(they were really clean but did it anyway)
Still the same as prior to cleaning.
So then I disconnected the entire system
cleaned and reconnected- Same as prior!
I found an older cd player, (never liked the volume out put on this one)
and...
I did a search for some of the amps....
Your right talk about expensive.....
I'll try all the suggestions in the am
And post the results.
I'll get some pics up of how I mounted
Everything also
Ok some great ideas
I'll clean the contacts tomorrow.
As far as contact cleaner- any recommendations
Should that not work or even if it does
I will begin to look for the headphone amp.
Does apple manufacture these?
Or are there several makers?
Also, if the Vic is calling for a 2v input
Would...
The "interface"
is just a clipped set of ear buds.
Not being to much of an electrical guru
I figured out how to check the ohms
and the wires being so tiny I got out put readings between
8 and a max of 15 ohms at the clipped ear bud ends.
I shut off the volume lock and reducer on the ipod and...
Salt, ya volume is maxed out on the boxes if I turn down I cant hear anything.
wsucougarx, i wouldn't mind a mouth breather at this point!
the mics seem to pic up most sound pretty good
but still the volume is not what I would expect. I wouldn't get agravated with a heavy breather-the sound...
Ok after reading posts back to 2008. All good by the way.
Unless I missed the answer I cant find one.
I have 2 questions,
First-
is the audio typically very low
in the VIC 1 to begin with (mine is)? almost better off just yelling at the guy next to me.....
and the second:
has anyone come up...
