Little Bird Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Looking at the Bose topic below made me wonder about my headset.I have a DC H10-76 mil headset. When it was given to me, a civilian mic had been exchanged with the one originally installed. It's been used with no problems on a variety of machines until now. I'd actually thought it had been converted to civ spec but after some issues with it, I sent it to DC and they're telling me I have to make a choice, either the cheap mil restoration or the expensive civ convert. They won't fix my problems keeping the civ mic with the rest of the mil package which I guess must be the speakers.My question, is having this setup, civ mic on a mil spec headset ok, am I doing any damage to the a/c radios or am I slowly breaking down the headset quality? Or is what I have just an easy, cheap fix? I realize I could also go the cheaper mil restoration and just get a convert cable, but I am still interested as electronics aren't my strong-point!Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle5 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 My old DC is the H10-66 which will work in both mil and civ with just a flick of a switch. That being the case I'd bet your modified one isn't damaging anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomer Pylot Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 As long as it's loud enough for you, there is no problem with using low impedance speakers and a high impedance mike. I've done that for years with my helmet. It's a former military helmet, and I've tried changing the speakers out with high impedance models, and it's way too loud for me, I can't turn the volume down enough to reach a comfortable level. The mike and the speakers are on separate circuits, so there is no electrical problem with it. I would have DC fix whatever problems it has, return it to low impedance parts, and return your mike to you. You can easily change the mike back.
