Hello fellow Stormtroopers.
I figured I would do a review on the cheap $9.99 eBay buy of the SmallTalk2 mic system.
I was looking for a very cheap fix for amplified sound with mic so ppl could hear me speak while I have the helmet on.
I have read around about other mods and devices some troopers are using, and only came across this type of mic & amp twice.
So after receiving this item, it comes with a mic placed inside a weird shaped plastic piece with a solid non disconnecting wire to the amp/speaker which is combined together in a small box thats no bigger then a pager and has a turn nob that adjust volume level.
After playing around with it, at first it seemed flimsy for it to have the Small mic installed in a plastic cup piece and no way to disconnect the wire from the box amp.
But the mic can be easily removed from the cheap plastic piece and either modified to your liking or just simply hot glue right into the helmet.
Since the wire from the mic to the amp & speaker does not disconnect. You can either cut & splice a radio jack in place or leave it as is.
I decided im going to modify the plastic piece the mic sits in and then velcro that piece into the helmet for easy removal.
Since the helmet goes on usually last I can just velcro the mic into place and then since the amp/ speaker have a belt clip , I clip it to the suspenders under the chest piece. After everything is on.
When the mic is in range of the amp/speaker you may get feedback, if you talk to loud on the mic you get feedback. But after placing the set up as I explained, there is really no feedback. And you get some what of a good sound like a stormtrooper.
Well this will be a test run on my TK, and if more people are interested I can post my results..
So has anybody ever used this product, and how did they mount it?
Thnx for reading my long post and hopefully gives some insight and help with this product.
