Balgosa Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I hate having a wire running out of my helmet and can't get a mic to stay on my face without falling down, so I was wondering what people that was a good wireless mic to use with the iComm/Aker setup?

TD-3425 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Well the Memorex that Jim sells works, but I had some signal issues. IE, I placed the mic/transmitter in the back of my bucket and the receiver in my back piece. If I stand up straight it works. But if I move my head down, it loses signal and breaks up. At that point, I chose just to run the mic/wire down my neckpiece. But doing that I too run into the issue of the mic falling down like you. I may fiddle around with it but I think the biggest issue is that the antenna on the receiver was not extended. I'll let you know what I find out from my tests.

TK_LEPER Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I bought one off Amazon, I think it's an olympus brand... works pretty good. Better than the wireless that I bought from Jim. :/ Sorry Jim buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrooperVenger Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 If you're having issues with the mic staying in place, use a little surgical tape and tape the wire to your face. Or you can wear a faceless balaclava and put that over the mic strap and it'll hold it in place better. Oh, you could also permanently fix the mic to the inside of your helmet and then you'd not need to worry. Remember that with a wireless mic comes the addition of another battery to worry about.

tkrestonva[TK] Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 You could go with a wireless setup, or you could simply hide the wire under the neckseal or (like Ricky said) under a balaclava. As was also said, it also means extra equipment (power, bulk, etc.). If the wired mic is falling off, perhaps you aren't giving enough slack to the cord in order to move your head freely. I also use an Aker/iComm setup, and that's the only circumstance in which I've had the mic come off my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-3425 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I might do the balaclava myself. The mic has a VERY flexible boom and thus it bends quite nicely, enough that it falls off my mouth all the time. I wouldn't want to do tape myself, due to skin/sweat. But balaclava would work.

Better than the wireless that I bought from Jim. :/ Sorry Jim buddy. Any other info on this product, Jesse? (Not bailing on your mic setup yet, Jim - just checking it out. LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-42779[501st] Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I reached this thread via the iComm website. I assume that this is a dead thread and nothing has come of your plans, Jim or are you close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK6294 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 bluetooth anything? an iphone app would be cool No plans for Bluetooth. iPhone apps are very expensive unless you do the programming yourself.

Kaden Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Anybody tinkered with shortening the boom/stalk on the aker mic? It goes all the way around my face and gets hung-up in my bucket when I don and doff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubSkip[TK] Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Off topic on a dead thread, but I just stick the mic in my mouth when putting on and taking off the bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
