When it comes to the authentic sound of the troopers voice, what would be the best bet

[Griffin-X[TK]]

There are a lot of options...if you're looking for a voice amp, check out the Aker line.

[dubVADER[501st]]

the aker and icomm is a great combo for that transmission sound and static bursts, Rom/fx is another great route for that also.

[Toddo[TK]]

the Aker and iComm combination is fantastic. Jim sells them at an affordable price, and he ships quickly. The Aker is nice and loud with the right amount of distortion whereas the iComm adds those essential static bursts. In addition, the iComm comes with a push-to-talk cable or is voice-activated.

RomF/X. That's what I use.

[carbonitekid]

Of all the troopers in the UKG (well over 200 ) 99% of them use Rom FX.

 

Can't get a better testimonial than that.

I'm in the Icomm aker camp!

[Dracos]

Is there something you can get to mask a higher pitched voice? Some digital voice changer of some type?

Does anyone sell ROM/FX kits in the US?

Not unless it's second hand from a previous owner. But they ship to the US.

And John is a stand up bloke too.

 

Drop him a line, you will not regret it.

Im on the Rom/FX waiting list, going for the Pro myself.

There are many options, varying in price, complexity, availability, performance, physical size, etc. You can get very creative with your sound effects if you choose to do so and have the electronics skills to make it happen. For example, in one of my old buckets I gutted a $10 Halloween voice changer (a full tutorial is available here on the forum) and rewired the sound effects to speakers embedded in my hovis.

 

However, the two options that nowadays tend to rise to the top are the RomFX and the Aker/iComm. Having heard both in action, either would make an excellent choice.

Of the Acker Amps I have personal knowledge of in the UK, a large number have had tech/mic issues and have spoken out on how they wish they had bought a Rom.

 

Just sayin........

I listened to examples of both and the ROM/FX just sounded more authentic. Once I get my armor, I'll worry about my voice.
