bmth chris[TK] Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Ok, so I'm considering buying the icomm/aker. Where/how are they mounted? I'm assuming the aker goes in the chest plate. But where does everyone put the icomm? Do you feed the wires through the neck bib? Any help is appreciated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper[TK] Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 If you have the small aker amp, it could go inside the right pectoral under the chest and the icomm on the left. The mic wire goes from your boom ear loop, though the neckseal and into the icomm. Then a male to male 1/8" jack wire goes from the icomm to the aker. Make sense? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I just stuck some Velcro on the whole back of the icomm and it sticks to a bigger patch of Velcro in the inside of my chest plate. Rare that it comes off. I hang the aker around my neck on the strap provided but a lot of folks mount it to the chest plate by glueing in elastic straps to hold it in. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmth chris[TK] Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 What model aker is the small one? And how do I know if it's compatible with the icomm? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm pretty sure most of the akers that http://store.voicebooster.com/sells can power the icomm. Best to ask Jim directly. He's a 501st member (TK6294), here on the forums, and the one who sells the akers/icomms. I think the small one is the 10 watt MR1506. I don't think it is loud enough myself. I have a 12 watt MR1505. -Eric 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I use the MR1506 with an Icomm, no problems at all. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliens8us Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I have industrial strength velcro on the back of the iComm and attached it to the fan system of Echo's. The Aker speaker is worn on my neck that sits beneath the chestplate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
