Remove the adapter, plug in the headset to the rear connectors, select the MAIN:MIC SEL menu, press [1], press [2] and you're almost done. (Mic rear panel, Low Z, Bias On)

Now, you need to set the equalization. I get unsolicited good audio reports with the following:

Band 1: -16
Band 2: -10
Band 3:  -4
Band 4:  0
Band 5:  0
Band 6:  0
Band 7:  0
Band 8: -6

You will have to tailor this to your voice and preference.

Recently purchased a Yamaha CM500 headset with a Heil AD-1-K headset adaptor
for Kenwood (the red one).  I love the headset, much cheaper than the Heil
and performs about the same, IMHO.

The only way I managed to get the mic to work was through the rear jack
(yes, the mic was selected to front panel).

I did read in previous threads referring to mono and stereo mic connection.


Do I need to replace the stereo mic connector on the headset with a mono?

Is there a trick with the adaptor or am I messing up the set-up?
