I recently took Greg Jurrens tip and purchased the New Radiosports headset RS6-CF. Or more exactly, my wife bought it for me for my Birthday. (Such a wonderful woman!) Great headset.
But after opening the box for the headphones and reading through the latest Flex Insider newsletter, I realize that I need a few more details on the mic input jack. Concerning the latest newsletter, Issue 3; The diagrams of the front and back in the newsletter are woefully small and the numbers are not legible in the diagram due to the small size. Luckily, I remembered where I had seen the diagram before and went to the Flex website and downloaded the sales bulletin again and was able to cross reference. You might want to put diagrams like that contained in a newsletter in a legible form. Just a suggestion. Second, on the mic input connector from details in the newsletter; I certainly welcome the ¼/XLR input combo; a standard connector in the audio world. Quite nice. However, the description of point 6 on the audio input connector leaves much to the imagination. The norm in the professional audio world is that the combo can allow mic level as well as line in. Some manufacturers limit the ¼ portion to line only and/or the XLR to mic only, to keep the connections logical. The description from the newsletter only describes a standard line level (+4 db) input, but says nothing of mic level and what impedance range of microphone it expects. But yet the bullet describes microphone input. Obviously, the jack must take a mic input, but I would like to know details what portion of the combo jack takes what inputs and the exact nature of the impedance range of the mic input. Being a ESSB guy, point 6 is fairly important to me. I dont expect the radio to produce phantom power, but I would like to know more detail on the input.
