The mic uses only two wires as does the audio (mono). The OTS "hi-use" waterproof connector, which they sell for $69, could be replaced with an XLR-4 microphone connector. We already know we can get the connectors that attach to the SSB-2010 unit.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533174658741_6962" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533174658741_6962" dir="ltr">The interesting part would be how the audio quality from a $50 "walmart" unit matches against the $500 OTS unit.

One of my friends who helps out with the sub is an electrical engineer and some time ago took on, as a special project, figuring out how we might use a generic head set and mic with the SSB-2010. It was just to save money and make replacement readily available given how much OTS charges. He managed it, and it consists of a little bit of circuitry in a small enclosure with plugs for the headset and mic, and a push-to-talk button. The connector from the enclosure to the OTS unit we had to get from OTS, but luckily they sell that as a spare part. Now here's the bad news... because I'm not Cliff, Steve, or Jon, and because it was a one-off project, I'm afraid I don't have it formally documented. But if anyone needs this, I can open the box and draw what's inside.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533174658741_7153"><br clear="none"></div><div>Best,</div><div>Alec</div></div><div class="yiv3185349697gmail_extra"><br clear="none"><div class="yiv3185349697gmail_quote">On Wed, Aug 1, 2018 at 6:33 PM, Alan via Personal_Submersibles <span dir="ltr"><<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br clear="none"><blockquote class="yiv3185349697gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div class="yiv3185349697yqt7321999439" id="yiv3185349697yqt72250"><div><div>All,</div><div id="yiv3185349697m_-3419385225349789271AppleMailSignature">Is there anything special about the head sets & mike?</div><div id="yiv3185349697m_-3419385225349789271AppleMailSignature">You can get sets for under $40-.</div><div id="yiv3185349697m_-3419385225349789271AppleMailSignature">Cheers Alan<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Sent from my iPad</div><div><div class="yiv3185349697h5"><div><br clear="none">On 2/08/2018, at 9:35 AM, David Colombo via Personal_Submersibles <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs. org</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">Cliff, I will shortly have 7 sets (3) for me which gives me a spare and 4 for others.
