I had this problem. My solution was to use the radio to switch between
mic's using the menu system. The first one I tried (KR2) was no good - the boom mic would break through with the engine on. Then I exchanged that for an ATR833 and this totally suppressed the unused mic. The trick is to wire the PTT switch to both Left and Right channels and just use the radio to select Left (headset mic.) or Right (boom mic.) I believe that DG use a relay that switches automatically with the engine circuit. A complication ready to fail if you ask me! Frankly, I rarely use the boom mic, I just put the headset behind the headrest and use the headset mic. which is possibly better than the dynamic boom mic because it is noise cancelling by design (the sound from both sides cancels out). I am tempted to remove the boom mic. because it is in the way, except that is a back-up.... End of message...

Motorgliders often have both boom microphones and aviation headsets. Obviously, the headsets are used when the motor is running and the boom microphones are used when in gliding mode. It wouldn't work well to leave the boom microphones live when the aviation headsets are in use because they would pickup the engine noise. How are motorgliders wired so that only the headset mics are used when the headsets are plugged in? I suppose that a "boom mic enable" switch could be used to disable the boom mics when not in use. But I think there is a way to have the boom microphones disabled by a switch being opened mechanically when the headset mic plug is plugged into the mic jack. Standard aviation mic jacks don't have any way to accommodate that. Any suggestions? The goal is to make it intuitive for the pilot - and reliable. Best Regards, Paul Remde |
