Panel mounted microphone source?

The one linked above is an electret with an amplifier and an
integrated voltage regulators. The gain is adjustable and can be
adjusted for each installation. No noise cancellation and apparently
it has a circle directional characteristic.

The other one (ho M5) is similar (amplified electret) but I don't
believe the amplifier is adjustable. 400-20K frequency response and
600ohm. Don't have any info on its spacial response model.

BTW, I think I found the problem with my mic to be a broken power
lead. I will test it and see how it goes. But looks like now I have a
couple of sources if I need to replace it.

Hi Morteza
I will be very interested to hear your transmissions this spring/
summer.
If it works well, I will consider to install one too to get rid of the
boom mic.

Is there any technical info about directional sensitivity, noise
cancellation and/or other properties ?

My fix to the old mike didn't work and I ended up ordering one from Mike Beier (advertised on http://www.segelflug.de/) and finally got a chance to test fly it on a long flight. I am very happy to report it worked perfectly. As part of my 6 hour flight I talked to three different approach controllers as well as many other gliders and everyone reported the quality of audio to be excellent. I highly recommend these.

Now the interesting question is why we don't see more gliders use the panel mounted mikes? It seems to be the perfect solution given there is no clutter with the boom mike and you just speak normally to your panel. No more bending your neck to get close to the mike!

Good question! What model did you end up buying, and how much did it
cost? I'd love to get rid of the boom mic!

Cheers

I like the idea, but I'm curious about making things work with a
self-launcher.

Don't start the engine? I think this is not an option for motor gliders, gliders that have a lot of potential electrical noise, and ones that have a noisy cockpit in general.
