(RST Engineering, Please read!) "The Muse"

In other words, the volume of the music audio has to
be fairly high, or the Muse will cut out during softer parts of a song.

The audio output device needs a compression circuit to keep audio levels
more near a constant output. There are portable cd players out there that
have such a feature.


Another issue is that my unit only seems to pass one of the stereo
channels through to the headset. I hear the music in both ears, but it's
only the left or right (not sure which) channel.


Your headset may have a dip switch that's factory set to mono-out a stereo
input - like the Bose headset. Try the other setting. Or it may be wired in
mono. Try it on a stereo source at home.

We need you to fix that, Jim. When you're done, will ya do something about
that Iraq situation and Global Warming?

Thanks,

I'd rather he'd work on important stuff. Like, no alcohol on mogas
in California so we can use the stuff in our Skylanes.

Hey! Run Jim for Gov!

It's been done. Instead we got the current example, who mandated that
the fuel leaves the refineries with the alcohol already mixed in.

O.K., I guess I'll get out the 2X4, and start smacking.

Jim, would you consider adding to your product line a device that feeds
music into an individual aviation headset. I would bet you could design
a pretty stout, useable device that would be superior in quality to, and
more reasonably priced than, the PSE Muse. I, for one, would be
interested in buying such a device.

Happy Flying!

My iPod *does* have an audio compression feature, and it is turned on.
Quite simply, the minimum audio signal required to power up the Muse is
higher than I would like it to be.

No switch on my headsets, they're good ol' mono DC's. Knowing that the
majority of aviation headsets are mono, PSE incorporated a mini switch
inside the Muse, to provide either stereo or mono output. The position
of said switch has no discernable effect on the music I hear in my headsets.

Aviation headsets have notoriously higher impedance than the typical earbuds
that come with Ipods and other consumer audio devices. Might be an impedance
mismatch requiring a matching transformer.

Ummm, yeah. And since the Muse is *designed* to input consumer audio
devices into aviation headsets, I would expect the built-in circuitry to
handle this just fine. IMHO, it does an "O.K" job, but not as good a
job as I would like.
