Headset query: S76/S92

[Chopper Jog]

What DC headset (model/serial number) is used on the S92 and S76C+?

Cheers,

CJ

Any with an 8 ohm (high) impedence.

[Gomer Pylot]

No, 8 ohm is low impedance, used by the military. In every US helicopter I've ever flown, any standard DC headset will work, as long as it's a civilian model. Some European operators use low impedance avionics, for whatever reasons, and you may need to check the individual aircraft to make sure. As for down under, I have no idea what is used, but no matter the location, 8 ohm is low impedance, 300 ohm is high impedance.

I remember flying a Bell 412 with high impedance; Agusta Bell 412's comes from factory with low impedance system.

CJ,

I have a David Clark H10-76XL which I used on older model S76's. I then had a friendly Greenie converted it to a High Impedance (Carbon) mic, which I used on the 76C+. It also works well on the S92.

Regards,

I have used one of these for years in all sorts of helicopters.....

David Clark H10-66 Deluxe Dual Impedance Helicopter Headset

It has a toggle switch for selecting which impedance system you need.

[maeroda]

Unfortunally H10-66 dual impedance headsets doesn't work fine on modern Agusta '39 (all agusta's except 412 comes with factory high impedance intercoms).
When I plug headsets in with toogle switch on "high" it results in a extremely high "beeep" tone.

If you fly any of those fine ladies get BOSE headsets :}

[maeroda]

IMHO Bose headsets are great till they run out of batteries; after that you will end up with a gear without minimum ear protection.
This could be a big issue douring long haul flights in very noisy office.
I fly 412 and 139 in OS and Hems and my personal headgear are: peltor headset +CEP & HGU-56+CEP.
In short terms maximum passive protection.

hello ,everyboday,I m a student pilot ,come from China.Rihght now ,on my training at Bristow Academy.I wanna buy a BOSE headset X.the question is that the BOSE X is fit for Schweizer 300 CBI ,but it not fit for SIKORSKY S-76 .isn't？in the future i finish my training ，back to my country ，i will fly s76 or s92.My another colleague tell me the problem is that if you use the Bose headset in S 76, it s hardly hear clearly, there will be some noise.
So i like the bose headset very much.i wanna use the headset in s76 or s92 .but the problem is distress ME. SB kowns what s matter with this？the headset Jacks？the frequency？How can I fix this problems？

freewing,

Did you try the Search function?

Yours are not stupid questions, but a bit of research for yourself may help :hmm:

Try the Lightspeed Zulu. Much like the Bose but is $200 CDN cheaper and has Bluetooth, iPod adapter, and slide volume controls. The ANR is the same as the Bose, and wheh it runs out of battery juice (~35-40 flying hrs), can get a tad noisy. Only draw back is mic changability if you are flying different helicopter types (A++, C++). The mic also doesn't swivel around like the DC, therefore there is a right and left ear only fitting.
