View Full Version : David Clark H10 13.4 ANR Mod
Hello.
Does anyone have any info / idea's on getting an DC H10 13.4 ANR mod? I have heard you can send the headset away to have it done?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You.

Some years ago Tom at
Global Aviation (http://www.globalav.com.au/)
in Queensland did this for me.
He appears to be retiring soon but may still do it.
Excellent upgrade I must say.

Hi zk,
I have a set that were retrofitted by Global over 3 years ago. They are pretty good, tend to make a high pitched squeal if the ear cups get moisture in them. In addition, you will go through 9v batteries like they are lollies.

Bought a kit a few years back from the mob in the States Trent 972 provided a link to.
Was pretty easy to fit yourself, though it kind of breaks your heart pulling the guts out of a perfectly good 13.4! About the only thing still DC on it is the green muffs and the headband - all the electronics, including the wiring, is replaced.
Works really well (made the noise level in the Metro bearable, if not even comfortable), but yeah, they do chew through the old 9V batts pretty quick.
Looks like they've come down in price a fair bit too. From memory I think it cost me close on $300 4 years ago - now they're $160 and with the Oz dollar being so strong, probably not a bad mod to do (compared to the cost of a new ANR set):)

Thank you guys for the info. Ill get into it and see how I go.
Cheers,

I fitted the ANR myself (not all that hard), and, as mentioned above, found that they did chew the 9V. So i bit the bullet and decided to outlay the cash for Zulu's. To be honest, the noise cancellation is probably better in the good old modified DC13.4 than the Zulu's, plus more comfortable. For the sake of buying a constant bulk supply of 9v, it's still cheaper and I think more comfortable option than outlaying a grand for Zulus/Bose.
