Some of the pilot shops sell them. Unfortunately, I can't recall which ones at the moment.
February 20, 200917 yr If you are handy with a soldering iron, you can make your own far less than what I've seen them going for. I only paid $50 for my current headset for pete's sake!Here are the plans I have found. As you can see, there's not much to it, certainly not enough to justify the $30+ prices I've seen. Really all it does is provide power to drive the headset's mic. The author of the article claims that he has no volume issues due to the impedance mismatch between the headset and sound card. If you do have problems, it shouldn't be difficult to find how to build an impedance match circuit and include it in the same box with the mic amp.http://www.flightsim.com/main/howto/adapter.htm
February 22, 200917 yr It works very well with my headset though mine isn't a DC. The mic is nice and sensitive so I can talk quietly when using my aviation headset. All my game headsets requir loud speech to be heard properly.The two most expensive parts are the case and the mic socket. The mic sockets are a non-standard size so I had to order mine from overseas. Steven.
