Hooking 2 headsets to K3S

What is the recommended way to hook 2 headsets to a K3S? Is a stereo "Y"
cable sufficient? -Doug- KD7DK ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

I bought a Behringer Microamp HA400 that I use at Field Day. No, a stereo Y cable did not do the trick. Having separate audio controls for the two listeners is important - without it, someone is always complaining of too loud or too soft.

I just plug one into the rear jacks, usually also the mic of my CM500. Then plug the phones of a second CM500 into the front phones jack (w/adapter).
For many of our club events we leave the CONFIG/Speaker+phone set to “YES”. so that onlookers may listen as well But using phones for operator and logger allows some isolation from chatter of by-standers standing around. …bill nr4c > On May 26, 2016, at 11:50 AM, Doug Kingston <[hidden email]> wrote: > > What is the recommended way to hook 2 headsets to a K3S?

Doug,
I would plug one in the back and the other in the front. The headphones will work together. If you have mics on the headsets, just change the MIC SEL menu to activate the one you want (or create a macro). 73, Don W3FPR On 5/26/2016 11:50 AM, Doug Kingston wrote: > What is the recommended way to hook 2 headsets to a K3S?

I use the HA400 for contesting too. Its perfect for s several pairs of headphones and lets everyone have their own gain control.

Another user of the HA400, very useful with the KX3 for setting levels to the soundcard and the headphones and the powered stereo speakers.

Doug, My wife (NE1F) and I use 2 headsets with our K3 but not directly. We use a Behringer Mic mixer and Headphone mixer. This approach works very well for us. Mary has the inputs set different on the Mixer. We also use the extra inputs for the canned outputs for voice keying to get into the radio. We have an AMP800 and A XENIX802. I did make a small mod (simple voltage divider) to the phantom voltage as its designed for the 48 volt pro mics and we use PC CM500 headsets. This has worked well for us for many years.
