Monoplane Communication

[MarkM]

Does anyone have any insight on linking up to the communication circuit of a single engine monoplane? The production wants to use the cockpit headsets to record dialog.

ask production if they will pay 100$ an hour for the technology transfer that will assist them to do it this way... should not take more than 4/5 hours in all...

 

apart from this - i am sure you will get your info out here with some patience. people will come to fore...

Do a search here--there are specific types of aviation audio connectors, you'll have to find out which one the particular aircraft has.  Make sure production gives you enough time to get everything working and strapped down.  A scout would be a great idea.

And don't do it for free, ok?

" communication circuit of a single engine monoplane? "

are they different from other aircraft (multi-engine, bi-plane's, etc) as discussed here a number of times...

Hi MarkM

 

Can you check the craft first?

 

There are two common systems

>1- NATO plug (U-174) which is a stubby 4 connection jack
>    on which the headphone feed is connected as follows
>    First ring back from tip of plug is 2 and is live
>   Third (rear) ring back from tip is 4 and is earth
>
>2 - Two jack  general aviation system which uses:
>     Standard 1/4" mono jack for headphone circuit (M642/4-1)

 

These are fairly hot signals so an unbalanced pad will be needed to

feed into a microphone input.
