Also, what mic should you use with this? An external device as you describe was considered during the design phase... but we decided that an external box (although easier to hook up initially) was unsightly with all the wires hanging all over, had mounting issues, and therefore was much less reliable in the long run. It also has problems accomodating different mic/radio plugs. The VoiceMax requires the cutting of a single trace within the receiver and works with any non-amplified dynamic mic. Since it's inside the rig... you set it up once... and enjoy the benefit each & every transmission without doing a thing. Hope that answers your comment/ question. www.telstar-electronics.com |

So you can't adjust the threshold on the noise gate? That's pretty lame. So you set the threshold to trigger at a certain level, like during normal driving. So what happens when you are towing a boat up a hill with the windows open? How do you prevent it from chattering like a chimp with the hiccups? Does it have hysteresis to smooth out the chatter? If so, how long do you have to hum into the mic before you can start talking? If not, and you have to set it high enough to prevent chatter, how loud do you have to speak so your audio isn't chopped up? I don't think you've thought through this whole noise gate thing, Brian. You certainly haven't tested it much under real conditions, if at all. If you did you wouldn't be selling it. And BTW, since your non-linear linear has been discontinued, why won't you post the schematic? |

No. But I would give it a shot, just for the purpose of experimenting. Vinnie S. |

Very good, Brian!!! |

I think it is very germane to the evaluation of your product. james |

I think it is very germane to the evaluation of your product. The noise gate is not dynamic. It's set at the time of installation to the anticipated ambient background noise level. It certainly does have limitations. The S/N ratio of the audio should be high in order to take full advantage of the gate. This means that talking two feet away from the mic will not work well. The noise gate is extremely effective when set with the user speaking directly into the mic from perhaps a distance of an inch or two. This scenario allows a very large signal to noise ratio. By setting the gate this way... significant background noise can be blocked during low/non speech periods. The gate response time is different depending on which way the gate is going. The time it takes to break over the gate (quiet to speaking) is around 1mS. The decay (speaking to quiet mute) is gradual and has been set to around 0.5S. The decay is not an instant transistion (like the break over). This was done purposely to avoid any choppy effect from muting too rapidly during normal speech. www.telstar-electronics.com |

Hope that answers your comment/ question. www.telstar-electronics.com I don't think people want to screw with cutting or hacking their radio. I think you would sell more as an external box. If amplifiers were this way, they would never sell. That is why people buy them separately, granted, the size would have some effect. But you can still get stinger boards. Revisit the idea.
