"Ron Hardin" wrote in message ... THe new Heil Clear Speech arrived; save your money, it's a piece of junk. Audio levels all wrong (no output power), produces feedback under circumstances where it should not, apparently unshielded, audio seems distorted even when bypassed. I would not be surprised if the unit were defective, but I fear it is not. Its noise reduction amount is offered in steps; these seem okay (factoring out the distortion) though all steps are less noise reduction than the Am-com Inc units offered as its single step. ``Bypass'' doesn't bypass the unit; and you lose the bass response, and no audio through if the unit isn't powered. It shares this fault with the original Am-com unit, though the Am-comII remedied it by changing the function of its single switch to actually bypass the unit when it powered it off. (Cost was that the unit started cold when you switched it in.) Physically, I can't figure out how you're supposed to mount the thing; they have one idea in mind but I don't know what it is. So anyway, it's a large odd shaped piece of plastic that doesn't work. If you liked the Am-com version of Clear Speech, you'll hate this. Maybe somebody else will pick up the Clear Speech algorithm and do it right. It's great for noise reduction; I have three of the Am-com base units around the house, and had high hopes here. -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. Morning Ron I thought you got to use a Clearspeech way before this. Didn't you order it like 2 months ago? Thanks for the heads up. I was ready to either order this one or the 599zx. Isn't it amazing how things change. All I heard was how great this unit was but I respect your opinion more then others since you know what you're talking about. Read some of the reviews on it and you'll see what I mean. Now I read that the JPS 12 is actually very good.... Lucky |
