Differing Volumes

[Drofsereb]

Colleagues,

Any suggestions would be welcome (keep it clean and relevant though )

Fitted my Autocom Duo last week and am very happy with the results and performance, with the exception of a little volume niggle. With the volume button set quite high I find
- Passenger speech just about right
- ipod volume much too quiet
- Phone just about bursts my head, never mind ear drums

The passenger volumes are all about perfect, with the volume at minimum. I could understand if it was to do with speaker placement differing between the two helmets, but why should it be that the three different inputs to the riders side have three different volumes? Has anyone experienced this and if so could you overcome it?

On the plus side the vox settings work perfectly straight out the box with no adjustment whatsoever

The current iPods are coming supplied with their earguard setting turned on which lowers the overall volume so in theory you will not get any hearing damage from running the MP3 player too loud and sueing Apple etc. Sony have been like this for years also.

What phone are you running on via what connection?

Hi Rich,

It's a fairly basic Nokia, connected through the bluetooth dongle. As far as the Ipod goes, I have the sound check turned off and the volume limit set as far as it can go.

Cheers

So the Nokia's can vary a lot on the volume levels running via our dongles unlike Sony Ericssons which as a rule tend to always offer the same levels. To get your volume levels lowered we would need to modify your main circuit board as there are parts on the board that can be changed to lower the incoming volume down.

For the music side we can do the reverse for the low music, as in we could boost the levels up a little more if required.
