RE: [ST] Portable Amplification (long)

[Rob Sukach <robs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i used the starcom1 unit this past weekend on a road trip.

listening material was books-on-tape, played from a portable mp3 player.  i
was using the helmet speakers provided with the starcom system, and wearing
a shoei z-11 helmet.

with earplugs (generic), i had to turn the volume of the mp3 player and the
starcom system all the way up to hear the words clearly.  without earplugs i
could turn the mp3 player down to about 80%.

i was a little dissapointed that i had to max out the system in order to
hear clearly, but it worked passably.  i may not have had the speakers
positioned perfectly, but it was pretty close as i tried several positions
when installing them.

i have not tried hooking up a 2-way radio or cell phone, nor have i tried
any other audio source, so take my review for what it's worth.

i need to figure out how to integrate the system with some custom molded ear
plug/speakers.

Do you have any experience with the device, especially as compared to other
similar devices?  I've heard from several AudioBoss users that the
amplification is minimal and am concerned that may be the case with other
Less
expensive than Autocomm" solutions.

Thanks,
