GA headset question

[PTWOB]

This may seem like a dumb question but...
I have a set of David Clarkes with the single prong plug (military) and want to see if I can use it for general aviation. Does anyone sell a conversion kit (two plug type) and if so what exactly do I want? Sorry if this is in a previous thread. I looked, but didn't find.

Cheers,

Also, in relation to your question....does anyone know of an adapter that allows the use of a GA headset in a military aircraft?

I have a set of ENC Dick Clarks that I would like to use in the Herk.

Thanks,

Headset Adapters

You can find various adapters to go from Military to Civilian, or Civilian to military. Check this site out here for example.

They run from $40-80. It all has to do with the difference in the impedence of microphones between military to civilian. Just connecting wires together is not the key, thus the higher cost. I assume they have some sort of resistor set in there to change that impedence to work how you intend it to.

I also have a nice set of military DC's that I would like to use in a civilian bird.
