a) I have been having a problem with one of my Dave Clark copy headsets. I
noticed a lot of noise and the reception breaks off when I wiggle the Mic
cable at the plug end. I attempted to dismantle the mic plug and found it
filled with a silicon like substance so I just about had to destroy it to
gain access to the wires. I have bought some (very expensive!) plugs to
replace the originals but am not sure now which wire goes where. I also
have what appears to be a dead short from one of the wires to the ground
although I don't appear to have this on my other headset. Can anyone help
or point me to a web site where I can sort out how to rewire the headset
plug?
b). Thinking I had better get something better, I bought a second hand
original Dave Clark headset through Ebay. I have just plugged it in and
switched on the radio and found that there is a constant hiss in the
headphones, like a swarm of bees. This becomes louder as I turn up the
headset volume but remains constant when I increase the radio volume. Have
I bought a dud or might I get rid of this if I try to adjust the sidetone /
mic gain again?
