David Clark H10-76 Conversion Kit – How to (H10-76XL)
by CpU on Apr.11, 2010, under Acousticom, Advice, Aviation, Aviation Headset, Education, Random
Do you have an old David Clark H10-76 or David Clark H10-76XL laying around from your years in the military? Or you can buy a H10-76 for cheap off eBay.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could turn that nice DC Headset into an aviation headset for less then 80 bucks?
If you are ready to convert your David Clark military headset to civilian aviation, then follow these steps.
 |
Step 1: You will need to buy a few things to make sure the headset will work in your aircraft correctly. Because military headsets are low impedance and aviation headsets are high impedance, we must first obtain the right microphone impedance. A 150 Ohm amplified electret microphone will do the trick! |
| Now you may also need to convert the U-174/U connector on the headset to the two plug PJ-055 and PJ-068 connectors. If you are in a Helicopter, this step is not necessary.
Some may need to replace the earphones. Military headset earphones are low impedance and that can sometimes cause malfunction with other standard high-impedance headsets. By converting the 19 Ohm earphones to 300 Ohm earphones, you achieve a full conversion for the H10-76 headset. |
  |
 |
Now where do you buy these things as a kit?Well Acousticom would be the cheapest place, but many websites supply their versions on this kit.
Acousticom offers three versions: |
| H10-76 Conversion Kit ($72) This is the basic kit. You will get: This would be for someone who is converting the H10-76(XL) to a civilian airplane that flies alone. The earphones have not been converted to high-impedance yet, so some pilots may report a malfunction when using more then 1 headset in the aircraft. |
 |
 |
H10-76 Conversion Kit Plus ($120) This is the full conversion kit for the H10-76 David Clark headset. You will get: With the full conversion, you have a fully functional Aviation headset for less then buying a new one. |
| H10-76 Conversion Kit Deluxe ($150) This is the full conversion kit with boom upgrade for the H10-76 David Clark headset. You will get: With this conversion kit plus upgrade you now have a high end headset. You never knew that your old military headset could be used for something. |
  |
| Step 2: You will now need to install the kit into your headset. Each item has screws that loosen the leads to the element. You will need a small screw driver (similar to ones you use on glasses) to replace the microphone and earphone elements. Plug the headset into the adapter, and then that’s it! You are all done. |

Star Trek (2009)
by CpU on Dec.16, 2009, under Random
| Director: | J.J. Abrams |
| Writer: | Roberto Orci Alex Kurtzman |
| Released: | May 8, 2009 |
| Genre: | Action, Adventure, SciFi |
| Netflix Rating: | 4.8/5 |
| IMDbe Rating: | 8.2/10 |
| CpU Rating: | 9/10 |
So we all grew up with Star Trek. Whether we watch it or not is a different story. I’m sure some of us either had that geeky brother (or sister) who LOVED Star Trek and couldn’t get enough of it. I went to a few conventions with my brother a while back and they are actually fun, and the fan base of Star Trek is quiet large and active.
So with that said, on to the review. I am not a “fan” of Star Trek, but from what the first few minutes showed me; I can tell I am going to like it. Although it is very unfortunate the movie had to start off this way, but it was for a point none – the – less.
Yay a sports car in Star Trek! I am liking it already… Who said you always need high tech things!
The story begins with Spock and where he arises. While you learn something about his life that opens your eyes to who he is through out the story. Spock is also played by Zachary Quinto which you know might know from his roles as Sylar in the T.V. hit Heroes
All cadets get called into action which is the start of the crew that every viewer remembers from the old Star Trek series.
Although Kirk, played by Chris Pine, was almost left behind due to some cadet “fun.”
Then comes the Asian dude from Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. Apparently he’s license to drive that big rig and use ninja swords that retract! Very cool. He’s always good to see in a movie…
Ahh, that cracks me up.
Overall the movie starts out good and stays good through out. While jumping into some funny bits where Kirks hand swell up like a balloon spark the mood of enjoyment even more.
Although I never did understand how space torpedoes make certain areas of ships only explode with out causing problems like being the huge gapping hole to the outside?
CpU thinks you should get this next time you out looking for a movie!
