GothicSnake Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 How do these throat mics work? And does anyone know if SOF actually use them? Cause like I said before, I've never seen them in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaDude Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 (edited) I know I'm taking this off-topic again but whomever claimed the rangers wore 6-color BDU's in Somalia is incorrect. Their K-pots had them, while their BDU's were 3-color. The reason being the BDU's were available in this color, however helmet covers were not. Read the book, it explains it. Pictures follow: Last image doesn't show much, through it in because it's the only image taken on the ground Oct. 3.

FuSaKi Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I wasn't going to bring this up again, but now that it's been mentioned... The pics on militaryphotos.net are from both Op Gothic Serpent (Task Force Ranger) and Op Restore Hope (everyone else, including the 10th Mountain Division). The pics of the boys in the 6 colour BDUs are not from the 75th Ranger Regt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Let's keep this on topic, please? The BDU discussion should be reserved for a separate topic, if you will. Every topic goes a bit off at some point. Let's work together to keep it from falling apart, mmmkay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothicSnake Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 COULD SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW THESE THROAT MICS WORK AND IF ANY REAL SOF USE THEM?! Sorry...but this is like the 20th time I've asked and noone has even acknowledged the question... And that hurts.... :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR_32 Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 My understanding is that throat mics pick up the sound directly from the vocal cords, unlike a boom mic they don't pickup other ambient sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothicSnake Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Ahhhhh...thanks, that's what I thought. Now, b/c it picks up sound directly from the vocal cords, does that mean you can whisper and the msg will still be audible? That would be very useful for those stealth situations where the enemy is closeby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WP33 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Monty, what're you and your pals doing with this? A paintball thingy or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRT Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) Ive tried acouple..i geuss you could say sorta cheap throat mikes while playing painball and airsoft. If you try and go cheap make sure you have a buy a expensive mic cause it wont pick up anything..it will sound like your mumbling and youll have to yell which will give off your position. But i think if you get a good one then its better then a boom mic because you dont get the breathing hard if your running around which sounds like loud static. ...if your doing this only to talk on TS2 or vent....you have to much time on your hands Edited January 3, 2005 by RR_GRT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, b/c it picks up sound directly from the vocal cords, does that mean you can whisper and the msg will still be audible? That would be very useful for those stealth situations where the enemy is closeby. ← Ok sounds works by the ear picking up sound waves: air being vibrated. A microphone works like this aswell, converting the vibrations into a digital signal. Now a throat mike goes of the vibrations made by your vocal cords, essentialy what you are saying before the air comes out of your mouth. If you whisper, it will be clearer, but not the same. Because when you whisper you change how your vocal cords move. It will sound like you are whispering. But yeah, if done right, its an ultra clear signal, no wind noise or birds etc. Essentially you can talk nice and quiet, but still be audible to your firends. As for real word SF, god knows.

Sgt.Crocodile Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 LOL thats funny how you guys love some argueing and debating about the smallest silly things...... .....thanks god i didnt ask about the batteries...... That RA-440 is awesome....thats U$ 19,00 just the mic part? How much did your custom made cost at all? Sounds very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetforce Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 After much testing, real world and on the range, the one factor that must be considered when discussing mics is the accompanying earpro - hearing protection. This is why the Liberators/Liberator IIs rank so high in terms of usability. By offering hearing protection/amplified hearing/communications all in one package, the operator gives up none of his senses and gains the ability to effectively interface with his Team. http://www.merchantmanager.com/tactical/MM...7&aProds=CTB2_D The same company we buy from also offers throat mics http://www.merchantmanager.com/tactical/MM...&aProds=TTMK2_D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
