I have a radio Eonon GA5155F (MTCB) with integrated microphone. I wanted to add an external microphone to improve the quality of my voice during calls. I have no problems echoing or of disturbing background noise. I would just make me feel as close and clear, approaching the quality of my voice to that during a normal call with the phone without a hands-free, because sometimes refer me to feel a little bad.
I bought a Kenwood external microphone (KCA-MC 10) and I connected at female placed on the back of the radio, but the microphone is not detected appears. I have done the test of blowing the external microphone during a call, but the receiver could not hear no noise; on the contrary if you blew on the built-in microphone on the front of the car radio bezel, the receiver feels the annoying noise of the breath on the microphone.
I tried 2 different microphones equal, therefore exclude that both are defective.
I would understand if my car radio accept a second external microphone, or my car radio has something wrong.
Or if I'm wrong type of microphone
and above all I would understand if a second microphone functioning, would function as main microphone, or in union at least built-in microphone, so as to increase the quality of my voice and make me feel stronger and clearer.

You must check if chassis connector is mono and your mic is stereo it might be connected wrong to the wrong channel.
I know that the microphone should be mono , since it has only one circle into the jack . But how do I control the radio ?
however, I have only one connector for the microphone on the back .

Try a stereo connector on your mic and test both channels.
I have tried to insert a splitter that I had at home that has the stereo connector , but nothing changes .
but I did not understand how I should " test both channels " I only have a female connector on the back of the stereo

Use a male stereo connector push it in to the female connector unscrew the top. Use clips to test the top and than the middle
track. Ground connected all the time of course.

Hi,
I want to connect an external speaker and microphone to my Qtek9090. I thought the easiest way to do it is to simply cut the headset wire, plug the 2.5mm connector in and connect my speaker and mic to those wires. I have taken apart the headset that comes with it and there's the following wires in it:
wire1:
- blue
- copper(1)
- red
- red/green
wire2:
- white
- copper(2)
From taking apart the volume slider I think blue and copper(1) are the wires for the audio (L&R). But I'm not sure. I can't figure out what the mic and ground wires are :?
Does anyone know more? Anyone tried looking at this?
Grtz,
DUTCH
just feed a low level audio signal to the wires. You should distinguish left and right. The remaining one must be the mic....
or...
buy an adapter. Both expansys and proporta.com sell adapters.
Nigel
I've been searching for those adapters and found many. The only problem is: none of them have a microphone connector :? .
Now I might have an option here, but i'm not sure this one suits the Qtek9090 (Blue Angel) I have: if I use this one. I could connect my speakers to the stereo 3.5mm headphone jack and my microphone to the mono 3.5mm headset jack.
The only thing is: what part of the headset connector is the microphone? The tip?
Grtz,
DUTCH

Do you know if it's compatible with nokia headset ?
like this one :

No, I've tried with a Nokia wired headset and it didn't work at all.
I ordered the audio connector mentioned (this one).
When recording a note for example everything works just fine, BUT when in 'phone mode' (making a phone call) it doesn't work.
Anyone got a clue/solution for this? Or should I start thinking about making this work via the 22-pin connector?
Grtz,
DUTCH
9090 should support audio from the bottom connector. I assume you want to use it in your car. If you want to connect a external speaker you should amplify the signal. There is a DIY carkit on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/Connectors . Maybe this could be handy. Also my phone supplier told me that in about a week there will be a complete carkit WITH decent Carcomm cradle and GPS connection (all wired so no BT connections needed). I will buy this when it is released so will keep you guys updated.
if I use this one. I could connect my speakers to the stereo 3.5mm headphone jack and my microphone to the mono 3.5mm headset jack.

I purchased this one for my old TMobile xda I and the Blue Angel.
Both are headphone jacks and niether cna be used for a mic. There is a built in mic and mute button (that you have to hold)

Hi,
Since the ExtUSB connector is mono (or at least that is what I have figured out from the schema) I am looking for a bluetooth or wired device that will have a mic (3.5mm) connector. I would like to record with my TyTN II.
Any of those out there?, I have been searching for hours with no luck.
I want to use my Sony ECM-DS70P stereo mic (no amplifier) to record.
I would be perfect if the same gizmo would have a 3.5mm out connection for headphones.
The thought is to stream audio data out to a server for live stereo sound (live music, open spaces, etc). Mono could do, but the difference is enormous on the mono mics I have tried, the sound space is lost.
Another solution would be to get an mp3 player with bluetooth such as the TEAC MP-500BT, but I don't know if they will work together and if the TEAC has an amplifier for the line-in. And why have 2 devices anyways?
Thanks,
- jorge

this is the closest i've seen
guess you could go DIY but i suppose you had to deamp the signal to avoid it to overstear the mic in the pda
I thought about opening up one of these and soldering a 3.5mm connector on the mic wires but then I found out that the ExtUSB connector is mono. That is why I thought that there may be easier to go bluetooth.
- j
yeah all mics in all pda's are mono it really make no sense to do stereo with only 1 mic
you can just use one of the lines and ground to connect a mic
if there is a bluetooth device which meets your requirements i've never seen it
nor do i believe the market is big as recording 1 audio source in stereo dont make sense stereo is for more then 1 audio source
so if there is a bt device i'd say it's a nitche product which will likely cost
Makes sense. The difference between Sony ECM-DS70, which is a low budget (EUR 50) mic, and recording mono with pricier mics is huge, the detail is better on the mono mics I tried, but I get no sense of space which is what I am aiming at. Thus I need to get the sound into the tytn somehow.
Hi!
I have this for some time: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846
(Actually, I baught it in a store so I'm not sure it's excatly the same but it looks the same)
Recently, I baught this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Headphone-HTC-VIVA-exclusive-Duragadget/dp/B001LIM8F0/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_2
When I plug the old one in my HTC Touch Cruise and then stereo headphones, to it's 3.5mm jack (without microphone), I can use phone's mic and plugged headphones to talk.
When I do the same with new one I can't use phone's mic. I can hear the other side through headphones but I can't be heard.
What might be a reason for this?
And can I fix this problem somehow so I don't have to unplug headphones each time I want to talk if I'm listening to the music?
Thank you very much in advance!
P.S. FM Radio works with both adapters.
there is no std for 3.5mm mini-jack with mic included
the org spc is only audio out
some headset makers add another ring which don't interfere with the
left, right and ground connectors
but there is no std they can follow
thumb rule is if mic is not mentioned in relation with the 3.5mm adaptor
mic is not supported as they use the pure audio out mini-jack std
thumb rule 2 is if mic is mentioned but it's not the same manufactures
in both end they may not implement mic in 3.5mm the same way and it will
only work with audio out
Thank you for your quick answer but I'm not sure you understood me.
I do not use external mic.
In first case I use 3in1 adapter and my stereo headphone with 3.5mm connector without microphone.
In second case I use this simple in-line adapter and same headphones.
In first case, during call, I can hear the other side through headphones, and the other side hears me through built-in-phone microphone.
In second case, during call, I can hear the other side through headphones, but other side can't hear me.
In both cases FM radio works well. I mention this because I saw that mic and FM antenna are on the same pin in USBext (if that's important since I don't use external mic)
about fm then all it needs is an antenna connected to to it
any stereo maybe even mono connected with a wire will do
heck you can cut off the airplugs from a cable and use it for fm
normaly when one connects a headset speaker and mic on the device itself
are muted
even if it's a headset without mic so cool that your fist case works at all
This first one adapter is original HTC. It has 2.5mm, 3.5mm, USBext for data and charging and USBext for headset connectors. And unfortunately it is too big for any other use except in car (to connect to car's audio aux input) or at home (to connect to home AV reciever).
So I baught this cheap simple in-line adapter. And it is suprisingly well built. And it works great as stereo adapter. Only problem is that it turns of microphone.
Anyhow I did some additional testing.
I tried SE Xperia X1 since it has built in 3.5mm connector. and it works like this first one. That means microphone works.
I also tried plugging this first adapter into my touch cruise and then plugging this second adapter into it's USBext for headset. The result is the same as if I plug second adapter directly into touch cruise. Microphone doesn't work.
Interesting thing is that in all cases (including Xperia) when I listen to the music with external headphones soudn comes only out of them. But when phone starts ringing sound comes from both headphones and from built-in-phone external speaker.
!!! Maybe the most important thing is that microphone doesn't work even if only second adapter is plugged into the phone, without headphones plugged in it.
Obviously this second non-HTC adapter doesn't work as HTC originally planned that kind of adapter to work and now I need a way to fix this.
It seems to me that this adapter is maybe stereo adapter with mic, but I don't have that kind of headset to try it. And if I had it I'm not sure it would be the right one since there's no standard for them.
As I see it when I plug in adapter phone somehow detects it and changes some registry key which mutes microphone.
Does anybody know what to change in registry so that phone doesn't mute microphone?
Or how can I see what changes in registry when I plug in the adapter?
Do you think if I manage to fix this, will that affect bluetooth headset also?
Thank you very much for any help!
I have a standard att galaxy note 2, not rooted.
Typically I use my bt headset to talk on the phone. Recently I learned my car has an aux line in so I can also listen to music.
I used a 3.5mm jack for a while with respecrive rca adapter to my phone. This was nice, and added bonus if my bt headset battery died, the phone conversation would play over the car's speakers and the phone's mic picks up my voice.
The cables were irritating, so I purchased a miccus bt rx thing. Small, slides right on the side of my center console, out of the way.
Music plays fine, but cannot figure out for the life of me how to get the phone conversation onto the car speakers. Instead, the phone shifts to speakerphone. Why won't this work like the wired adapter?
Is this possible?
Thank you for your time, sorry for the silly question.
Are you sure that the phone audio option is selected in the BT settings?

Simply put, the problem is with the 3.5mm male plug that goes into the headset port. Does this new cable have 3 or 4 pins? If it has 4 pins (the regular 3 pins plus the one for the microphone) then if the resistance (measured in OHMs) isn't correct, then the phone should switch over to SpeakerPhone (as set in the firmware).
So in effect, there isn't a problem with your phone, its just that you may have a cable with the 4 pins, but since your radio-adapter isn't doing anything with the microphone portion, then the phone switches over as it is supposed to.
Edit: Ignore the above, I didn't realize you were doing this with a bluetooth connection. Your Bluetooth receiver may be outdated and not support the "handsfree" profile.
Hi,
As reported by many people the internal mic was terrible on my unit for calls. So I had the installer replace it with an external mic. However, my wife still reports that it sounds like "there is an alien on the line". I have attached a picture of the work done by the installers - is there anything else I can do to improve the call quality?
(in the photo, the external mic cord is unplugged but can be seen - it plugs into the 'socket' next to the bluetooth board. I was thinking that the external mic cord is not shielded all the way to the plug, so this may be an issue?)
The other issue I now have is I seem to have lost the ability to use voice on the unit. I can see the original mic wire has been cut, but I had assumed it would plug in to the socket near the bluetooth board anyway, so the external replacement is just moving the mic nearer to my position - if that makes sense
Thanks in advance!
