J&M Aeromike III

[hillrider]

Wife's mike works great below 50mph. Above that, the wind/motor noise gets too loud for her voice to overcome. Would a layer of electric tape over the mike help.

Already using the foam cover. She wears a flip- up helmet, and rides a V-Strom.

Mike location doesn't seem to matter. Up high or in front of her mouth, the noise effect is the same.

Told her to yell at me, but she seems to think that would put her doing it all the time.

Not sure about the J&M but assume it's a directional mic, like the IMC. Should have a painted dot on the mic that is intended to face the mouth.....is it backwards? If you are already familiar with this, sorry.

The aeromike has one hole in the back (pressure relief) and 12 in the front. I've tried facing it up, down, front, back. The only place I haven't tried is the back of the helmet (boom not long enough).

Try covering it with another boot then wrap electrical tape around the mike till you have a whole the size of a dime. That is what I did with my wife's and it helped

I hadn't thought of tape on the outside. Will give it a shot.

I bought a plastic boot that fits over the foam and it only has a hole that you face towards yout mouth. I have seen where some people take an old plastic 35mm film sleeve and cut or drill a hole out and slip it over the top. Check with the film dept locally and they may have some.

I saw something about using a ballon and covering it. I just have the low buck J&M's myself. If you have the rubber nirtile type gloves maybe you can cut a finger out and try it. Should serve the same purpose.

The finger of a nitrile glove got rid of all of her noise. She still has to talk a little louder at speed, but that's because of the wind noise in my helmet.

And here's one. I can hear her better without my hearing aids than with. The aid's go to clipping.
