What is your intercom setting?

[MPERL]

Passenger and I both have 3/4 helmets most of the time. We are getting too much wind noise through our J/M headsets. What do you have your intercom set at>

With intercom on, push the volume button. Intercom volume will be displayed in number, then turn volume knob to increase or decrease intercom volume.

We had a lot of wind noise too. There is a product called Mic-mutes that kills both mics when you tap the CB transmit lever so you get rid of the wind noise picked up by the mics. If you don't have a CB transmit button for your passenger you can order one and then the passenger can also turn on and off the Mic-mutes and transmit on the CB. You don't hold the transmit lever or button to use the intercom you just momentarily tap it to turn the mics on or off. It doesn't effect the rest of the system it just disables the mics.

Will it work if you don,t have a cb, but do have the controls.

I don't know the answer to this question, someone else on here probably does but if not I believe the guy that makes them is a member on the gl1800riders forum.

• Mic-Mutes is an electronic system that measures timing of activation of either the rider's or passenger's CB radio transmit switches. When either CB transmit switch is momentarilyoperated for less then .5 seconds and released, it causes Mic-Mutes to toggle both microphones (ON to OFF) or (OFF to ON) for the intercom. Note that for the GL1800 Gold Wing, Mic-Mutes will work without the CB radio option installed.

Heres a twofold answer. My wife has tinnitis due to meds in her ears . So I have a volume controller inline for me. We run our headset music volume about 18. One of the things I found with the drivers mic is it picks up wind from the open vent in the windshield even if you have the foam and rubber cover. If you get a lot of wind noise and you and the missus dont talk a bit turn down your microphone volume. I normally run the mic volume at 9 and the mute setting at 9 also. With a lot of wind Ill turn the mic vol down as far as 7 and then turn it up to talk. You kind of have to find your happy spot playing with the settings due to your helmets and your wing.

I usually keep the mic volume at 11 - 13, and the music mute at 20. We have 3/4 helmets, but we both have bubble shields. Behind the windshield I am OK, but up a bit and back some Gloria gets more wind, which causes the VOX to kick in and mute the music. We have a push-on, push-off button from Air Rider for her mic, but I usually have to remind her to use it.
(Slightly off topic) I am thinking of going with Sena SMH-10 as they are bluetooth, so there are no wires, and have a noise reduction function (which would be great on the stock intercoms) , as well as being able to play our phones and music players separately.

I bought the J&M headset cable with the in-line volume controller for me. Probably the best thing I bought. http://wingstuff.com/products/21084-p-series-lower-8-pin-cord-w-volume-control?context=jm-electronics_audio

She has the J&M passenger controller. http://wingstuff.com/products/4172-j...ctronics_audio

She usually likes to listen to the music more than I so I just turn down the volume. If she wants me she just taps me on the shoulder. Depending on the situation I also turn the mic volume down a little and that reduces the noise from her mic but then I cannot hear her that well. The wind noise is very annoying but just cannot get myself to spend the money on the mic-mutes. Also my wife does not need any more buttons to push. Mine is enough
