Discontinued Heil Sound BM-17-DIC - AR Lightweight Dual-Sided Boomset

The BM-17-DIC is a lightweight dual-side headset designed for Amateur Radio use.

The speakers used in the BM-17 are very sensitive and don’t require much AF gain from the transceiver. The frequency response is 200 Hz – 5 kHz with very low distortion. The ear pads are replaceable acoustic foam.

The BM-17-iC headset, using our iC electret element, was created for use with Icom radios. This element has been made to utilize bias power in iCOM radios which addresses low-gain issues that arise when using dynamic elements.

The microphone audio for the BM-17 series terminates into a 1/8” mono plug while the headphone terminates into a 1/8“ stereo plug (1/8” to 1/4” adapter included).

The use of the AD-1 series mic adapters allows simple interface with popular transceiver inputs. The adapter cable has a 1/8” female input jack for the headset microphone while the 1/4” female that exits the adapter is the PTT (push to talk) line for the Heil foot switch or hand switch. The 1/8” or 1/4” stereo plug goes into the headphone jack on the transceiver front panel.
