On this page we are discussing how to avoid problems when using the the Avee microphones.
In most cases the problem can be solved by the user, but it happens that we need to do some thinking before we come up with a solution.
If you face a problem – please browse through the tabs below before contacting us. Pay particular notice to the Adjusting the audio speaker level information.
Even if you do not solve the issue yourself here, we feel confident you will get a better understanding of what is causing the problem.
When contacting us – please feel free to use Facebook, email or phone even if it in most cases for us makes it a bit easier to get a written problem description.
Facebook has proved itself to be very good for support and sales questions. We do normally respond back within 24 hours.
The correct procedure to set the headphone volume is according to the following:
Let the back seat passengers adjust the volume on their (Avee) headsets if they feel the audio is to loud.
Remember that they can usually not set the output levels between the the radio & intercom individually.
In most aircrafts the audio output level can be adjusted individually for the pilot and the copilot.
On smaller aircrafts the audio level in the back seats is usually controlled by the audio level in the front seats.
When adjusting the volume, always start by setting the volume level on the individual headset to maximum.
If extreme noise is detected in the headphone speakers when receiving audio (radio or intercom), this is usually caused by a complete mismatch between the audio output level from the radio/intercom and what the headset can handle.
Please follow the procedure in Adjusting the audio speaker level tab.
The microphone output level is sensitive when it comes to the position of the microphone and distance from your mouth.
On the Avee we are using a noise cancelling microphone to get as little cockpit noise as possible in both the intercom and on the radio. The nature of this is that it picks up sound from the near proximity ONLY.
It will not pick up sound from distances more than 10mm.
Here we have two very important things to remember:
Permanent or sporadic loss of audio in both headset left and right side of the headset means that there is either a bad connection or no connection at all between the Avee microphone and the headset.
The golden rule here is that if you can not hear yourself talking – something is wrong.
For sporadic loss of audio on the Bose 700, please check out the ‘Bose 700 issues’ tab.
Check the following points:
The Avee solution is based on a perfect connection between the headset and the Avee microphone.
If this is not the case, it can lead to speaker audio drop outs and potential loss of ATC and intercom communication in left ear, right ear or even both ears.It is therefore extremely important to follow the descriptions given when installing the Avee microphone and the adhesive magnet to the headset.
We have made a video showing how the installation is done on the Avee microphone and you can find that here: Avee Setup Instructions.
Occasional loss of sound in right ear is most likely caused by the fact that the Avee microphone is detecting audio (or noise) from the aircraft right channel, and then switches to stereo mode.
In case your aircraft is not equipped with a stereo audio system, you can loose the audio in the right ear when this happens.
To verify that this really is the problem, unplug the Avee from the aircraft for a few seconds (unplugging the thin 5.2mm connector is enough), and plug back again.
If you now get audio in both ears, the mono / stereo setting is the problem.
This behavior is easily fixed by forcing the Avee microphone to always be in mono mode.
Follow the description found in the Avee microphone User Guide and the chapter ‘Changing mono & stereo mode’.
The User Guide can be downloaded from the Download area.
Please note: this setting will only work for units shipped after November 21th 2019. If you have a system purchased before this date, please contact us.
The Bose 700 is an extremely good headset for aviation use, but it has its ‘issues’.
For some unknown reason, Bose decided to make the on/off keys (and all the other keys) as keys that can easily be invoked by accident– for example when you adjust the headset position on your head.
Our experience is that it takes some time to get used to the position of these keys – and learn how not to touch them by accident.
But when you do get used to it – it really works well.
This is simply caused by the fact that the Bose 700 has been switched off: It then reverts to maximum volume !
The volume on the Bose 700 is adjusted by swiping your finger up/down on the right headphone when the Bose 700 is turned on.
Swiping your finger up/down on the right headphone when Bose 700 power is turned off, does not give any result.
The Bose 700 have a fairly ugly issue when it is switched on: it goes completely silent for approximately 10 seconds.
This is the start-up / boot period for the headset, but making it go dead for this long period is a bit over the edge.
Hopefully Bose will issue an software update – fixing this issue.
