I noticed that when I unplugged the headphones from my O2 that the speaker volume was quite loud and had to be turned down. After doing some research, I learned that the Orion's headphone output is m

No... the output to the headphones is from an LM386 chip. Here are the specs: http://downloads.solarbotics.com/PDF/LM386.pdf Look down about half way for the Device Dissipation vs. Output curves. TT
Well, I just checked the specs... It definetly says in the specification page that the audio output is designed for 16-32 ohm headphones. I have been using my standard 600 ohm AKG A-240 stereo phones
I don't think higher impedance phones will damage the unit, they just won't sound as loud and may tend to sound distorted. I think I am going to go the transformer route since I like my Heil Pro Set,
For headphones try the stereo Sony MDR-7506 they cost around $100 studio quality, very comfortable, 24 ohms. Much better than any of the headphones offered in the ham community. Art WA6IPD __________
Yes, but what headphones with microphone (like the ProSet) work well? Contesting and some DXing work much better with these! 73, Duane On Thu, 16 Mar 2006 03:35:05 -0800 Rideout Family <wa6ipd@dslext
Maybe some aircraft sets but they are expensive. My ProSet fell apart like a toy. Art _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting
A 600 ohm load on a circuit made for 16 to 32 ohm loads won't damage anything. Back in the tube days, it might have but not with solid state output stages. It might lead to greater distortion from ha
I've been using military surplus "cans" for years. These are the grey ones that fit completely over the ear and have no padding about the ear openings. Look uncomfortable but they are not. Wear 'em f
Having been a broadcast Air Personality for 37 of the past 40 years, which means I used headphones professionally every day, I can tell you without reservation that the Sony 7506's are the best I hav

Tim, if those are the large diameter ear piece phones; you can get a pad for them at Walgreens Drug Stores! They are sold as Make up Sponges in the cosmetics dept. They are round and about four or ei
Actually, higher impedance phones are more sensitive and should sound louder for the same volume setting, compared to low impedance phones. At least that has been the experience with a variety of mil
Lee, you should be fine using the 600 ohm phones. With any speaker or phones, you do not have to EXACTLY match impedance the way you do with antennas and rigs. Phones don't use much power, and are us
Stuart, Well, where do I start. I am using 600 ohm phones. Very good ones. If I put the audio gain to where it is comfortable with phones then unplug them... POW! very loud. Paul at TT told me the lo
