Mike,

Connecting a microphone directly to a headset (earbuds for example) simply wont do anything. You will need audio circuitry between the two to achive any kind of audio fubction.

However, the Navy utilizes an audio device known as 'sound powered phones'. They work on the princIple of a conductor disrupting a magnetic field there by generating there own power to transmit and recieve voice communication over electrical conductors.

Is the wire a coax wire?

One with a wire in the middle, and wires wrapped around it.

Those will need to be connected separately.

Jacob,

I believe that this is pre-WW1 tech, predating coaxle.

These phones are just one big ship wide partyline. They would connect the conning tower, wheel house, lookout and/or anchor stations, engineering, radar, radio and quartermaster (not anything like an Army quartermaster).

I'm not familiar at all as to what today's "modern" Navy is using but it should be interesting.

Jacob, if it's not WW1 tech it's atleast early WW2 tech.

I think we should go back to party lines. We'd be ship shape.

(New User Here) What does this have to do with Branding/Packaging?

Is part of packaging connecting "6mm x 3.5mm two wire cable mic to the wire from a set of headphones or other audio cable with solder?"

I'm confused.

Matt, I just now saw your post.

Aparently Mike mistakenly placed his post in the incorrect catagory, it happens.
