Bluetooth to a David Clark PRO-X2 headset. So far, so good. Gives excellent warnings of CAS, ATZ’s and ADSB traffic. But the volume is too low to pick up warnings in a noisy C152. Any ideas? Thanks for your advice!

I run SD on my Android smartphone and have a wired connection from the phone's audio connector to my Trig radio's Ext Audio In. I usually fly with a pair of Clarity Aloft in-ear headsets for myself and wife and the SD audio warnings are of good volume. Yesterday I took a friend flying and used a pair of "traditional" headsets and found the SD audio warnings very low level and just usable. So, your audio level issue may be due to the headset you are using. Hope this helps....

Hi Tony, I have a similar set up (when I'm using it), inasmuch as the iPad (with SD), EFIS and Pilot Aware are fed to an audio mixer (with amp) and then off to my Trig internal intercom and thence DC One-X headsets. With this set up the volumes are usable. If, however, I connect SD to my headset through Bluetooth then Martha is far too quiet (I've suggested my wife might like to get a BT transmitter installed and am still recovering). When I am next at the aircraft I will test the Bluetooth connection by streaming some music etc and comparing that with Marta's test voice. An interesting experiment will be to turn off the ANR and see if that makes any difference. Cheers, Paul
