Stormtrooper TKVox VersoAmp with Hovi Mic Tips & powered speaker - outdoor test

NEW from June 2010 from 501st-Creations. Outdoor Test: The VersoAmp! It's the same size as the TKVox NanoAmp ultra low profile amplifier (15mm x 47mm x 62mm). But whoa, hang on, it does a whole lot more. This amp now has two more crucial functions. Firstly, there is the auxiliary output with a dedicated gain control so it can be mated with a passive or active speaker. Secondly, it also has a non-powered auxiliary line-in for MP3 players or sound boards / fx units.

It took hours and hours of R&D to get the settings and balance correct to make this work across universal input and output sources. Inputs are: powered pre-amped microphone, low voltage line-in, Hovi Mic Tip output and independently controlled auxiliary line-out (passive or active complient).

Demonstrated in this video is the new VersoAmp kit, Hovi Mic Tips, Linx B-Tube auxiliary power speaker, RR connector and Vortex Fan kit.

I thought you might like to see the inside of my pimped-out lid. I spent ages getting it prepared for this video. It was about time that I did some more work on it. Still not finished yet but almost there.

The VersoAmp operates at about 1 Watt (although sounds louder) from a 9v PP3 battery or 4 x AA cells. It's a fully integrated system complete with the Amp, Microphone (passive so it doesn't require an extra pre-amp), Hovi-mix Tip Speakers, Connectors and a Powerpack to get you started. Simple to install, great sound and no feedback. Then you have the extra options:

Add a B-Tube or Mini Donghnut speaker to boost volume between 3 and 5 times. These speakers are propelled via a Lithium-Ion rechargeable power source (built-in). Connection is via the RR connector that detaches as you remove your helmet. You choose how far you want to expand your custom modular system.

I feel this bridges a big gap in the trooper communications arena. I always wanted a low power, high impact system at a very low price.

As always, peace and love to my fellow comm kit builders. I hope you all like this kit. It's now available -- just PM me for more details.
