Easy to install and works great

  • By Andy from Richmond Hill GA USA on Tuesday, November 15, 2016
  • Pros: It works, and since it's David Clark, will probably outlast me...
  • Cons: Didn't come with the foam cover...
  • Review: Had an old mic on my DC headset that picked up waaaaay too much background noise to the point that it was unusable. Swapped out that old mic for this one and the background noise if gone. Replaced it at my kitchen table in about two minutes. Couldn't have been easier.

Works as advertised

  • By Avidflyer from Prattville AL USA on Tuesday, November 04, 2014
  • Pros: Best upgrade for price.
  • Cons: None noted
  • Review: Installed these on two of my old h10-30s and put a whole new life into my reliable old DC headsets. The old carbon mics were all but unusable in my old Stinson. Now with the new electret mics the intercom and all transmissions are crystal clear. Also use them in the Mooney for IFR ops and they worked great.

Regenerating a Timeless Product

  • By A Customer from Seattle, WA on Thursday, January 25, 2018
  • Pros: Great sound improvement
  • Cons: No installation guide (although pretty simple to figure out)
  • Review: My uncle used to fly and as soon as he found out that I'm looking to pursue a career in aviation, he was kind enough to give me his DC H10-30 headset from 30 years ago. The headset looks brand new, and with the updated mic, it sounds new too. Couldn't be happier with this little retrofit kit! Saved me a ton of money on my first headset and will keep the H10-30 for years to come.

nice upgrade

  • By A Customer on Sunday, August 30, 2015
  • Pros: improved noise cancelling
  • Cons: none
  • Review: This retrofit kit was just what I needed. Easy to install, and the new mic provides much better transmitted voice quality than the old dynamic microphone, with minimal background noise.

M-1 to M-7

Great investment!

  • By Peter from RSA on Sunday, October 10, 2010
  • Review: I had a lot of problems flying with the H10-30 headset and the M1DC mic - specifically in noisy environments like an RV7 cockpit. Could never figure out what's wrong. Even ATC complained about my comms quality. I read about this retrofit kit on mypilotstore and realized my problem wasn't unique. Bought the kit and fitted it, and flew with it yesterday. Massive improvement and problem solved!!

Great upgrade from a M-1/DC mic

  • By John R. from Texas on Monday, May 04, 2009
  • Pros: Better sound quality.
  • Cons: None
  • Review: There is such of a difference from the M-1/DC mic. It cuts out so much ambient noise and distortion. It was very easy to install. It is a plug and play installation.

David Clark M-7/DC Amplified Electret Mic (Retrofit Kit) VERY EFFECTIVE

  • By ERNEST from Boise ID USA on Friday, April 07, 2023
  • Pros: New mike transmissions are as good as it gets.
  • Cons: No cons as long as it fits your headset.
  • Review: My old David Clark headset went from nearly useless to absolutely modern sounding transmissions with this retrofit kit. My partner in the plane converted two more DC headsets.

A lot of hype. Some crew members say its fine, other co-pilots say they still hear scratchey like noise in the background.

  • By Mitchell from Pine Mountain GA USA on Wednesday, August 31, 2011
  • Pros: small and nice.
  • Cons: No instructions given to install the mike, had too look at the old and take it from there.
  • Review: At first I thought it met my expectations. Some crew members I have flown with say they can hear me fine with no background noise. Others say they hear some scratchy background noise. Possibly I have the mike to far from my mouth, not sure how close it should really be.
