This adapter allows older 6-pin panel powered aviation headsets to be used in standard dual plug GA / fixed wing aircraft.

It is designed for older Bose X, Lightspeed 3G, and similar 6-pin panel powered LEMO / Redel headsets that do not have a battery box. When these headsets are plugged into an aircraft with a 6-pin LEMO jack, the aircraft supplies power for the ANR system. When adapting them to dual GA plugs, a battery box is required to power the ANR.

This adapter includes a 9V battery box to supply the required headset power. It also includes auto shutoff to help save battery life.

Important compatibility note: This is not the right adapter for most newer ANR headsets from Bose (A20, A30), Lightspeed, David Clark, and other manufacturers that already include a battery box on the headset cable, including many LEMO versions. For those headsets, use the 6-pin LEMO Panel Power to Fixed Wing Dual Plug Adapter instead.

Features:

  • Converts older 6-pin LEMO / Redel panel powered headsets to standard dual GA plugs
  • For use in fixed wing aircraft with standard dual plug headset jacks
  • Built-in 9V battery box supplies power for ANR headsets without their own battery box
  • Auto shutoff helps conserve battery life
  • Designed for older Bose X, Lightspeed 3G, and similar panel powered headsets without a battery box
  • If your LEMO headset has a battery box, get the 6-pin LEMO Panel Power to Fixed Wing Dual Plug Adapter instead

What I needed

  • By Harry from Fallon NV USA on Thursday, February 19, 2026
  • Pros: Easily powers headset
  • Review: I got a Light Speed Zulu helmet with a Lemo plug, and was unaware that this did not have its own battery, so it would not work with a normal Lemo to GA adapter. This did the trick. Auto mode works great.

  • By on Wednesday, September 18, 2024
  • Pros:
  • Review: Works as expected. Can not speak to the run time of the 9V battery yet but it lasts at least 6 hrs in the ON setting with Bose A10.

I would buy this product again if required to.

It is good, but could be better

  • By Daniel from Solon OH USA on Friday, December 13, 2019
  • Pros: Provides power for the auto noise cancelling.
  • Review: The adapter is good, but if it included a switch to change the input signal from stereo to mono, it would be grate. Had to add another adapter to change from stereo to mono to make it work with my intercom.

Works as itmshould

  • By Kevin from Altoona Fl on Wednesday, May 1, 2019
  • Pros: Easy install
  • Review: Had a friend give me a lemo-equipped Bose headset and decided this was the easiest way to adapt it to my standard ga 2 plug setup. A few extra wires in the cockpit, but works as well as my standard Bose headsets.

3 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

  • Previously Asked Questions

  • Monday, February 6, 2012

    Q: Ad says this adapter (product #5616) works with Lightspeed Zulu. So '6-pin Redel' is the same as 'lemo'?

    A: Yes, a Redel and a LEMO connector are the same thing, they are just made out of different materials.  Functionally, however, they are identical.  You can read more in our Aviation Headset Connectors page.

  • Tuesday, May 25, 2010

    Q: Hi, I need an adaptor for a 6 pin connector to a twin plug ga. Do you have one or know where I can get one? Thank you

    A: This adapter would work to convert a 6-pin redel (LEMO) plug for fixed wing GA use.

  • Saturday, May 30, 2009

    Q: Hi, I was wondering if there is an adaptor which converts a bose panel powered headset to the twin plug ga which draws power from the mic or spkr jack and includes an input for cell phone or mp3? Also what shipping costs am I looking at to send it to Australia? Thanks for your time Matt

    A: This would be the correct adapter to convert the Bose panel powered headset for use with the dual plug fixed wing connection, however it will be powered by batteries as opposed to the panel. It does not have an MP3 input jack.
