🎙️ D.I.Y CB Mic - From Start To Finish - 🔘

[@matthewball8897]

After you put everything into the box, where does the usb end go and where does the aux end go ? Great job by the way. (gonna use mine for TruckerMP)

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

USB in the computer and aux into mic input in the computer.

@@DeltaBravoProductions Thanks man

[@franjo345]

Great video ty so much. I saw a twitch streamer using a CB radio as a mic to talk to his chat. When he spoke it actually sounded like he was on a CB radio, not a normal mic.

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

Well that could also be done with sounds effects. For exemple on TeamSpeak you can add sound effects that makes everyone sound like they are on a radio

[@sponduli]

Good choice for the mic. i personally prefer the superstar mic myself too cause its cheap and durable a mic with an electret element might be better suited for this type of modification because the microphone element has a wider frequency response and im assuming ATS voice chat is compressed. You'd just have to supply the voltage in addition to the GND TX and RX. You can also take out the diaphragm in that mic and stick an electret in there and a pop filter on the grill if you want to remove the chuffing from your voice as an electret will pick that up. The 10 meter radio and HAM mics also have ch up and down buttons or a number pad. Plenty of extra keys. I dont have much time to look through the video but i wanted to give others some ideas. Apologize in advance if you've covered this.

[@Raznac]

You make some cool stuff! I love this and the button box with the ignition switch.

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

Thank you!

[@Captain02]

Does this work in 2024 or i must buy other parts to do it?

[@fadinrenegade]

I know this an old video but it's a great project. There a couple of things I'll do a little differently. I'm also going to try and add an echo board like a Delta EC2 or Palomar TRB X4. It'll require a 12v power supply but that's no biggy. Thumbs up.

[@StevesAmericanTrucking]

It's garbage. It does not work. It only works as a mouse click. And he changed the name of it so we don't know what the default name is in order to know the pc detected it.

[@TheChronic1976]

Thanks for the vid watched it made it love it 1 happy trucker😁

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

Thanks!

[@TheBigfella53]

great vlog just made one to use on ets2, am i right when you just talk through the pc you dont need to key the mic as thats what mine is doing and i have audio

[@notlayjeno6258]

im surprised by how few videos there are on this subject, i'm trying to use a cb mic for use as a weird alternative to a studio mic for sound recordings/vocal recordings and maybe using it for live streaming as a secondary mic.... so i am interested in the sound quality you get from this... any feedback or updates are much appreciated in advance

[@valhallaboundnation5491]

Could you wire something like this up to a zero delay usb encoder?

[@ZooQuest_]

AMAZING! Thank a lot, I was going crazy trying to use the CB as a mic for my live set :) I just have a question for you as didn't connect pin 2 and 4 as I don't need the USB cable: now the mic works perfectly connected to the mixer as an audio source, the only thing is that the botton on/off now doesn't work anymore and the mic is always on...how can I reactivate the button function? THANKS!

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

You could put the positive wire of the mic on the switch and make it work from that. So positive mic to switch and then switch to positive mic plug and then it will make it that every time you need to press the button.

[@ZooQuest_]

​@@DeltaBravoProductions Okidoki, so I'll look for which pins of the switch close and open the signal right? Gonna try it :) Thanks a lot for the fast answer!!!

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

@@ZooQuest_ Yes exactly

[@ZooQuest_]

@@DeltaBravoProductions I'm nearly at the end of the tunnel! It works perfectly now, the only thing is that there's a buzz when the switch is off (mute), it disappears as soon as the switch is on (talk)...do you know what could it be? Cheers from Italy!

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

@@ZooQuest_ well its static sound, now how to fix it is the other question that I'm not sure what to do

[@claudecharland5091]

great idea

[@michaelcriswell4974]

Will it work on ats

Please write your skema in your deskription. Thank you

[@fredsteward9300]

How do I get this to work with x mouse ? You never showed how to on that ? I’m confused how to work it

[@UrbaNSpiel]

Cool

[@flyboy1099]

What kind of gauge wire did you use?

[@XxDrxX1995]

Hey mate, Thanks for the tutourial! Ive built the box/mic setup and can get it to work on push to talk using the button on the CB in apps such as discord. But when i go to ATSMP and press it it does nothing (The button is mapped to x) have you faced this problem before? would appreciate any help.

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

I find that odd, so in discord it works correctly? you are using a mouse as a controller or something else ?

[@maxyoung7082]

You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do

[@christrawick7374]

On my mouse it has 4 connections how would u wire it ?

[@techgizmo9530]

I'm having trouble getting my solder connection good from the 3.5 mic jack to the cb mic they keep on coming loose and popping out, any tips?

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

Once your solder them on put a tab of hot glue around it

[@jennay242010]

I cant get it to recognize it's a mic. It recognizes it as a mouse. Did i miss something?

[@amyjojinkerson6745]

the extra wires are for those that have 5 or more pins

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

What Extra wires? Not sure I follow

[@cashschierling120]

Can you do this for American truck sim with a software or something?

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

Not sure I understand your question..

[@cashschierling120]

@@DeltaBravoProductions like I’ve heard people in truckersmp where there voice sounds and echos like they’re talking through a cb so I was wondering if I can do it with a certain software cause the guy said he had an actual cb hooked up for it

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

No? You still need a way to connect it to the computer...

[@mikebenton3462]

The PC doesn't pic the board up as a mouse when you plug in the USB? Im asking because if it did. How would i configure it as a mic in the settings? confused but want to do this.

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

Yes it does it's a mouse.... And you just remap your mic press to middle mouse button.

[@mikebenton3462]

@@DeltaBravoProductions ok i get it now

[@mikebenton3462]

can i use a port on the usb joystick encoder instead of a mouse so i dont have to have a second usb cord coming out of my box?

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

Yes of course

[@vladtheimpala218]

@@mikebenton3462 how would you go about that, or did? Wouldn't you have two wires coming out still, or there's a way to wire the microphone to the encoder?

[@BW-0217]

I keep buying AUX cords but they don't have wires like that htey have real tiny wires. MY wife is getting pissed i keep ruining all her aux cords. any suggentions?

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

Well the wires are small. They aren't big .. that's normal.

[@hemlocksalad5383]

buy some 4 conductor cable and a 3.5mm microphone connector. The cable should come on a spool so if you mess up you can try again. USB cables have 4 wires so if you have a broken phone charging cable you could use a section of that. Make sure the wires inside the cable are 20 gauge or smaller just to make life easier.

[@wildgameryoyoyo6824]

Can u use mic multiplayer without pushing v ty

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

Yes just have to put your discord or TS to always on, instead of push to talk If you play on ATS and ETS2 you must push a button to talk, if you wish to talk on that

[@potter7530]

My mind processing of this is that he's set this up as a constant mic with a "switch" from the mouse, I'm sure if you used something like JoyToKey and set the middle mouse button to whatever the keystroke is to talk in TruckersMP (or whatever MP game you want to use it with) and you're golden

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

@@potter7530 Not at all. I just assign the middle mouse button to what ever in game voice keybinding... Or teamspeak or discord. No need for joy software.

[@balenttv2584]

Still not understsnd how to convert my baofeng double-aux cb mic into a four pins one pls help me

[@amazingbutter345]

Late reply but I don’t think you need to covert it into a 4 pin at all like he said in the video, You would need to unsolder the mic and switch from the circuit board from inside the mic it self, then solder it directly into the output wire And then cut off the 2 pin end and solder two wire straight into the 3.5mm jack, also solder two wire for signal (I recommend using a USB arcade encoder instead of a computer mouse like in the video, but it’s your choice to use a mouse or an encoder) I’m also going to use a Baofeng mic and just waiting for my 3.5 cable to arrive Hope i didn’t explain it too terribly

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

Think you did a good job explaing it. I agree a use encoder would be better, But that said, i wanted to use somthing that was easy and cheap for people to do.

[@danieltoma5875]

Can i make one with 6 pins?

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

You can you basically need just 4 pins, the other two wouldn't be used for anything

[@Mr.Chaw03]

you selling?

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

Not I'm not selling the cb. I am selling one button box that I made. Maybe in the future I could make a couple of cb mics, but right now with everything happening it's impossible to get parts

[@david11618]

hi can some help me map button box with cb mic on teamviewer

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

Sorry I dont use Teamviewer wouldnt know how.

[@jedigaming2969]

the most important thing to the build and you left it out sux mouse terminals

[@Mr.Chaw03]

Can’t u just buy a cb with a 3.55mm jack

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

No, they don't make that.

[@StevesAmericanTrucking]

Next time you do a tutorial make sure you show everything. You should have shown what the default name shows as. Otherwise how do we know the pc detected it. Sorry not sorry. Thumbs DOWN

[@bigmanlizard7326]

pls do a test of it at least after a 30 minute video lol

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

Not sure what you wanted more ? I did test it in the end... So not sure what you wanted....

[@josephdotson-vo8gj]

you have a switch in the mic. dont need the mouse

[@StevesAmericanTrucking]

I did this only i used a usb joystick controller board. The red and black that go to the mouse, solder those to a wire set that comes with the encoder it's also red and black wires. Solder red to red and black to black. Plug plastic end i to encoder board. load up ats or ets2. Go to controls and select the joystick. Go into buttons and find push to talk. Select the spot and push the cb button. Done. I still wired the mic like the guy in video. I also plugged mic and usb into pc. I tested in discord and told it push to talk. It asks to map button do it like your game. Done

[@brandongreen2875]

So I did everything but when I plug it in the mic work without press the button and ideas?

[@DeltaBravoProductions]

Your switch isnt wired correct... My guess

[@brandongreen2875]

@@DeltaBravoProductions which switch? and I didn't do the mouse part I have connect to a joystick board which is reading when I pressed down on the cb radio switch, but when I plugged everything in and the mic is on when I'm not even pressing down on the button

Well exactly it should always be on. Any mic is always on. The software controlls the sending. If you want to have a physical off you need to connect it to a switch

@@DeltaBravoProductions I think im getting what your saying, the mic is always on but others will hear me when i actually press the button down. So for American Truck Simulator I make the cb button a hotkeys to "quick Replies".
