[@craft_z]

@@kodyshaw6991 it's a month

[@pandapropsncostumes]

The issue with having the mic and speakers in close proximity is the risk of feedback is very high. You also have the issue of fitting a speaker big enough for sound yet small enough to not take up much room. A few people have done it with small speakers such as those used in lightsabers, but the volume and depth of the sound is no where near where one of these amps placed in the chest or on a belt are. It can be done, people have done it. But its not going to be as loud as an all in one wired solution. Hope that helps!

[@j.lerner5766]

Great video. Kinda like the lower wattage amp. Sound is overdriven and noisy which adds texture. : ) Mahalo for sharing!

[@pandapropsncostumes]

You're welcome! Yes, absolutely. You lose a bit of bigger sound compared to the 1505 12watt, but the 1506 is 10watt, lower profile and there's a bit of crackle and tinny / static ness to it that gives it that "trooper" sound, like you hear int he movies or via short wave / 2 way radios etc. The lower profile allows you to stick it under chest armor etc more easily as well.

Speaking from experience as TK/TI 11435 (retired), i used to use the 10amp model aker with an icomm unit for the static bust. Now i mostly use it in conjunction with a wireless mic i have tucket in my x-wing bucket and a sound glove connected to the aux port to give me some on demand special effecfs like the wilhelm scream, the star wars theme, etc. since im working on a jawa i’ll be using that set up eithout the mic

I was trying to work out how to engineer a system like this, and now all I have to do is work out where on the costume the speaker goes?? And for a bonus, the cheaper the setup I buy, the more Star Wars Helmet Voice I get! This is an excellent video, worth using the Like button that I never touch.

[@pandapropsncostumes]

Glad it helped! Yes, totally. It's a simple as a $30 purchase on Amazon that can solve your problems. Most amps have a neck strap that you can wrap around your neck and have the amp facing forward on your chest and most of the smaller amps are only about an inch thick so they don't take up that much room

[@pandapropsncostumes]

Correct. The 10 amp models aren't quite as loud, but they have that sort of hollow. Tinny CB radio kind of sound that we think a lot of troopers and character sound like, so sometimes that's actually a better model to go with. Depending on how thick your costume is, or maybe how many layers of soft parts are on top of the speaker and amplifier that can muffle some of the sound. In those cases the 12 watt amp is a better choice but it depends on your costume

[@Interstellar-ss2fx]

do you have any tutorial how to add effects on the voice amps please. and this video is very help me a lot THANKYOU!

[@pandapropsncostumes]

Sorry for the very late reply. I would look into voice effects cards from Hyperdyne Labs, RomFX. These are great standalone units but they can be expensive and you normally choose one specific effect / voice and purchase that one to use. You can't use it for multiple voices, you would need to purchase different chips etc. The Rom FX has some models that let you tune the pitch etc. There are even phone apps like Voice Synth Pro. That app is very versatile in that you can use preset effects or customize them as you like. The only issue is that wiring your phone to the amp may require some hacks (eg: Current model iphones don't use standard headphone jacks, so you need different adapters etc.)

[@KickapooNinja]

[@pandapropsncostumes]

Ive done that with several amps, where I separate the circuit board, the battery and the speaker to get a lower profile layout. You can extend the wires for the battery or speaker if you need to relocate parts. You may need to fabricate a speaker housing so that you can get some resonance out of it. Good luck!

[@AngelOnMyShoulderProductions]

Hi sir! First off, thank you so much for demonstrating the amplifiers! I was thinking about cosplaying as Second Sister from Jedi Fallen Order and I feel that her voice is deepened a tad and has this crispy electronic sound more like Kylo Ren's voice rather than staticky like the Storm Trooper variant. I feel that the effect could best be heard when she was about to fight Cal and said "Outstanding". I'd link the clip, but I feel that KZbin would hold my comment for review. (Aka banish it to the shadowzone.) I've had a look at the Mandalorian Mercs forum where they too discussed how the Aker brand seems to be the amp of choice. My worry is that the ones I've observed do not seem to have the droi- I mean, effects I'm looking for. I was wondering which amplifier you would recommend?

Do you have any suggestions if a girl is trying to sound like the mandalorian? Any voice amps that would work?

[@pandapropsncostumes]

A voice generally only amplifies your voice. A helmet or mask provides a bit of echo and alters it a bit four doesn’t change the pitch. For that you will need a sound card / voice changer or an app on your phone wired inline. Look into Hyperdyne Labs or Romfx or an app called Voice Synth pro. These options will allow you to change the pitch and tone etc. There are a couple voice amps that have built in pitch change but I don’t have one so I can’t verify how well they work
