I found this online for ~$40 a while ago, but haven't been back to look for it again... This is the cheapest I could find it this morning with a quick Google. $65 for an adapter that you plug into the LEMO jack, and gives you standard jacks on the other end. That way anyone can fly with you with their own headset when they have to use their own.

Quick question on your wiring, looking at the top picture, looks like you omitted "shield wires" from Bose plug?
Do I see it correctly? How did it work for you?

I have standard plug wires phone and mic shielded and grounded at audio panel. Looks like I will not need to use Bose shields, right?

  1. Very little extra weight

  3. Can use a standard headset as a backup if either my LEMO headset or ship power fails.

I just ran across this thread again and noticed the old question. Kinda late, but... I didn't use the Lemo shields since the plugs are so close together. I didn't see a reason for an inch or so of shielding.

Hope your setup worked out!

It does work. I added LEMO jacks to my old RV-6 setup and wired the LEMO jack straight to the existing headphone and mic jacks. Only the Power wire runs forward. Been working great for over 150+ hours.
