Using Earbuds on Telex/RTS boxes

[MixMasterBRock]

Is there anyway I can use earbuds, like ones found on an iPhone, with a Telex box?

If anyone knows of an adapter, or the best wiring between the difference in Pin outs, please share with the class.

Below are the Pin Outs:

The headset pinout is as follows on most Telex and Clearcom compatable headsets:
1 - Mic Ground
2 - Mic Positive
3 - Earpiece Ground
4 - Earpiece positive


iPhone headset
Green is 1st contact/left headphone
Red is 2nd contact/right headphone
Red/Green Combo and both coppers are 3rd contact/ground
White is 4th contact/microphone - the white wire is inside the red/green combo wire

Wiring is one thing, but all headset mics and earpieces are not created equal. You may end up with issues mismatching impedeances, which could mean unsatisfactory performance or damage to the beltpack in a worst case scenario.

There has to be a way to create a transformer to match the impedance. Ideas?

Do some research, find the specs for the telex system, and regular earbuds and see how close or far apart the specs for each are.
