EQ1 Headset Manufacturer


Recommended Posts

I have a pair of EQ1 headsets and was wanting to get in touch with the manufacturer. It was previously manufactured/distributed by microlight.com.au (I think).. Have they gone bust? Have they sold the rights to Lightspeed (I notice they have a wireless headset now)?

@gareth lacey - yes - I bought them direct from the company. I have searched the internet - the site - microlight.com.au doesn't exist and the last FB post (I joined just to be able to see it) was from 2017 or 2018... I take it there has been nothing in the local press over the last couple of years?

Correction to above.

Gordon Marshall, marketing and distributor passed away.

Gary, the inventor of the wireless technology and EQ1 Product is contactable on [email protected]

Gordon Marshall was great to do business with. Early on I asked him for another contact should it be required. He said " YES BUT YOU WON'T ENJOY IT". We had a problem, made the contact (farm) sent the units back with details, and waited. The units were returned to the best of my belief packed as sent with ZERO comment and no different. Gordon Marshal was not wrong.

HI All

as there seems to be a group of us who have EQ-1 headsets  with no ongoing support apparently .  we perhaps should backtrack to find why the sale of business  means that the current owner  would not be interested in keeping this excellent product supported & selling more of them . it is not as though they were cheap chinese knock-off`s when they were being made & marketed by great people & companies 

where do we start in the search ???

No sound at all. When you press the button to turn it on there is no recognition signal/sound. I gave it to a couple of retired mates who have some avionic experience, but they didn't have the equipment to chase it further. It is now with my guitar luthier who is a retired RAAF avionics tech (he does mainly guitar amps now) he said he will try to look at it this week

Ps. Thankyou for your interest and do you have any suggestions as to where I could advertise for a second hand unit. (or a whole system)

Sounds like a very simple fault to me. (but I have electronics in low earth orbit, so headsets are simple- although  they are annoyingly  fiddly to diassemble and reassemble) .

but this one sounds like a simple fault in the separate electronics box.

 

I'd suggest the usual suspects- Australian aviation buy swap and sell
