Intercoms. What are people using these days?

[fund razor]

Every time I go to buy wired intercoms, the players have changed. Are we doing David Clark these days? Or Piratecom?
Looking for 4 place system and would like to integrate VHF for captain if possible. Stereo audio would be a bonus.

I'll check with the guys at Skater this week.

That would be disrespectful to the people trying to listen to my dry exhaust.

I have a loud voice and the people on other boats have good ears.

i have a old set from the Glastron I will give you!

Still won't work.

See, my passengers ask a lot of questions. I don't want everybody to hear the answers all the time.
For example:
Passenger (Screaming): "IS THAT AN OFFSHORE BOAT?!?!"
Me (Screaming): "NOT REALLY. JUST STYLED LIKE ONE."
Guy on Powerquest: "HEY!"

 

[Ratickle]

That's good Fund.

 

[Ratickle]

Why wired?

It's a 6'x6' cockpit with nowhere to go.

Wouldn't wireless require some kind of battery or charging? Seems like wireless would be subject to greater chance of interference also.

I don't want to change batteries or charge headsets.

 

[Ratickle]

Okay, the guys at Skater say either David Clark or Comzilla.

 

[fund razor]

Kinda digging the comzilla setup. That master controller is a piece of art.

 

[Ratickle]

I'll probably be back down there next week sometime if you have any questions you want me to ask.

Follow-up:

I asked for quotes from Comzilla, Setcom and David Clark.

Setcom responded first with a design I didn't like and a price I hated.
Comzilla responded within two days with a design I love at a really competitive price. (About half the cost of Setcom.)
No word from David Clark.

Seriously leaning toward Comzilla. Maybe immediately.

 

[Ratickle]

Nothing from Clark though?

Nope. Chirp chirp.
