A riding buddy just bought a escort 8500 and a set of IASUS Xsound2 helmet speakers. The "engineer" at escort told him he needs a 3.5mono plug,and they aren't to be found at radio shack(just a 2 ringed stereo plug). He is worried about messing something up in the radar detector. I told him I have the same setup,and have a 90 degree stereo jack plugged into the radar detector and a stereo audio cable (that came with the speakers) run to my helmet,which I have been using for three years. I told him not to worry about it,but he is in kind of a small panic mode. I told him I would ask the resident electronic gurus just what the diff between each are, and why the "engineer" told him to use a mono plug. So I,m asking. I realise that the radar det. is a mono speaker,and a single ear plug would take a mono,but I think the radar det. will just beep mono through the helmet speakers because the isn't any channels to seperate. Am I close? Thanks PS heading to Yellow Stone and Glacier from IA for a Quick ride through and then home just to get a ride in. CAN"T WAIT!!!
