So my Terraphone and headsets turned up. Seems I've made a BIG rookie error..... A terraphone professional V2 has a 6mm socket for headsets. The headsets I have are rugged offroad units.... so they have an 8mm? socket??? https://www.ruggedradios.com/PDF/Rug...Conductors.pdf as per the top image in that link.

So I can get a Stilo and Peltor adapter for the terraphone, but not an offroad adapter.... dam.... I like these headsets and would like to use them! but i have to come up with some bodge to make it all work

OR drop even more coin on more gear

has anyone got some info/experience etc that they could share with me?

I'd be contacting be Terraphone and seeing if they will give you the pinouts for their end. You've got the pinouts for the Rugged headset.
Go to Jaycar and get a 6 mm male ( I'm pretty sure it's 6.35 as it an imperial metric rather than a metric metric.) I'd take the amp along and check, Jaycar are always pretty good about that stuff.
While you are there, they may have a widget that does the job.
Cut the male off your rugged headset but leave a bit of wire on the cut off plug 30 mm or so. Peel apart the cabling on the cut off plug and using a multimeter, sort out the colours to pin. If you're having problems with this part your electrical engineer mate will be able to help.
Once you've sorted out the colours / pin connections, solder on the 6mm male.

Being audio signals you are unlikely to damage anything if you get things the wrong way around.

Cheers Glen
