    All - the Dominox Band amp is exactly the same device as Moukey VA-1.
    Since both ended up selling out globally - I went to the manufacturer that makes them both & bought some in bulk - as of today I have almost 20 remaining for sale on Etsy.

    I did basically the same thing for my Din Djarin (The Mandalorian) cosplay. I bought a similar speaker/mic combo off Amazon that came with a bluetooth headset. I opened the speaker case up, took out the electronics, and replaced the speaker with an exciter. The electronics and 18650 battery go in a pouch on my belt and the exciter is mounted behind the chest plate. I also wired in a 99uF bass blocker (capacitor) in order to block the lower frequencies and give it more of that signature Mando 'comm' sound.

    Could I ask how you went about wiring the male connector to the exciter speaker? did you do any soldering of sorts? i notice theres what seems like hot glue around it as well

    • @creative-stuff
      @creative-stuff  19 дней назад

      So I soldered it to the exciter and reinforced it with hot glue to keep the wires from breaking off while testing, installing and just from longer term wear.
      If you don't know how to solder, you could choose to instead twist your wire ends then feed them through the holes where they would normally be soldered and just keep wrapping them through the holes a few times and then twist the remaining wire to itself and put hot glue on it

  • @Ja1sc3L113r
    @Ja1sc3L113r 3 месяца назад +1

    So, we have to have to do the soldering, and have the wiring ourselves, in regards to the exciter?

    • @creative-stuff
      @creative-stuff  3 месяца назад +1

      If you opt for another speaker or exciter it’s likely you’ll have to solder but you can get away without it if you need to. You can snip the wires off the Moukey speaker, then strip the ends about a half an inch then insert it through the holes on the positive and negative terminals of the exciter and twist it together, and it’ll hold via the twist. The challenge here is that you’ll be limited on wire length, but if you have extra wire around you could just twist it onto the speaker wire to extend it.

    Do you think it could work?

    • @creative-stuff
      @creative-stuff  5 месяцев назад

      You don’t need to take apart the i9 if it fits as is. But it needs to go to amplified speaker or amplifier. It cannot go straight to a speaker (gotta have that amp in there). So as long as your speaker is amplified- locating it in your belt should be fine.

      So in place of the original speaker I got wire with a connector to fit the speaker connection location - easiest is to just unsolder from the original speaker and solder to your exciter.

      Unfortunately the Moukey is now extinct- but you can instead use a Norwii Mini (S368) or Shidu S617 your amp. You can use the M10 with those. Although if you have not yet bought your voice changer first take a look at the MC-093. It only does reverb and pitch, however, it allows you to use both at the same time, while the M10 and most other budget voice changers only allow one function to operate at a time.

      Great question - they are hard to come by, unless you want to pay triple or quadruple the price to get it from UK or India.
      I recently had to go direct to the manufacturer in China because Moukey hasn’t put an order in with the manufacturer in the last year to update their exhausted supplies throughout the world. Anyone who wants to order that exact V-307 model can bypass Moukey and do it through Alibaba BUT ONLY IF they order hundreds of units in order to do it. The manufacturer does not sell retail, they only sell in bulk.
      However, the good news is I had grown impatient, so I recently put in an order with the manufacturer so I should have some available to sell off at some point. I’m not yet sure of the shipping ETA.
