FAQs
Does the Valiant amplifier come with a 9v battery?
No, the 9v battery is not included with the ZeroNoise Valiant amplifier and must be purchased separately.
What type of jack does my headset need to connect to this amplifier?
Your helmet or intercom headset needs to have a male 6.35mm stereo jack plug for connection to the amplifier's female 6.35mm stereo connectors.
Can I power the amplifier from my car's cigarette lighter?
The amplifier can be hard-wired into your vehicle's 12v electrical system. If your cigarette lighter provides a direct 12v power output that can be safely wired, it may be possible, but direct wiring to the vehicle's electrical system is recommended.
How do I adjust the volume for the driver and co-driver separately?
The amplifier features two distinct volume control knobs, typically labeled or positioned to indicate control for the driver and co-driver respectively. Turn these knobs to set the desired audio level for each person.
Is this amplifier suitable for professional racing teams?
The ZeroNoise Valiant is an entry-level amplifier ideal for clubman competitors. For professional racing teams with more advanced communication needs, higher-tier systems might be more suitable.
What is the length of the connection cables provided?
The amplifier comes with 2-meter long cables for connecting your helmet or headset.
How do I clean the Valiant amplifier?
To clean the amplifier, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using any liquids, solvents, or abrasive cleaning agents to prevent damage to the electronics and casing.
Troubleshooting
No sound from the amplifier
Ensure the power source (9v battery or 12v connection) is properly connected and functional. Check that the headset cable is securely plugged into the amplifier and that the headset itself is functioning correctly. Verify that the volume controls are not turned all the way down.
Intermittent audio or static
Check all cable connections for looseness or damage. Inspect the 6.35mm jack for dirt or corrosion; clean gently if necessary. Try a different headset or helmet connection to rule out a headset issue.
One channel (driver or co-driver) has no sound
Verify the specific volume control for that channel is turned up. Ensure the headset being used supports stereo input for both channels. Test with a different headset to confirm if the issue lies with the amplifier or the headset's wiring.
Excessive background noise
While the amplifier has noise cancelling, extreme noise environments may still present challenges. Ensure the headset's microphone is positioned correctly and not picking up excessive wind noise. Check that the noise cancelling feature is functioning as expected; if noise is still excessive, consider the ambient noise level and the product's limitations.
