Maestro Headset Monitor audio delay, workaround

sunwriter

As a contester using the Maestro and the RadioSport RS60CF headset (with the proper Maestro cable I ordered from them), I like to hear my transmitted audio via Monitor. However, as I understand it, the audio is routed back through the 8600, which causes a delay. The delay is unfortunately just long enough to be audibly disorienting when using. If the monitor is turned off, I can't tell if I'm speaking at a normal level or shouting, because the headphones are so quiet. To work around this, a selection in the Maestro for "Direct Monitor" would be nice, where the audio from the headset mic is just directly looped back to the headphones, knowing of course that you are not hearing any EQ, Compression etc. and just raw audio. To me this would be better than the delay or nothing.

I know I can avoid the delay by connecting the headset (with proper 8600 cable) to the 8600, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having the Flex gear positioned away from the operating position. Thanks.
