David Clark M-55 Electret Microphone – Noise-Cancelling Mic for Modern Aviation Radios (09168P-66)
Overview
The David Clark M-55 Electret Microphone (09168P-66) is a noise-cancelling electret microphone designed to replace traditional carbon and amplified dynamic mics in aviation headsets. Engineered to deliver crisp, clear voice transmission, the M-55 is ideal for use with modern aviation communication systems that supply the required DC bias voltage.
Before installation, ensure your system supports electret microphones. If you're unsure, consult your aircraft’s radio manual or speak with a qualified avionics technician.
Key Features

Thank you!
I built this kit as a teenager most of 55 years ago. The kit is essentially the same, but now they’re laser cut. In the past, the panels were die-cut, sometimes you get one done with a dull cutter. That took a lot of extra time, carefully re-scoring everything with a narrow Exacto blade so the pieces wouldn’t split. This kit is so crisp, it’s a joy to assemble. It’s fun seeing old reflexes come to life while assembling this baby. I only have the FW-190 from those years, but also built this one (the Hellcat), the Spitfire, Me-109, and the P-40. Good times!
