Dan at FourStar should be able to fix you up with the required adaptors.

You don't want to use two peltor to terraphone adaptors at once. The impedance of the headsets are different - if you use one Peltor, let alone two with a terraphone, it's super quiet! Adaptors are $50 each. The nexus TJ-120 Connectors are very expensive on there own.

This also begs the question of why the hell you would want to use a terraphone.
Sound quality and build quality are both vastly inferior.

If you want it because you want to connect a ham radio or the like, you can interface radios with the FMT/110/100/15 intercoms, Walter Clark is an EE and rally guy stateside who worked it all out - I can email you (or anyone else) his notes for the modifications if you wish.

Or you can shell out for the FMT200. Thats some serious kit with a serious price tag to match. (or if you don't need to do anything fancy, a FMT110 will work well too)

Maybe the audible tachometer "feature"? ;)

Ian, if both you and your co-driver have Peltor headsets, you don't really have any choice but to run a Peltor amp... but you'll probably like it better in the long run anyhow.
