Narrative:
New communications equipment being used with new headset. Volume control unsatisfactory, no modulation. Volume and backgnd noise in TRACON were a factor in loss of separation. East radar not open. Advised aircraft Y to climb to 12000 ft, and aircraft either did not hear me or read back incorrectly. Volume control primary factor.
