John, If you apply bias to a dynamic mic, the microphone element will be pulled off center by the bias voltage. Much the same as putting a voltage across a speaker. It *could* damage the element is the element wire is not large enough to handle the current, but with the mic element not in

If you use an electret with no bias you have no audio. What happens if you use a dynamic mic with bias on such as the HC4/HC5 element in the subject line? John KK9A From: Don Wilhelm Tue Apr 18 07:35:33 EDT 2017 "Rule of thumb" - if the microphone produces any audio at all with no bias, it

Steve, Here are the settings I use with various Heil elements. I am currently using a Heil Proset K2/K3 with my desk K3 and a Elecraft MH2 with my "portable" K3, but have used all these combinations with success at one time or another. Your mileage may vary. 73, Bill - NA5DX Elecraft

"Rule of thumb" - if the microphone produces any audio at all with no bias, it should be run with no bias - it is a dynamic type. Electret elements will not produce any audio at all unless bias is turned on. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/18/2017 12:27 AM, Matt Zilmer wrote: Thanks, Jim. The gain

The HC4 and HC5 elements are low output dynamic types - no biasneeded. In fact, it must be off. Gus Hansen KB0YH On 4/17/2017 10:00 PM, Matt Zilmer wrote: That depends on the mic itself. The HC4- and HC5-based mics need bias ON, but don't know about the others (HC6?). Donis correct about the

I'd try Front Panel, HIGH, no bias assuming this is a dynamic microphone. In general, Heil dynamic mic elements have low output levels. 73, Lyle KK7P On 4/17/17 8:14 PM, Steve Wilson via Elecraft wrote: ... I deduced that the setting should be Front Panel, Low, No Bias, but am not 100%
