The SB-40, with its dynamic mic element, has a lot of bad
reviews on Amazon regarding mic audio quality, so I never have
tried it.
The Koss SB-45 on the other hand, with its electret element,
sounds great, and is very comfortable and affordable. I prefer
it over my Yamaha CM500 because it has a nice padded headband
that doesn't abrade my bald head like the rough webbing on the
CM500.
So how is the SB-40 working for you? Are you happy with the
sound in the monitor, and with on the air reports?

I have been using a Yamaha CM500 for a few years and have been
very happy
with it. I just bought a Koss SB40 as a backup. The Koss looks
like the
Yamaha except the Koss doesn't use a biased mike element. With
the Koss I
had to go to FP.H. Also my breath trips the Vox but I have to
have the mike
gain and Vox gain quite a bit higher than the Yamaha to get
similar output
for both mikes. I do have a somewhat bassier voice.
My transmit equalizer is
-16
-16
-7

Any thoughts or comments?
Thanks
