I have my settings for the Turner Plus2 as follows. Mic Gain: 40 Comp: 16 (when used) EQ is being used as my voice is not of a broadcasters quality, but the resultant audio is very, very good.
Observing the waveform of the audio on a spectrum analyser shows a very good balance between hi's medium and low's and when used with ESSB the waveform changes slightly to provide a more rounded and fuller (fidelity) audio, but again the waveform is where it should be on a spec-an. Monitoring the audio on another receiver revealed the audio with and without ESSB activated provided an all round hi-fidelity audio with enough punch for DX work. I am sure the Heil mics, or for that matter many of the other mics available, will provide good results and it will always be up to each operators personal preference as to which mic they settle on. Playing with the EQ on TX will in most cases make an "average" mic sound good. We did the same testing with the Heil dual element mic and results would have pleased most operators but for my voice it did not provide the quality I was looking for and found with the old Turner mic. I have difficulty wearing headsets, hence I have not gone down that road. 73's, Gary VK4WT Stokers...we get ya goin' _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
