The ModMic is an electret mic that can be added to your favorite headphones. I’ve been suggesting it to people for years, and I’m delighted to hear that someone is using it. Electret mics are pretty flat, so just go with Jim Brown’s recommendations. You can see a graph comparing his recommended

Sorry. Bands 5 and 6 should remain at 0. Actually, the settings are not very different. I'm starting from 0, and using relatively little boost. By boosting the midrange, their low cut relative to mid-range is pretty similar, and their boost of the two higher bands is similar, relative to the m

I am trying to compare the Heil contest settings with yours, 5 and 6 are not mentioned in your post. The biggest difference seems to be Heil is showing significant more boost at the top (3200Hz) and also you cut #3 (200Hz) more. HEIL K9YC 1 -16-16 2 -16-16 3 -10-16 4 -6
