[DSP-10] What Microphone are you using?

[Bob Larkin]

Hi All - I have no microphone suggestions. A related item, though:

Based on little data, I suspect that all microphones are "almost" the same,
except for their frequency response. That is, they don't have a lot of
distortion in the sense of non-linearities. The original RS mike didn't
sound very good, so I added the mike eqaulizer:
http://members.ispwest.com/kd7ts/ver3/4ChFour.html#TRANSMIT_EQUALIZER

For that mike, I boost the highs quite a bit and the lows a trifle. The
settings for the configuration file variable aeqdb_t that I am using
(apparently with success!) are
aeqdb_t -99 3.0 0.0 -2.0 2.0 5.0 7.0
This is intended to sound "natural" and is not a DX/Heil mike!

These can be set through the SCRL-F5 command/dialog box. This also shows
what the actual frequency response looks like. See the User's Manual entry
listed above for more information.

Also, if someone works out settings for a particular microphone, please
share them with the group.

73,
