[Elecraft] DESK MICROPHONES FOR K3

[Mel Farrer via Elecraft]

For the desk microphone, I prefer the Audio-Technica MB 3K for the same reason.  To each his own, hi. I put in the 6 KHz filter also.  I don't run ESSB, just like the sound in the Hi Fi speakers

After trying several microphones I decided to take the plunge and bought
the Heil PR-40. What a difference does it make after proper equalization
with the built in K3 equalizer!.  Some people answer my CQ's just to ask
what my audio setup is. They like the "broadcast quality" of the audio. I
know many hams prefer the "standard" SSB audio sound and many even say that
the narrow filter bandwidth severely limits the usability of the PR-40. But
I still remember the rationale for the 20-20000 response of the high
fidelity equipment even though most people cannot hear beyond the usual 10
Khz frequencies. The explanation was that there is a special feeling when
you hear quality sound that is not experimented when listening to
"telephone quality" sound. I know what they meant. Remember the difference
between vinyl records and CDs? You might too. Just borrow one and do the
testing. Adjust your equalizer in a wide "V" from 50 hertz to 3200 Hz. You
will never go back to the telephone sound!
