[Elecraft] Mic suggestions for K2

[Don Wilhelm]

Ed,

I would guess that it sounds like it has too much bass, and I don't 
think a different mic will make much difference - unless there is 
something defective in your mic.  See if you can find another Elecraft 
MH2 and give it a try before making a final decision.

The bass response of the KSB2 is quite low.  You can reduce it by 
changing the value of two capacitors on the KSB2 board.  Change C34 to  
0.47 uF and change C32 to something in the range of 0.003 to 0.005 uF - 
I use 4700 pF capacitors for C32.
Those two changes are easy to do and not destructive, so if you don't 
like the effect, you can always restore the stock values.

73,
