[Elecraft] K2 mic suggestions

[Don Wilhelm]

Ed,

Instead of trying different microphones, I suggest you modify the KSB2 
option board to reduce the bass response.

Change C34 to a 0.47uF electrolytic capacitor and C32 to something in 
the range of .0043uF to .0056uF and you will reduce the bass response 
significantly.  Those are values recommended by Jim Brown K9YC (an audio 
professional).  I have tried them and they work well.

With those changes, most any microphone including the Elecraft MH2 will 
sound better.
