[Elecraft] K3S boom mic ensemble options.

[hawley, charles j jr]

In that case, I have used one of these for a decade or more. It supports up to 8 pounds and doesn't make noises when you move it with a live mic.

Everyone so far has recommended a headset with “boom@ mic.

I wonder if you mean a mic on a table mounted “boom”?

From the options you describe, I think this might be the case.

I have a Heil PL-2T boom with a Heil SM-1 Shock mount with a Heil HM-12 mic. You’ll also need a cable (use Kenwood config) and some form of PTT if you don’t use VOX (an unused J-38 works well). This sounds good on with my K3S and K3.

The Yahama C-500 and the Koss SB-40 are two good ones.   Not expensive but comfortable and good sounding for both the mike and the earphones.  Either works very well with the K3S.   I know, I have all of them.  My preference is the Koss SB-40 over the Yamaha C-500.

The Koss SB-40 is essentially a Yamaha CM500 with a dynamic mic instead of an electret mic. Some people really don’t like the dynamic mic in the Koss SB-40. I’ve heard zero complaints about the electret in the CM500.

The Koss SB-45 is a completely different headset design that does have an electret mic. It sells for $25, much less than the CM500 ($60).

To muddy the waters further, my Yamaha CM500 has “KOSS” molded into the microphone plug.
