Hi Bob,

I use a Heil Goldline with an IC-756Pro2 (and also with its predecessor, a
756Pro). The mic has the integral wide-range moving-coil element and the
HC-5. The switch is marked Wide/Nar to select one of the two elements. The
frequency-response curves of the two elements are on the Heil site:

http://www.heilsound.com/

These are the default settings I use with the HC-5:

Bass: -2 dB
Treble: +3 dB
Comp ON, Comp control set for 3 to 5 dB compression on voice peaks (11 to 12
o'clock) Occupied bandwidth MID (COMP-ON-MID) Mic Gain: 12 o'clock

With the HC-4, you can try the following:

Bass: 0 dB
Treble: +2 dB
Comp ON, Comp control set for 3 to 5 dB compression on voice peaks (11 to 12
o'clock) Occupied bandwidth NAR(COMP-ON-NAR) Mic Gain: 12 o'clock. This is
the "pileup-buster" setting.

With the GoldLine Pro, you can start with these settings:

Bass: -3 dB
Treble: +3 dB
Comp ON, Comp control set for 3 to 5 dB compression on voice peaks (10 to 11
o'clock) Occupied bandwidth MID (COMP-ON-MID) Mic Gain: 12 o'clock

On the 756Pro3, the default low and high cutoff-frequency settings for WIDE,
MID and NAR should be OK.

Cheers for now, 73,

Hello,

What are some favorite transmit audio setting you folks that have Heil Pro
mics are using? I have both the 4 and 5 element in the the Pro mic and the 4
in the headset boom mic.

What do you use for casual conversation?
What do you use for contesting/pileup busting?

Compression levels?
Mic gain?


Thanks
Bob
