    New Microphone Driver Extreme DX656

    I have ZERO to do with marketing of this product. Having said that, I do know that they are available. All it took was a couple of phone calls to a few dealers that are listed on their website. Some of these vendors are NOT CB shops. As such, if you call with a part number, they may be...

    Driver Extreme DX656 Mic Review & Comparison

    The mic was designed to be spoken directly into, hence the use of the lip guard. Lip guards should be pressed directly above the upper lip. This maintains a consistent distance from the element in terms of proximity effect and assures full amplitude input directed at the diaphragm. If one...

    What type of antenna can this be classified?

    If the wound counterpoise radials are widely spaced & the support structure is non-conductive, it won't do much of anything.

    New Microphone Driver Extreme DX656

    I have been a member here pretty much since it started if I recall correctly. I had joined back when we were still using Newsgroups & Rec Radio CB was the hottest group on the net. I have had issues trying to log on for MANY YEARS. After multitudes of repeated attempts over the years to get...

    New Microphone Driver Extreme DX656

    Who's waffling about anything? I was contracted to design this mic and a few other products for the Driver Extreme product line. I have also done some design work & consultation for the ProComm Line too. If we are doing "full disclosure" here, I've done the same for Ranger, Galaxy, Cobra...

    New Microphone Driver Extreme DX656

    I can guarantee that there are thousands of these mics sitting in the warehouse. The manner that the manufacturer was distributing them has been working against them in the long run. As such, their marketing strategy will change in the near future. Groundwire: What exactly do you base your...

    New Microphone Driver Extreme DX656

    That's NOT what I said, nor implied. I said that distribution is being controlled so as to properly market the product. Cadillac wants their products sold & represented by Cadillac dealers. Same goes for Mercedes or any other reputable product. Part of the value of what you are buying...

    New Microphone Driver Extreme DX656

    It is like any other product. If you're not happy with it, return it. I would suggest reading my comments in the other thread though. It discusses making modifications to the internal sound damping material to accommodate one's desired tonality, output level & noise cancelling...

    New Microphone Driver Extreme DX656

    No difference between CB & Ham gear IF quality, performance & reliability are the primary concerns. Only real difference is center frequency! And for that matter, ProComm makes all kinds of ham based products. Not uncommon to find guys using their mobile antennas for dipoles on multiple...

    Driver Extreme DX656 Mic Review & Comparison

    That review was by Handy Andy. Many of the problems attributed to the mic were actually in the radio, which he clarified elsewhere in other posts. He did make mention of modifying the mic, but never said specifically what was done or how to do it. I would love to see what he did & how he did...

    Driver Extreme DX656 Mic Review & Comparison

    The testing conducted was less than accurate or revealing in that video. LOTS of other variables too, most of them which could have been controlled much better. It would have been better to monitor the total output of the mic & radio combo over the air using another rig. This would have been...
