Mic and Mixer set-up question.

[Grogan]

I have been using this set up for a couple of weeks now with the Mic into the mixer then in to my On-Air designs Box for connecting and keying the Radio. It seems to work great and with no buzz etc. Everybody says it sounds great. I was wondering about adjusting the eq in the mixer. I am going to connect up a radio with a speaker that has a headphone jack with no antenna and see how that works to monitor.

Those settings are as unique as a finger print.

Don't mess with a speaker, you'll get feedback. Plug your headphones right into the external speaker jack.

Here is the freq range of your Shure mic. Notice that it rolls off below 200hz and goes -11db's before 50hz. Also note that it has a large +8db rise peaking at 4-5khz. It will need the bass turned up and the highs turned down just to make a somewhat flat freq response. The middle is pretty flat - which is preferable; so I would most def leave that one alone/no gain or cut. So now you know what to equalize. I prefer mics that have a much flatter freq response before EQing; but it should still do just fine.

He's not going to get that close with a 3 band EQ, it's best to use a monitor especially considering the stock filter and it's shape.

If he does the HiFi mod for this chassis as I previously posted, he should have close to 4.5khz usable TX/RX audio bandwidth with the filter in that radio. That is actually pretty decent - IMO . . .

A 31 band / 1/3 octave EQ would be cool; but a 5 band parametric equalizer would be the ticket . . . choice . . .

I have both and a 6 band compressor.
