HC5 mics and have been getting criticism on my audio quality like > distorted

Bill Davis Jr

  I am having the same kind of reports with my K3 #3460 and a MH2 --- I have to run mike gain control VERY low 6 or less to keep in the good ALC range.

Set mic settings to FPL; it may be set to H.  The MH2 is a pretty hot
microphone; no need to set gain to high.
