I'm considering he purchase of a K3 to replace my 756 Pro III. I have
wonderful audio with the Icom and would like some comments on the K3 audio and microphone recommendations for the best audio w/o external help. I'm going to get it pretty well loaded.

Are you asking about RX audio, TX audio or both? SSB, AM, FM, or (for
RX) CW? For CW, I find the K3 to be the 3rd best audio I've ever had. The Drake 2B and K1 both had smoother sweeter sounding CW tones but their AGC left a lot to be desired. The K2 was 3rd in line with good sounding CW and good AGC. I place the K3 just a bit behind the K2 in terms of raw smooth CW tone but the rig takes top position when you factor in the rest of the things that matter in a CW receiver. SSB - I haven't a clue. I haven't even hooked a mic up to the rig. - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - -----Original Message----- I'm considering he purchase of a K3 to replace my 756 Pro III.

I assume your are talking about TX audio because you are asking about what microphone we recommend.
You can use pretty much every microphone you can find and get good audio reports. You can adjust the K3 so it will accept a very wide range of microphones. Some of us get good reports with a cheap gaming headset, others use more expensive headsets like the Heil Pro Set Plus. You can't really go wrong.

Thank you Lee, however, I should have been more
descriptive. I am asking about TX audio. For receiving, I feed all
radio's into a 100 watt amplifier and then to two good book case speakers
mounted on the wall and pointed at me. That's the
best.

Uh, actually, I don't think that is the best.
Feeding the rigs through a stereo amp to stereo speakers will certainly give you
more frequency response and may smooth the midrange some, but it will also give
you much more high freq noise and low freq rumble. It may make signals
harder to copy (although they'll sound nice when they're
strong).
Of course, who am I to talk. I use hi-fi
headphones all the time.
Even with hi-fi speakers / headphones, the quality
& character of the receive audio varies widely amongst ham rigs. Some
sound harsh - spiky - jumpy - and just plain loud no matter what the volume
setting. Some sound sweet & smooth. Using great speakers or
headphones will let you hear the differences but they won't make the harsh sound
go away.

IMHO, Sound perception is probably one of the most
variable things of all. For instance, MY hearing is 10 dB down up to about
1500 Hz and by 1700 Hz it is 50 dB down for the remainder of the spectrum.
I asked the audiologist what was considered totally deaf - she said 70 dB was
deaf. (and I thought I could hear just fine, almost, except for my wife
(higher frequency and softer voice)and I didn't need to hear her anyway,
LOL)
Does anyone think the way I adjust my audio would
be the same as the way they like it. I doubt it. Trying to answer a
question of what is the best for audio for any one person OR situation is
virtually impossible.
I do use the original Heil headset with the HC4
element and the original Goldline with the HC5 and full-range
elements.

Well, there are two parts to this. One is a function of frequency response and the other is a function of distortion products. Many of us are suffering from varying degrees of hearing loss. I suffer from tinnitus (ringing of the ears) which can mask some of the high- frequency content from the voice, usually women's voices. (My wife occasionally accuses me of selective hearing. :-) Anyway, I do benefit from using headphones and providing a bit of a boost to the higher frequencies, e.g. starting at around 1KHz with boost increasing to around +6dB at 3KHz. You can make this sort of improvement with a graphical or parametric equalizer. (I prefer parametric myself but they are hard to come by.) Distortion products typically impart either a "warm, fat sound"; i.e. low order, mostly 2nd harmonic; or a "hard, edgy sound"; i.e. high order. Either can obscure readability to some extent. One of the reasons the old tube rigs were so pleasant to listen to is because they had almost no high-order distortion. It was almost all 2nd and a touch of 3rd. I could listen to my Hammerlund HQ-180X all day and all night very happily with no ear fatigue. If you suffer from that hard, edgy, fatiguing sound, try stealing the signal before it gets to the built-in audio amp and feed it to a good hi-fi amp to see what you hear. Get the signal right from the detector if you can. It can make a *huge* difference. (My experience is that most manufacturers of ham gear really skimp on the quality of the audio chain.)

Future ham gear, given our advancing ages, should include: -larger and single function buttons for Parkinsons folks, and everyone else, too. -high freq audio boost and eq. and "balance" control to feed more to one ear than the other. -footswitch option is easy to add (feet work, hands do not). -LARGE dial and large clear-contrast print on sw labels. -Big RTTY/data readout on front pannel for those that can not hear much anymore or for those whose speech is now impaired. -Lots of automatic functions for often-repeated items. Notice now few of these factors are on the K3, sad to say. 73, Charles Harpole [hidden email] > From: [hidden email] > To: [hidden email] > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Sound perception > Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2008 20:00:58 +0000 > CC: [hidden email] > > On Nov 4, 2008, at 6:12 PM, Jim Miller wrote: > >> IMHO, Sound perception is probably one of the most variable things >> of all.

I found out that the hand mic from Elecraft works best on the EQ. I have tried different "studio" style mics and it seems like the EQ goes wider with the one from Elecraft. (MH2). The next best mic in second place was one of the gamers mics with the foot pedal. The Kenwood and the ADI radio plugs work on Elecraft if you use a headset with a foot pedal. It's amazing that I can get more lows and highs from the little hand mic and had confirmed my findings over air. The stations I've talked told me that the hand mic sounds deeper, richer and more brilliant on the EQ than the other mics that were adjusted again on the EQ again. I think the money was well spent on the hand mic and have no regrets.

When I received my MH-2, I almost put it up for sale because it is so bulky
in the hand, especially with the non-removable hanger, and yes, the ptt button is a bit of a pain. Then I listened to it with the monitor and found that the sound quality is much better than the dynamic Kenwood mike I was comparing it to. The MH-2 stays! In fact in other audio applications I have always found that an electret mike is superior to a dynamic.

While you have the mic open, notice that it contains no RFI/transient suppression components (none needed here, but YMMV).

In reply to this post by K7TV
Good morning Erik: If you would like a good comparison between a dynamic mic and the MH-2 electret mic, I would be glad to do it with you. I am using a dynamic mic normally used with a commercial vhf/uhf mobile which also has the UP/DOWN keys and have compared with the electret MH-2 hand mic and there is really no comparison. With the MH-2, I have to fiddle around with the transmit audio equilizer while the dynamic mic is perfect as is.Now a problem with the MH-2 is that the curly cord is way too stiff while the dynamic mic that I use has a nice long super flexible curly cord. I have also tried a Kenwood dynamic hand mic but found that the audio from that mic really sucked as it has way to much bass which can be compensated some but it still is no match for my commercial hand mic. 73 from Fern with K3 #412

Hi Fern,
I'm -sure- many would like to know what "commercial microphone" you're referring to! (:-)) Many of us are involved in the commercial radio field and would likely have it readily available. I agree about the stiff cord on the hand microphone. It's capable of dragging the radio off the desk! 73!

Glad to say the K3 does pretty much all I want, lets not try to
fix/modify something that ain't broke! 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 --------------- Future ham gear, given our advancing ages, should include: -larger and single function buttons for Parkinsons folks, and everyone else, too. -high freq audio boost and eq. and "balance" control to feed more to one ear than the other. -footswitch option is easy to add (feet work, hands do not). -LARGE dial and large clear-contrast print on sw labels. -Big RTTY/data readout on front pannel for those that can not hear much anymore or for those whose speech is now impaired. -Lots of automatic functions for often-repeated items. Notice now few of these factors are on the K3, sad to say. 73, Charles Harpole _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
