Terry ...Geoff is correct on his statement ...I would take one exception and that would be a Carbon Mike Ie like you stated the old Bell Telphone handset mics. They sound terrible no matter what. You can take a $10 mic and make it sound as good as a $100 mic with proper EQ. I have done that on many occasions. Using a 3 band parametric EQ will do wonders for anything. A graphic EQ is much more complicated for the newbe in audio becase when you give band say C a boost that puts out band B and D . So long story short the answer is YES...

Great. Does anyone know whether mic elements deSIGNed specifically for voice..i.e., the old Bell telephone handset mics...can likewise be cajoled into service? Seems to me there's a distinct advantage to using one of them, not only for radio but also for vocal applications, e.g. recording / performance...or am I inhaling too much solder smoke? Anyone have feedback? Thanks, and I hope Santa's good to you all. 73, Terry KC9KEL <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR>See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)</HTML> ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body. ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
