Hi Jerry... I have 2 heil PR-40 mics that I use on Am... These have tremendous low end. I have a GATES BC1G Broadcast xmtr that off course can take the low end... I use a Radio Design labs mixer with their parametric EQ and a URIE Limiter. Everyone one says it sounds as good as some of the best AM Radio stations in north Texas. The mic is not cheap... WB0W discounts it from the Heil Retail at around $299.00 The PR40 was the mic used for all the cannon shots in the movie Letter from Iwo Jima ( Spelling not correct)I have also used the EV RE10 but prefer the Heil... Good luck and if I can be of any help yell at me. Audio is my favorite part of Ham Radio...I really do not know if the KW1 will pass that low end without mods...

Since I will soon be new to AM having been on SSB since 1957 I need the benefit of others experience. Last week a good amount of time was spent on audio quality so I thought I would ask here. The rig is a Collins KW-1. I need a good quality (broadcast if you will) microphone to use with it, I have a deep voice and I sound terrible on a 300 to 3000 mic. I need more lows than that. I welcome any suggestions on what microphone might fill my needs. 73 Jerry K9GOZ __________________________________________________ ____________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] t/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: [email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
