Hi, I use the HM-12 with the matching cable for the K3.
So far, for my voice, I use the Mic-Sel on FP.H ( No extra gain with the '7' button needed) Mic Gain set to about 30 (+-3) Compression about 15. I did have to reduce bass and increase top end a fair bit though on Tx Eq though, but that may just be my voice. That may well help the levels so I don't need the extra gain setting . Got a report of excellent audio today with those settings. *Iain Haywood* G4SGX On 10/18/2011 6:28 PM, Dale Boresz wrote: > Hello, > > I'm trying to get a Heil HM-12 microphone to work from the front panel. > Even with the Mic gain set to 60, and MIC SEL set to FP.H, I have to > shout in order to see any ALC bars. > > According to the K3 Owner's Manual in the MAIN Menu section describing > "MIC SEL" : > "... tap [3] to turn on an additional gain stage.
