No Doug, the world has not gone mad :-) What you seem to overlook is that reproduction (even in communications) has to be linear. Be it from 50-8000Hz or from 300-2700Hz or 400-600Hz, that's not important. Within the chosen passband response,filters and transducers should be linear for faithfull reproduction of signals.
If you buy a radio with variable bandpass and TX/RX EQ, the headset <imho> shouldn't limit your options. And a 20-20000Hz headphone *may* perform better at linearity... 73' Paul PD0PSB DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL wrote: > > After all of the discussion on here about "WHY" some guys might > perceive "noise" where others do not, why are 'phones with these specs > even being considered for a K3 (unless your own hearing cuts off at > 4kc). > > > Frequency Range > 20 Hz - 20 kHz > > Microphone Type > Dynamic > > Mic Frequency Response > 100 Hz - 20 kHz > > Impedance > Headset: 120 Ohms > Microphone: 600 Ohms > > Give me 'phones designed for "communication" any day of the week (EG: > Kenwood HS-5, which is what I've have used for ham radio for "ever"). > > de Doug KR2Q > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > > -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/OT-Yamaha-phones-specs-has-the-world-gone-mad-tp4287088p4287899.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
