I'm still looking at those electro-voice too.

What's the draw to those?


The look and the sound. Ever hear one on the air?

....uh, yeah..... I work with them every day. The RE20 is probably the
standard BC mic if there is one. But unless you're Bing reincarnate,
none of the high-end EV's are going to improve the quality of your
audio over a condenser that costs a third of the price -- usually
less. If you want punch or pizzazz then you need processing. And not
Brian's junk, either. Software is cheapest, but you can probably find
some good used hardware if you look around.

They usually sound better with the in-radio processor turned off from what
I've heard on the air. (processor on to cut thru the pile so to speak)but
not really, they still sound better without it.


I don't doubt it. The stock filters/limiters/AGC aren't designed for
quality audio.


They can be fairly expensive mics..I like the look of the 664 sorta like an
old Cadillac. Sounds good too.

Cool microphones if only for the look and nothing else.


I like the looks of the old Turners myself.


How good is good enough? We talk on mics and compare audio around here,
best way to window shop with a limited by the budget.

Wire it up and talk on it. (through caution to the wind)


How much electronics experience do you have, soldering and such?

Just enough to get me in trouble as far as that goes..no problem soldering
up a mic connector as long as I have the pin out.

I almost forgot to ask which antenna's you run, Frank?

A wire in the trees (Voobner was right, just throw a couple wires in
the trees and use a tuner -- works great). I had an A99 but it got
nuked by lightning. I've got a CCD in the attic but haven't hooked it
up for a while. Next spring I plan on building a new mast and hoisting
a vertical CCD just for experimentation.

Aren't you running one of Jay's contraptions?

Good answer

I'm running the interceptor for a ground plane 37' off the ground, is that
what you call a contraption? It seems to work well.

Then I have the flatside yagi 80' away from it but it's only about 32' up.
It smokes most antenna's for dx usually, but not always.

Reckon what voobner would use?
