Hi Kevin. Glad to see you're still alive and kicking.Time for you to
get back on the air and show 'em what proper voice EQ really sounds
like.

Hey, I got a tape of one of your old ADV broadcasts called "The Ominous
Trend". Quite a prophetic broadcast in light of today's invasion from
Mexico. Nobody can say you didn't warn us !


Voice EQ? What a crock. ....

You obviously never heard WB4AIO's great sounding audio. As you well
know, many hams, and every broadcast station uses audio EQ and other
processing techniques to improve voice quality. So, like, what's your
beef?


if you need EQ you don't have a voice.

So how's the brain EQ working out for you?


That's bull****. Many, if not most, broadcast stations use no
equalizers. They cause more problems than they solve. Microphone
choice, technique; studio treatment and dynamics processing are used
to tailor the voice sound.




Your statement is factually incorrect regarding equalization, though
the factors you mentioned certainly do affect sound quality and I do
not disparage them.

All AM stations use _at least_ the required NRSC equalization, and
virtually all broadcast stations, AM, FM, or TV, use multiband audio
processing, which is in itself a kind of adaptive, dynamic equalization.

I just applied those techniques, suitably refined for a narrower
bandwidth, to my amateur radio station, after modifying my gear to
remove the somewhat ham-handed attempts of the manufacturers to
shape the audio.


With all good wishes,
