X-treme eSSB Audio FORUM

50KW Hit it on the head. There is a low end resonance from the RE20 that no other dynamic mic has. Not only does it have that smooth low to mid range lushness, it has a jenesequa that sets it apart from all the other dynamic mics I have used. The highs are very clean and natural on the RE20, whereas...

Rodger on having a spare!! :D It is easier to change the resistors on the ALC Sub Unit then to actually remove the Sub Unit from the Main board. It does not come out easily even with the correct de-soldering tools. :( The easiest way to remove the entire ALC Sub Unit is to just clip all the leads of...

Howdy PU2OYL, That looks like the ALC Sub Unit, if your having issues with it why don't you just change the resistors out on it. This mod works very well and I have done it many times. Some times even brand new Sub Units will fail and have the same issue unless the resistors values are changed. One ...

Howdy JJ, Well, to simply answer your question. When you EQ your audio for the best spectral balance for eSSB, after adding the lows and the highs that you would want, one of the first things that happens is that you start to cut your mid-range frequencies for balance. This is where most of your "Ta...

It's always good to be excited! :D In this picture, if I'm not mistaken, the audio from the Drawmer and the DSP2024 (plate reverb) run into the Behringer mixer and than into the Kenwood. (Can someone explain how it runs through the mixer and is it better that way? This is called "Side Chaining" We r...

Howdy Chris, It's hard to go wrong with the TC Electronic product. Out of most of the manufactures we have had the opportunity to sample, the TC Electronic equipment seemed to have the best sound to it even though it was being digitized. Good Stuff. The M350 will probably do more then what your want...

Anybody hear any VOOOOODOOOOO on 10 meteros?!

Howdy wannavoodoo, Hmmm, well it should play very nice on AM if these following things are researched and optimized... 1 - Try to find out how the rig is producing AM. If it is a Balanced Modulator (BM) then try to find out how to best feed the Rack Audio directly to the BM thru a Capacitor and or a...

Howdy Mr. Nice, Unfortunately, the carrier offset doesn't have enough adjustment to make a big difference on the wider filters. Even if it did, then it would be set for the wider filters and the narrower filters will have severe low frequency roll off when engaged. YES! If you want to play eSSB (Ext...

Howdy Wannavoodoo, Unfortunately, we have no experience at all with Icom Rigs. You will find that most eSSB (Extended SSB) Operators tend to go with other rigs. The only one that has ever been thru here was a Icom 706 MK2 G that we changed the TX Filter out on and widened it up to about 3Kc. Other t...

Howdy 19ut003,

Welcome to the Forum!

Thanks for your input on the Zoom H2. That sounds like a very interesting combination for the 870. This is what we like to hear and see, "Out of the Box" type of thinking and experimentation.

Take Care,

Howdy Mrnice,
Welcome to the Forum!!

The TS-850 is a terrific rig by itself for sure, only excelled by the addition of the DSP-100. We hope you can find one soon!
Take Care,

Howdy N9WYV,

Were you ever able to EQ and set your Gain Structure properly on your Rack?
How are things playing now?

Take Care,

Howdy ECC82,

Gotta love that Tube Porn!!!

Let us know how you like the sound of the 5751 Command Series Tube compared to the other tubage you have rolled in your gear.

Take Care,

Howdy Damon,

Welcome to the Forum!!
Glad to have you aboard.

We hope that the information here will help you.

Take Care,

Howdy Pete, Welcome to the Forum!! I hope you can find all the information you want here. Unfortunately, We are not at all familiar with the XENYX or the SHARK equipment you listed to offer any info as to their performance or connection. Out of the Mics Listed, the PR781 will probably give you the b...

Howdy Joe, Due to a severe case of Occlusion when wearing any type of Closed style earphones, the only thing we can wear is Open Style. This does present some unique problems such as feedback when the TX Monitor is too loud or when improper Mic Technique (Stevie Wonder Head, AKA. Bobble Heading) is ...

Howdy Jbat, Welcome to the Forum!! Very Glad to have you here. Your Audio List looks very nice for starting out into the Voodoo World! The only thing that you would not need is the W2IHY I-Box. The VMSDX has a high end Jenson Isolation Transformer built in as part of the modifications. It looks like...

Thanks for the Post on the Caps in the Power Supply ECC82! That will be very helpful in the future. One word of importance for you... The 22uF, 400V Cap (C10) needs to be a Long Life, High Ripple capacitor. This is due to the high voltage amplitude of the switcher it sees all the time. We usually us...

Howdy Daniel, Welcome to the Forum!!! EXCELLENT Article Daniel! That is what were talking about, true Experimentation! That is incredible research and modification. Thank You for posting it on the Forum. This will help many people to have an alternative transceiver to play with eSSB. We are honored ...
