SAME AS WITH PROCESSOR ON (may need to tweak some of these settings?)ġ60 - change from 0 to -6 (may even go as much as -10 if too much bass)ġ63 - change from 0 to -3 (Heil suggest even go to -6)ġ69 - change from -3 to -6 (may even go as much as -10 if too much bass)ġ72 - change from 0 to -3 (Heil suggest even go to -6)ġ. Here are the settings I'm running (for both the Heil PR 781 and the Yaesu MD-100)īW (menu 104) 200-2800 - was 300-2700 (may use 300-2700 for DX work/contest work.or maybe even extreme of 400-2600?) I like the mic, but I was just a little surprised that it did NOT sound that much different than the MD-100. He's been comparing the audio between the two mics and sending me files with the results from his SDR. I've done quite a bit of on air testing with another Ham who has an SDR setup. I'm running it with a Yaesu FT DX 1200 radio. We'll see how it holds up over time.īought my PR 781 to compete with my Yaesu MD-100 mic. If you're looking for a desktop stand look at the Atlas - it's real nice! No PTT, but I use a footswitch so don't need one. I don't have shock mounts or swing arms, and I refuse to pay $80 for a Heil desktop base, so for $30 I bought an Atlas DS7E desktop stand. I don't have a broadcast announcer voice, but this mic reproduces the voice I do have more faithfully than any other mic I have tried. My audio is considerably more "well rounded" even with the same EQ settings. I got the PR-781 to see of there was any difference. My current mic is a Heil Proset IC, which sounds really good on the air. I'm not into ESSB, but you don't have to be to get high quality audio from a good rig/mic combo. Not wanting to splurge for the PR40 or an RE20, and after hearing solid reviews I chose a PR-781. Now that I have a rig that has all that EQ stuff in it (Elecraft K3s) I wanted to try one of those fat studio mics. Set your 2nd receiver to WIDE BANDWIDTH, listen to yourself, then return it to normal. If you ask people how you sound, their radio Bandwidth is all differant, hence you'll get a million differant answers. That's what the MONITOR button it for on your radio in case you don't know.This is the right way to do it. TIP: Listen to your own Transmit Audio on a second receiver with headphones, you can adjust your Transmit audio exactly the way you want it then. Increases the Midrange by 8 db! Better Articulation all the way around, now it's a real mic.Roger that? Go see my pictures on Q R Z ! Easy to do.It turns it into a real MIC!! Remember how you can CUP you Hand by your ears for better hearing? I tried it on the MIC with a Plastic MEOW MIX can, never looked back. Missing Midrange, too much Bottom end.I use it on my ICOM 7600 and the PRO-3 at times.

You can USE it on ICOMs - But it needs help! Funny Heil made the 781 for the Icom 781 and I just don't see how the two fit.
#Essb audio settings pro
If you own a Icom buy the Boom/Headset Pro with the IC element that works outstanding on Icom rigs. I feel Heil has also went down the path of chasing these ESSB guy and has forgotten his past, my old trusty HM10 still lives at a buddies QTH that I bought back in the late eighties or early nineties, That mic put him on the map and the newer mics leave the DXers behind a little, long live that HC5 element!īTW the ESSB guys are mostly using some great mics like EV RE20 and RE27's but then they EQ the crap out of them and sound like the old CB power mics of years ago!
#Essb audio settings mod
This mod makes the 781 sound great and I use this mic with my FTDX101. BTW this helps the mic become even more unidirectional but your midrange will not be overpowering with the bass. The 781 with a little bit of modification will work better with Yaesu rigs.Īs far as the mod its easy, just unscrew the three small Philips heads holding the front of the mic onto its casing then wrap 3M electrical tape over the sides of the foam holding the element in front. I have owned this mic since 2007 when my wife gave it to me as an Xmas gift, this is a very broad range dynamic mic and unless you have there Icom mic cable with the DC blocking cap installed it doesn't play well with older Icom radio's.
