I’ve just published an article on a recent comparison between MC-60A and handheld microphone.
While trying to improve Kenwood TS-590S SSB performances, I recently purchased an used MC-60A microphone.
After a couple of weeks in which I’ve been testing this preamplified desk microphone, I’ve sorted out by making a final on the air comparison.
According to my tests, the original handheld dynamic microphone works better that the desktop one.
Read my article and listen to the audio recording.
Ciao Simone, complimenti per il tuo sito ricco di info per noi om. Vorrei chiederti se esiste una versione di HRD per apple. Vorrei utilizzare una piattaforma che mi permetta in ambiente apple di fare le stesse cose: log, cat radio digitale. Grazie, 73′ Davide IZØGRR
No, non esiste…devi usare un software di virtualizzazione come VMWare installarci windows e quindi HRD.
I bought a 590 and MC60A. On my ant. I had RF feedback. Earthing the plate with a crock lead to the rigs mic skt helped but not earthing the base plate to the earth inside the base uni, this made matters worse – odd I thought!!!!
My cure was to earth the base plate to the center, then adding a 10nF across the signal output skt I am now RF feedback free. Another cure is to link the center pin to the signal earth pin.
To get round the quality issue I run the mic. pre-amp with it set to 50K, but I do need to adjust the Eq in the menu… I should not have to do that on a ‘not-so-cheap’ mic.
I was thinking of building a small tone control unit to try inside the base. Great rig but no so keen on the MC60A – not with my voice anyway… how come Kenwood allowed some to be released with the signal leads reversed?????
need wwiring info for MC50 mic to Ts50s Kenwood radio,low audio
