SRA-198 microphone frequency response

Currently Vietnam, yes?

 

Probably from china but like anything else china is capable of the worst and some of the better too.

I don't mind paying 50$ for the sra if it is well built but 20$ for some cheap one at truck stop no thx.

My 955 is more than likely from china too but if the design is good why not, but i wouldn't spend half the dough of my 955 on some unknown radio to try to achieve the same result.

Same as Red Wing boots some models are made in the US and the design is just bad and the boots simply doesn't last.

 

Ok, I'll bite. I've got 3 of the original Telex Road King 56 mics. Used them for years. They are a fine mic. Sound awesome. Then, a couple years ago, I got a SRA-198. I think it sounds just as good if not better with my voice. Everyone's voice is different, and different mics respond differently to different voices. I use the SRA-198 now, mainly because I like the feel of it better, and I can push the PTT button with my fingers instead of my thumb. My thumb would occasionally slip off the button on the Road Kings, especially on rough lease roads, where we spend a lot of time.

I'm not just going by what others tell me. I've made recordings of my radio with different mics, and I know what I hear. Regardless of what some meter tells me. The Ranger is a good mic.

 

I hear ya. We all dread lease roads, but every time I go haul anything non-oilfield, I always miss it. OTR is one thing, and a lot of folks like it, but I like running with my crew and keeping each other company, and I just like the oilfield in general.

Hope it all works out soon for ya.

In regards to microphones the question has to be ask – Are looking for fidelity or communication ability?

I find it odd that two way communication all have tailored frequency response . Liston to up/down links from the space station sometime.
