Mic comparisons, recorded the right way.

Ok no schematic.

 

Eric, thanks.

 

Thankyou, sorry for being a sarcastic jerk, I shouldnt post after dental work. Im just leaving mine as it came from the box, but thanks again Eric for prompt reply. I really do like the mic, $ 44.00 well spent.

 

Im using the SL 41 on my Cobra 29 chrome LTD ( I change radios all the time) and on air reports tell me it sounds great, loud and clear. As some of you may know the factory talkback on a 29 ( lx or chrome) is very low in volume but this mic is the loudest Ive heard through talkback on this radio, so Im guessing I can safely assume that it is louder on air then the other mics( 636,Dp 56, 198, Rk 56) would be on same radio.

 

The info sheet that came with the mic said that it only draws battery current when you key up, so unless you are long winded on a base station in your moms basement the battery should last 2 years like adverstised.

 

To short out the 2 header pins, does that mean to bent them together ? I think its best if I go find the 2mm jumpers at a radio shop.

 

you could always solder a wire across them

 

I wouldn't bend them. You'll probably crack the board if you do. Solder is the way to go. I'd probably drop a little solder on 2mm shunt if I used one too. If you'll notice, everything inside that mic is soldered.....for a good reason I'd say.

 

You can buy what is called header jumpers on ebay for a few bucks, I would use them instead of trying to hack it together.

BUT a suggestion to Eric, maybe he can start throwing a couple header jumpers in with the mic when they are packaged at the factory?

 

Personally I wouldn't mess with it. You want that bass to roll off anyway.
