Hello, I acquired an astatic d-104 mic. I am getting reports that it too many highs. They say it sounds like I am holding my nose when I talk. Any help is appreciated. 73 C. Allan Allmand - N5CA n5ca

That's the characteristic of the D-104. It was designed for AM transmitters to compensate for receivers being a bit narrow and rolling off the highs (but more gently than with mechanical or crystal f

Let go of your nose? If it has an amplifier in the base, you might consider bypassing the amplifier and running the microphone element's output directly to the rig's input. The amplifier thing was wh

Allan, that is designed into the D104. It is a high-impedance crystal mike that has a very peaked response curve in the voice-frequency range. There really isn't much you can do about it except chang

The D-104 likes a high Z load of about 4.7 megohms, (to achieve proper response) and you don't get this with newer TenTecs and solid state rigs. This has been addressed before, but I can't tell you w

My guess is that you have a mismatch in the mic to the rig. The D-104 is usually set up with a high impedance element and the Ten-Tec and most modern radios is looking for a low impedance, like a dyn

The D-104 mics are made for CB radios. They have a low frequency roll-off from about 1 KHz on down. They also boost higher frequencies. In other words they suck!!! But if you insist on using one ther

Hi Carl es all-- The D104 was in use BEFORE the 11 Meter CB band was even established. The CBers starterd using theD104 because it made their stations look more like ham rigs. Then the Mfg started ta

The D-104 was introduced in 1934 to be exact. It is a fine communications mike. Anyone who passed an amateur exam should be able to figure out how to match the high impedance mike to the low impedanc

Well, Actually, the venerable D-104 without an amplifier was a very respected AM ham radio mike before CB was ever a gleam in the FCC eye! Dating to the 30's it still does get rave audio reports on m

The secret to making the D-104's high-impedance crystal mic element sound great rests in adequate buffering between the crystal element and the relatively low input impedance of the transmitter. Thin

Amplified microphones came to CB because the FCC rules required prevention of over modulation and CB makers responded by keeping the audio gain within the radios so low as to prevent effective modula
