[TenTec] Playing the Mic Game

List (Especially new Omni6+ Owners):

     Having recently acquired a new Omni 6+, I decided to confound and 
bore my ham friends to death by playing microphone musical chairs with 
the assorted microphones I've collected over the past 38 years.
     I tried a D-104 (non-amp'd), shure 444, Electro Voice 630 and a 
Heil Pro-set (with HC-5 element). Long story short: none totally filled 
the bill for me. 
     Subsequently, a query to his reflector revealed similar results 
from several other Omni users. The consensus that emerged: try the Ten 
Tec 705 desk mic. I thus ordered one and received it a week ago.
     I can say that it does, in fact, deliver clean, clear audio and 
lots of it. Most of the reports I am now receiving describe my audio as 
"very natural and life like." I also find that I no longer have to run 
the vox gain wide open in order to properly trigger the circuit. My mic 
gain and processer controls all are now at 8:30-9 o'clock levels. 
     If you're in a quandry as to a reasonably priced "natural sounding" 
electret desk mic, give the TT705 a try. Virtually everyone on this 
reflector who recommended the TT705 told me I would keep it if I tried 
it. They're right!
