[TenTec] Microphones

[alan geller]

Scott,
If you want the ultimate setup, take a look at VE7TK's home page. He used that audio setup with his Omni VI+ before he upgraded to to his Orion.
I started on that path but decided that I didn't want to invest in that level of microphone and it introduced too many cables, but it is interesting for a real audiophile.I still have the Behringer UB802 Mixer and DSP1142P which are both relatively inexpensive. I'll sell them both for $75 if you want to take that path.

I now get stunning reports with the "Studio" mike, Heil built for TenTec connected thru a W2IHY EQ. Heil used one of his better elements with a broad response and it needs the EQ which gives you lot of control and more knobs to play with. I acquired both of these units used which helped me justify the upgrade and it was well worth it. I couldn't find the mike in Heils Website in order to understand the response characteristics, so I sent him an e-mail. He graciously responded...see below

The Studio ONE  was built for Ten Tec when they introduced the Orion 1.  I used one our PR 20 microphone elements in the body.  You should be just fine - especially with the W2IHY EQ system.  Listen to yourself through a second receiver and a pair of headphones.

Have fun !

Hello TenTec nation,
Would you please provide info and or opinions on which Heil microphone would work well with my Omni VI. I've decided the audio portion of my station needs an upgrade.
