I bought on in1998, used it for 1 week on a couple different radios. Let's just say that it has been in its box ever since. It is of good quality, just not something that you need. Just plug the mic into your radio and talk :) Buy one, you'll see.
The problem here is that the rig used doesn't operate @ 3khz (or more) wide. On transceivers (mostly ham) that operate @ 3khz wide or more the results will be much better. Especially with the lows. 73
Zoo Yawk, If I understand you correctly. the transceiver needs that bandwidth of 3 khz wide in order to hear the difference. Then my question to you sir is there truly a difference in terms of having a hi fi sound? Thank WRo0959
these things are made well, on a PCB with surface mount components. The noise gate is worth the price in itself. Pair with a quality studio microphone and your rig will sound unbelievable. My only complaint is I would like to see one that has a headphone jack for audio output monitoring.
@stangmaster 2 I didn't ask if it was easy to add, or how I could monitor my audio in a half assed way. I simply said it would be nice to have as a factory feature. Also, if you break the seal on this unit or modify it in any way, the warranty is void, So go pound sand.
Here’s the mixer with a more in depth review and plus modulation comparison of a CB mic with the mixer Versus a pro studio mic with the mixer.👇🏻 ruclips.net/video/svubezfPZ84/видео.html
perfect timing, ive been wanting to get one of these for my 4 pin cobra mic`s plus my older ham radios that i have adapted for 4 pin cobra with nothing but turner mics. think you have me sold on it. thanks 73s
Hey kids, do you want to be clean, clear and noticed on the radio? Are you jealous about your neighbor because he has a D104 and sounds real loud and of course is cranked to the max so it's very raspy and sounds like garbage? The D104 is a great microphone but often misused. For best results with any radio to monitor your transmit audio, you should set up another radio next to your main station and use headphones to hear yourself. If your into audio tweaks and adjustments with transmit audio without opening your own radio, this is for you. You will sound as good as you can with the limitations of your radio and microphone. I have other brands of this very similar item and I use it every time. I can now not go back to just a radio and microphone, because you will sound way too good to just go back to sounding like a 1907 telephone. Your turning your radio into a high quality sounding station, if you compare without a unit like this. Different radios and microphones sound different. Have fun and experiment with the radio hobby.
I got the same box for my Icom with the mic and headphone jacks for a headset and ptt in the back for my foot switch I run a behringer B1 into the 3.5mm MIC jack and it sounds killer. The Icom SM20 sounds good plugged right in also. The only thing I dont like is I couldn't turn the gate off 100%. Its on a bit all the time. Other than that, the EQ works really good. Not sure what one breakerbroke had but the UR6QW version here has only been out a few years, no way this was out in 1998
QUESTION?? I have watched several videos and read forums. They all talk about the 3.5mm jack in front and say it is for condenser mics but a few videos say NO phantom power. I will use an old stock mic for PTT and disable the element. Will the 3.5mm jack power my BM-800 condenser mic??? That is all I have for now. I just don't want to buy something and then have to buy something else to use it.
@@gjm8461 Mine has a XLR input on the back of the EQ. Some versions may not have it. It just depends on how you plan on using it. The seller who designs these eq's will accommodate you for various styles of setup with his EQ.
@@gjm8461 My EQ has a PTT Jack on the back also so you can use a hand switch or foot switch for your PTT. My EQ also has a standard four-pin Cobra mic Jack on the front so you can use any microphone wired for that pinout as well.

We need good radios,not toys.I do not even use mic amp :D
If it’s that bad sell it get ur money back.
Glad to see a new video from you.
Keep up with the articles of new or used equipment/radios
I have version 4 without the noise gate(purchased new via eBay) using a Kenwood MC-90 into an RCI-2970N2. Been getting glowing audio reports.

I agree, I'd really like to have a headphone jack on mine.

Thanks, I've been wondering about products like this, and the difference in audio etc. - now I'm informed 👍

What do you use to power the unit. Guess I need the exact thing needed to power it
Just a normal 12 volt DC power supply.

I plan to get one of these when $$ becomes available. Cheers & 73 from W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee

I would like to hear it in AM too.. Nice job

I'm still waiting for a box like this that has *true reverb* instead of echo.
Well worth the 130$$$$ I made a few back in 94-95, they went for 249 back then.
Sounds good, I'd like to buy one! 😃 PS: Happy New Year!!! 😃
Plug in a studio mic and it really makes a huge difference
Great test thx

So this requires a brick power supply? How about a plug in wall DC to AC?
Show the power supply please
Where should the mic gain on transceiver be run?
Hi, could you share with us the manual setup? Tanks
does it work on a cb radio i was told it would not work i have a bearcat 980 ssb
Yes I’ve used it with a 980
I would love to hear this on am
Where can i find the user manuals ? Let me know, R3gars .
Can you run an amplifier while using this?
Yes, we tested it while running an amplifier.
How can i power this EQ in a Semi Truck? Any suggestions? Thanks
There is a new tiny digital version out that uses usb 5v to power. Video coming soon!
@@cbradiomagazine That’s great!! Is it out yet?
It sounds great vs stock sound of radio. I use one with a studio 🎤 and the results are fantastic on my Ranger 2995DXCF.
We’re is the plug for the studio mic ......and why didn’t he mention that

@@ScottsRadios .... u have to key down the PTT to use the studio mic at the same time
Is that a headphone jack on the front?
No it's a mic input jack. ur6qw.jimdofree.com/eq-v-6/
That is neat.
I run the old version on my anytone 666
Sorry , sounds gargly [like a flanger] with and without device. Somebody dun fingered dat radio. Try again with a different transmitter.
