2517 AUDIO

[jammeejoe]

I recently acquired a 2517 galaxy. It talks fine but sounds real "basey". I am using a D-104 mike. I was just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem. ThankS

Mine was too basey also. If they are too basey, they get muddy sounding. I made a few changes to mine for my voice and the results were wonderful. I run external rack, Studio Mic (There are MANY to choose from), Art Pro Channel II and a Behringer Ultra-Q. I changed R262 from 10K to a 15K resistor and that cleaned it up for me. I also changed C154 to 10uF 16V Tantalum, C171 and C235 to 47uF Mylars. Your results in audio may be different.

Try a different mic.

The 2517 is the same chassis/radio as a Galaxy DX 959. Chances are that your radio sounds too bassy because the TX coils are out of alignment. Once they are peaked, it should sound outstanding with a D-104. I run a 959 and D-104 and have aligned the entire radio with xlnt reports. It makes quite a difference to have it done and do recommend having it done.

Not to be rude, but how in the heck would "tx coils" have any affect on the TX audi frequency response of the mic and / or modulator circuit?

IIRC, they match the impedance to TX thru those coils after the TX mixer.
Seems to make a huge difference.
