Anytone AT-6666 Replacement Electret Microphone

[Capt Crunch]

I really believe its the way some people pronounce words with the 6666 stock mic and possibly the way it is made. I myself cut and stuck a large thick foam mic windscreen to the front of both mics but the 6666 still had this weird muffly sound to it. Its also weird how they built it inside as it looks like the mic element is actually below the rounded section inside where you would normally talk into where the element usually is in other mics. The DNC520 now sounds great like a studio mic almost and no background noise that was there before the foam. The DNC520 was also louder than the stock on my talkback when hooked up first without the foam.

try putting a sock over it LOL not to thick not to thin.

I’m back to a guessing game. People are now telling me the 6666 mic sounds best.

I tried FL Native’s suggestion even though I think he was joking. Yep you got it. Put both mics in separate socks and tried them.

Stock mic wearing a sock gets best reports of both now.

As an added note, No Nike Socks were used in this experiment.

Red gets you 10 more watts.

Yes it does Leo. I found out that Black Socks Matter.

Darn.....

I see what you did there. darn. LOL

 

[Capt Crunch]

LOL! Probably the funniest posts page ever!
I still think its more of how its made and the way some people talk. No matter what my stock mic sounded weird at times. The 520 was fine although talking directly into it is not suggested, at least for me, did the same thing. I'm a side talker anyways lol.

I think it's a washout

Ok, so recap if you will, what works and what doesn’t?

And let’s say you ran this in a semi, you’d need a noise canceling mic so what do you think the choice should be?

I'm not really sure what works best. I've had the stock/sock mic on for days now and folks like the sound of it best. Louder and clearer SSB and AM. Or so they say and no pfff with the dumb @$$ looking sock in place.

Running the 6666 in a truck I don't know which would be best as my Anytone is part of my Base setup and I'm very satisfied with the radio and either mic. I just consider one or the other as a spare mic.
