I assume you're talking about Bob heil. I think I saw the same exact clip. That is an excellent clip. He broke it down so that people like myself (Layman) can actually understand what he was speaking about. I would suggest anyone thinking about studio microphones, wide banding, and outboard audio gear watch that video (several times)
I have 2 FS 2340's, both were restored by the same person. The same guy who I send anything that needs attention to.
He did an excellent job of recapping, aligning, and anything else that one would need in order to get one of these old tube type radios working. They both work really well. since I own two of them i wouldn't mind direct injecting one of them. I am going to hook up the interface, 802 and sm58 to the sonar only because I already have these items, and they're just sitting in a box in the corner of the closet. I have gotten great reports on the Madison since Loosecannon did the fet mod on my silver eagle. I honestly think the Madison sounds better with the set modified Silver Eagle then it did with the EQ/mixer combination. Even if it sounded better with the equalizer and the other two pieces of equipment it wasn't enough to warrant keeping it hooked up. It's amazing what A modification such as the fet mod can do for one's audio. I recently listened to a station using a 756 icom and one of those $80 mixers sold by that guy somewhere in the Ukraine, or Poland. Ukw6 something or another. And it sounded incredible. that little device and no modifications to the 756 had that transceiver sounding truly incredible on SSB. I can't recall that other very well-known company that builds those noise Gates and equalizers specifically for HF use, but the price difference between that and the one from Ukrainia(?) is huge. Back to the subject at hand. I wouldn't mind direct injecting one of these sonars. As I mentioned both are in excellent working order and might be a good candidate for that type of modification. I will speak to the technician that does the work on my equipment, and see if he'll do it. It's not a question of whether he can do it or not. He absolutely can do it, but there's some things that he doesn't mess with, and this might be one of them. I'm not a hundred percent sure. Before I do that I am going to go ahead and send him the interface. I'll have him switch out the 5 pin to a 1/4 inch phone plug. He knows the sonar radio is very well and will know exactly how to wire the interface so that it will plug into the sonar as opposed to the Madison. Now that I think about it he will actually have to change the mic cord in which the interface uses to plug directly into the radio, and the (interfaces) mic's 5 pin input to a 1/4 inch. I will let you guys know how it worked out. Thanks again for taking the time to reply. 73

[QUOTE="Sonar, post: 603625, member: 47153"] I assume you're talking about Bob heil. I think I saw the same exact clip. That is an excellent clip. He broke it down so that people like myself (Layman) can actually understand what he was speaking about. I would suggest anyone thinking about studio microphones, wide banding, and outboard audio gear watch that video (several times) I have 2 FS 2340's, both were restored by the same person.
