UR6QW EQ'S
- Thread starter Sonar
- Start date
I cant remember what it was but I seen something today, "Luxurious German Design" and the bottom corner, "Made in China".
I thought this guy builds his own shit and it sounded good.
It might be just slow but I cant just piss away $150usd if it dont show up.
I already lost my ebay protection waiting, I cant lose my PP protection too, sorry.
What pisses me off is now he blocked Canada now I cant even order another one.
I got the W2HYI eq plus and the one with the sliders, got them at a garage sale $20
I wanted to try the UR6QW unit, it sounded great.
Must be some political BS at customs where they let it rot for months or it just never made it.
It happened with my wire for the pdlII, made a claim, no response got my money back.
But I gave back the money after it did mosey in here eventually.
Some of these guys you see have a mirror listing under different store names, one gets like 50 red strikes in a month, then the mirror shows up selling the same shit to the letter, even the sellers feedback is a exact response for the store that screwed 50 people.
Now I'm not saying thats happening here but wtf.

USA has placed sanctions against Russia, I believe this also includes technology.
Guess who decided to show up yesterday?
ur6qw needs to extend the protection period and require real tracking.
I had no clue if this showed up and a crackhead stole it or it was traveling by submarine.
Glad it showed up though...its nice

well I dunno if usps will track but tracking is a must and it stopped tracking march 30th.
wtf was it doing till June?
Its really good though, the noise gate makes it sound studio quality right there.

I dont have a way to record the audio but I can tell you what I know so far.
It works ok, it does boost lows and highs, echo works and the noise gate is ok with the ac running 2 feet away it helps.
But the noise gate is always on. You can turn it up, down but not off which gets annoying real fast.
The echo delay will produce a buzz/squeal in the audio if you have the knob all the way to the left. So you must have it to the second dot to get rid of that.
The compression is ok but I prefer the one on my pro 3.
Other than those issues the audio is ok, defiantly better than just the mic.
I did a mod to shut the noise gate off, I'm not sure if it will fry the noise gate (mod didn't work) but since
UR6QW doesn't communicate worth shit, I have to try and figure it out myself.
I guess the only thing I can do is use a 4.7K on the low side of the pot to ground and pull it to ground.
This disables the noise-gate altogether though. I tried all the way up to 1M and it wont pull it high when I try to turn the gate up.
With the gate all the way down it rumbles the audio from quiet to things like the clock clicking or me breathing, it wont just shut off and give you pin-drop audio, its always trying to kick in.
Its just annoying
There is a chip thats scratched up to hide the name: SSM2166
Not sure whats up with that
OK I ended up removing the "slow" position on the time switch and running a 4.7k to the low side of the gate control.
So its factory set on fast and normal but on slow its "OFF".
As off as I can get it.

Just an update.
So far there's no way to disable noise gate except to unsolder the pot, which is less an ideal and theres something else that cracks in the audio on background and low peaks thats pretty annoying, just like the 858 chassis had strangely enough.
Its not bad but I'd would get the non gate unless you got a ton of noise to drown out.
I'd be nice to be able to disable it when not in use but its still there no matter how low you turn it down.

Otherwise I like the unit. As was posted earlier its better than a lot of others. I like the gate since I have a window unit ac blowing 10 feet away.
Im running an aftermarket coffin mic as a power mic is too much. Im bidding on a non amplified d104 now as I think thats the mic i want.
Ill open this up and post a couple pics for you folks to play wheres waldo with.

I love mine and on SSB you can really see the difference with the compression, no drop off with some words etc. If you crank the compression you definitely sound compressed but you will get more peak.
Overall once you tweak everything and get it just right you can sound amazing. I use a stock microphone running into it and I sound like I'm running it through something much more expensive.
You have to be very careful not to overdo it though
I didn't notice the NG always being on but more my purposes I love the NG, it actually works really well and can get rid of fan noise completely.
My only complaint is I have to run mine with the mic gain at zero - the gain in the thing is crazy. If I turn it up even slightly you can hear a mouse fart.
I also don't like the output wires, cheap feel. To prevent any extra feedback noise probably want to put toroid on them.
For the price I'd say one of the coolest and best accessories I've purchased over the years especially compared to other products.
Mine arrived in a couple of weeks - process on eBay was super smooth, no issues. This was before coronavirus though.

The switch isn't for echo the fast/slow switch is for attack time on the Noise Gate. Echo is controlled with delay and amount knobs.
Front jack isn't for headphones - it's a mic input jack. I have radios with VOX so I can plug in my headset mic cable into there and earphones RX into the radio and then I can talk using a boom mike headset and run my audio through the ur6qw.
Very cool for hands free operation!
