What is the best microphone for the Magnum S-9? I have used the stock mic and a D104. Who has some thoughts? |

the dm452 just 'cracked' on makes me sound too deep, but my 13 year old son sounded much older. an older shure 526t desk mic SCREAMS, & remains crystal clear, & even removes some of the 'scratch' with the topgun 'on'-to those who don't know/appreciate the sound of the compressor. a turner +2 has roughly the same affect, & 'SCREAMS' as well. an amplified D104 also got good reports, but the movement of the air molecules was most pronounced with this mic. an astatic road devil also got great reports. |

Thank you! I'm just wanting a quality mic that is better that the stock mic. This radio cooks without a power mic anyway. I don't like the "head in a bucket" sound a power mic gives to this radio. I'm leaning towards a 636. Thanks, CEF 530 Northwest Indiana

I'm using a d104 mobile mic. I like it. Copper has the chrome version for members on special for 29 bucks. Wildrar |

What luck,I just installed a 104-c on my s9 last weekend I had more reports that the stock mic sounded better than the d104, The stock mic seemed to have a lower tone while the 104 had a louder but, sounded like it had too much "treble". I had a time in trying to figure the wiring out for the d104, I finally wired it shield and blue on the #1 pin, after that We were talking. |
