Re: Amplified microphone project for the Q900

That’s the symptom of to much mic sensitivity. That’s adjustable in some radio’s. Mostly commercial. What I do with ham quality radios is pad down the mic. If you hold the mic at arms length it should not pic up anything. This one at arms length is just as bad as in my face. I chose their cheap little Pryne mic to modify but the procedure is the same. You can put felt or some material in front of and around the cartridge to clean up the audio a bit. I also ?turn down the mic. They multiplex the 5v a+ on the audio line with a padder resister across that line. I just add some resistance to it and voila! Mine won’t put out more than 2 watts with out flat toping and cutting the center line. (Over modulated) ?ALC problem. In my humble opinion.?
Thank you for the response. My computer guy is going to help me install an older firmware today so will know if it is a radio thing or software. Since your running the same firmware it starting to look like I got another bad radio. I will order one more if that is the case and if it is bad I’m done with Q900’s. I need a small quantity of something like this for a group I’m doing some work for and they would be perfect if they worked.

I have the Q900 V4 with firmware 3.4.1.

The MA X9814 mic amp in my project has AGC. I did not choose this one, but it was sent to me, because the other one was not available.
With the AGC there is ALC but the gain raises up to 20 dB. So everything in the room can be heard after the release time while not speaking into the mic.
