   im having problems setting up my microphone, i do gameplay videos when i
   playback my video on my laptop my voice is soo quiet and low i can hardly
   hear myself and the volume switch wont go no higher, and if i turn the gain
   too high it makes my voice loud but i get awful sounds and like an echo of
   my voice. so frustrating. any tips or advice of what im doing wrong. i have
   bought a tried a few mixers and are all doing same thing??? atm i have
   behringer enyx 502

   Good video Sterling. I have been using a GM-5 Heil mic for many years now
   with good results and recently just added an EQ-Plus by w2ihy and getting
   good reports so far but I am still tweaking a little to find the best
   settings for my voice but seems great so far.

   @sterwing Why do hams think they have to use big words to explain something
   small???

   Thanks for watching and subbing! I use a run-of-the-mill Canon 300 ELPH
   point and shoot. Very nice stereo audio, 1080p video, image stabilization,
   but lacks elsewhere — like the zoom chatters when you use it during video,
   the mic is susceptible to wind, and it likes to defocus. I got
   advertisements on my videos in hope I can save up for a professional
   camcorder…maybe in 5 years at this rate haha!

   Phantom power is for powering condenser microphones. They use an element
   that requires a voltage (usually 48v) and a small amount of current to
   power the mic. Without it, no sound comes through. Dynamic mics on the
   other hand work completely mechanically, and require no power. I turn off
   phantom power because I’m using the PR40, a dynamic mic. The MXL990
   conversely is a condenser, and requires it.

   Nope — sound mixers are completely unnecessary, as you could wire a good
   Heil mic right into most rigs; they’ll require some sort of interface
   though, especially with Icom rigs. A mixer is nice, though, because it
   allows me to use any mic, send audio anywhere, adjust levels, use condenser
   mics (because of phantom power) and all that fun stuff.

    I’m amazed at how this young man has amassed so much equipment in his
    “Shack!” My attention was drawn to the Collins R390A Receiver sitting to
    his left on the second shelf. I used that very same receiver (Along with a
    Hammarlund SP600JX) when I was a Morse Intercept Operator in the USAF back
    in the late 60’s. Excellent receiver and probably the BEST piece of
    equipment in the entire video!

    hahahahahahah YES, I am telling you to remove your head from your rectum. I
    can only assume you’re a CB radio fan, hence you’re saying an Astatic
    microphone is better than a Heil. I don’t doubt it, but the fact that Heil
    sells to top performers, broadcast stations and so on, serves reason to
    believe they are two different companies with two different audiences. CB
    Troll be trollin h*m radio videos. Watch out for brain cancer from them CB
    radio wavez.

    Interesting video. I used to have TS870 DSP with MC60 for many years – the
    audio was brilliant. Vy73! de SQ7IKR

    Very helpful! I’m in the process of buying an FT3000D with Heil PR761. I’m
    not planning on using an equalizer so hope I get decent audio. I will keep
    an eye on the ALC and mic gain! Thanks for the tutorial. 73.

    I’ve noticed from working dx stations late evening that when the conditions
    have a lot of phase shifting going on that too much mid range and
    compression is worse than if they simply left it as normal full range.
    Sometimes the lows make it easier for me to understand some characters
