What mic do you use...

[listner132]

Just wondering what mic you are using on your anytone type radios ? looking to try another mic on my v6 5555 if i was to change from the standard mic then what would you recommend ?

thanks.

A std coffin mike sounds good on the anyclones
Way better than the standard one
But remember pin 4 is live on an anyclone
So before you try a mic from a 148/grant ect make sure the rx wire ain't on pin 4 or pfffft magic smoke

A friend of mine uses a Sadelta MB-30+ on his, it sounds very nice.

The K-PO NM532 power mic sounds exceptionally well on these radios. Hands and feet above the stock mic.

Astatic silver eagle on my magnum deltaforce .....sounds nice

D104 Silver Eagle on a (old skool) Lincoln

Silver Eagle on whatever old school Uniden set I have in the shck at the time.

I am told it sounds good on all of them.

TBH near enough all Uniden Radios sound good using any Astatic mics

They sound good with sadeltas as well, but in a different way.

The anytone uses a condensor mic element so if you use a standard coffin mic the small amount of voltage that would normally power the element gets applied to the dynamic element in the coffin mic. That restricts the movement of the coil and makes it less responsive. You get the same issue with newer midlands etc.

I used a sadelta echomaster on mine and it sounded great. As astradyne has already said the K-PO NM532 is a good fit and cheap as well.
