Hi.
Actually, I'm told that the MC60 tends to favor my voice range. I do need
to differentiate between the MC60 and the MC60A, though. I have the
unamplified MC60 on my TS690S, and it has always worked well for me. On
the other hand, I had an MC60A for almost a year and it gave me nothing but
trouble until I finally hit a circumstance where the RF pickup was
apparently bad enough to cook the preamp in the MC60A. But, then, I have
never had good luck with preamplified mics, with exception of some of the
Icom ones which are apparently well shielded and bypassed.
