Hi all:
I'm thinking of experimenting with a fantim powered condenser
microphone.
I'm guessing I'll need some sort of mixer such as a Barhinger 2 band
equed model (802) which will also supply the fantim power I'll need
and will allow me to match the mic's input to my TS-940SAT safely.
What I don't know is: How do I control the PTT action like a
traditional desk mic like the MC--60? Once piped through a mixure and
such, I'm sure the mic will activate automatically similar to if the
switch on the MC-60 is turned on.
I'm also guessing that switching the mic's power off and on, won't do
the trick as there is probably a short delay and there will probably a
noticeable pop on the other end of my DXing and Rag chewing.
I'm thinking some sort of interface will have to be constructed that
will allow the mic to be kept on but not keying the transceiver until
I push a button or something.
Hope someone can advise me on this or knows someone using a setup and
can forward me an email so I may contact this individual for
assistance. Most likely the person at the music store where I'm going
to buy the mic, won't have a clew about applying these kind of mics to
Amateur Radio. (HI)
