Announcing the HC -6 Wide Response Microphone Element

Heil Sound revolutionized amateur radio audio with their tailored response HC Series elements in 1982, which allowed the non-DSP transmitters of that era to produce different transmit responses by selecting the right microphone element.

Fast-forward 30 years. Bob Heil has designed the new Heil HC-6 that, by adjusting the DSP EQ of the modern transceivers, will produce beautiful, full range broadcast audio as well as narrow response contest/DX audio of the Heil HC-4, all from this one specially designed dynamic microphone element. The many 'voices' of the HC-6 are truly amazing.

Using a .82 inch diameter Mylar diaphragm, the - 3dB points of the wide frequency range are set at 100Hz and 12.5 kHz, with sensitivity of - 57dB at 600 Ohms nominal output impedance centered at 1 kHz. The HC -6 audio response can be equalized to match just about any requirement.

Listen to John W5GI as he transmits using the HC 6 into his Flex transmitter and what you are listening to is that signal recieved on a second Flex receiver.
