Default HELP: Collins 32V-3 & RCA 77DX Microphone

Hi
I have a 32V-3 and it works great with the D104 non amplified
microphone. I have a RCA 77DX microphone I wired up to it and people
hear me but low?
I have the modulation knob all the way up and on the modulation meter
no movement? How can I get the microphone to modulate louder?
Thanks....Rich

How long before you're flooding the groups with your ebay spam for it,
fatboy?

Ummm a little something called impedance mismatch.

The output of the 77DX and the 104 are both about 0db @1 Khz
( http://www.coutant.org/3.html and
http://www.ronharter.com/astaticD104.htm )

However, the output impedance of the 77DX is low. Depending on which tap is
selected onthe onboard matching transformer .
The D104 has an extremely high impedance - on the order of 1 megohm.


You need to match 250 ohms to about 10k with a line to grid transformer.
Perhaps an Astic LT-6 or similar

I am surprised they hear you at all.

First make sure the mike is strapped for 250 ohms. Secondly, put it
into a preamplifier with about 20 dB of gain.

That mike is WAY too low-output to plug into a communications mike jack.
