How To Attach a Mixer (audio) to Balance Input of my 6600M Question
Kevin Mitchell
Member ✭
I have just brought a 6600M from Hamvention. A totally new radio brand for me.
In my previous setup, with an IC-7700, I ran audio from a Heil PR-40 into a audio Mixer into the rear of the 7700. I like the quality of the input audio. I do know in this case, it's Bal to unbal, which I was able to pad and isolate to make usable. No hardwire connection between mixer and radio.
I wish to be able to do this with the 6600M, and I believe it is straight forward, but I wish to pass this over the group to see and get views from those of you that have already done this.
Any advice, suggestions will be gratefully received.
Regards Kevin.

I can't remember, does the 6600 have an line in option in the mic input menue? If it does then just run a cable from the mixer to the mic plug and use line in.1

Why add an external device when Smart SDR has both TX and RX equalizers built in? I use the plastic FHM-2 and get great audio reports. Seems like adding complexity.2

Kevin, keep in mind you have much more control of the audio on the Flex then you have on an Icom. I really do not see any advantage in an mixer other than the need to use many mics.1

Yes you would get good audio reports but with a PR-40 you would get better audio reports Also some people like me don't like holding onto a hand mic, as I multi-task when on the radio, a hand-held is just not for me.
