New FHM-3 Mic - Opinions ??

henry lance · January 2020

I don't use mic's to often these days, and rather use a hand mic when I do. The FHM-1 I have with my 6500 is to me, just awful. Is the newest FHM-3 better.

I took my FHM-1 apart and discovered that there is very small slots to let your voice in to the mic. the face of that mic a almost closed off. I modified mine buy opening the slots up on the front and now it sounds much much better. that mic face is a terrible design.

Bill, is there a way to tell a FHM-1 from -2 or -3 version? I thought -2 was dynamic and -1 was a condenser type mic. I have both versions but visually, can't tell them apart. I'd not previously heard that a new -3 had been introduced. What are the differences?

Deny, I really don't know. But my FHM-1 has pretty good sound now. It was so bad that no amount of EQ would help it...lol

The FHM-1 is a dynamic microphone.

My 6400 shipped last August with the FHM-3. I still cannot find any info on that mic. I assumed that it was an electret (condenser) type and needed bias on.
