Bulldog's Mid-Fi Audio On The Cobra 29 LX LE!

Well i have begun getting into the mid-fi audio for cb radios. Using a Behringer Xenyx 802 Pre-amp & 3 band EQ, Radio Shack Super-Cardioid Vocal Microphone with gooseneck & acoustic foam cover and a stock Cobra microphone modified to key the rig up on the edge of the table. DX Land seems to take a liking on my audio. This is a start for me and now I am looking for a processor to colorize the audio a little more. The Cobra 29 LX LE is reaching new levels here in central Maine. When DX rolls in normally you can catch me on channel 28...Bulldog-Unit 777, WWPDX 777 ~ 73 everyone!

All the rack gear you have wont sound that good unless your radio has been modded to pass wideband audio, not that hard, caps or direct feed will get you were you want to go

@414730 Very ture but the receive on everyones radios will still not get the full bandwith until they make the change. I now have a Magnum Raptor and Shure SM58 microphone with a Behringer 1002FX. Granted the radio will not pass the full bandwith, but what actually passes through sounds great.

BULLDOG, I AM THINKING ABOUT GOING WITH A DSP110 PROCESSOR WITH A SM58 MIC. WOULD THIS WORK WITH THE COBRA 142 GTL? I NEED THE INFORMATION ON HOW TO HOOK IT ALL UP.

@radio4044 You need to modify a stock microphone that is comfortable to key up. Tap into the audio & shield, solder a regular audio cable with a 1/4" mono phono plug. Plug that into a Y adaper with 1/4" plugs. Plug that into the main out on a mixer. I cut the hang up button on back of the mic and applied 3M acrylic double sided tape and placed in on the edge under the table top. SM58 plugs in a mic preamp. It is always good to monitor your actual signal for fine tuning of AUDIO. Take care, BD.

how you wire it u to your radio

[MsFanatgeRockstar]

a foot switch would have been better

@radio4044 Need to have one with a mic preamp.

@BLUZUMR: BULL DOG WHAT ABOUT OTHER TYPES OF MIXERS? SUCH 15 BAND HAS NORMAL XLR & 1/4 CONNECTIONS. HAVE YOU TRIED OTHER MIXERS? OR DO YOU KNOW OF ANYONE THAT HAS?

THANKS

@radio4044 I have purchased a Magnum Raptor, running a Shure SM58 mic and Behringer Xenyx 1002FX. Check out the video on my YouTube channel. Soon I will be making a video how to hook everything up, Bulldog.
