First Choice for the Johnson Valiant
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
This my first choice microphone for the EF Johnson Valiant transmitter. Of course it works well in many other applications but the Valiant seems to work quite well with the 630 . Works well where the traditional D-104 often find itself "loaded down" impedance-wise .
Since switching from the D-104 on the Valiant I have been getting a lot of complimentary feedback.

clean & natural sound
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
I use my EV 630 microphone with my Elecraft K2 transceiver and the audio reports I get are very positive. "Clean & natural sound" is the report I often get. Its a 50 ohm microphone so I connected it to the K2 via a 50 to 600 ohm mike impedence transformer. The audio output is more than adequate.
I originally purchased the EV 630 in Eastern Canada in 1958 for record hops and broadcasting. It took a rough beating with absolutely no problems, and still looks good (for a 46 year old microphone).
Later I used the microphone for many years attached to my tape recorder, so the EV 630 is now going through its third phase of life.

Superb Microphone
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months

Superb microphone !! Excellent frequency response and audio level. I am using connected on W2IHY 8 Band Equalizer or Behringer components (MIC-2200+DSP-1100P+MDX-2200) with outstanding performance. My ICOM IC-756PRO is a really broadcasting when I am using the 630. I recommend this mic.

Great mike for SSB
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months
|
This microphone is recommended for radio communications, sound reinforcement, etc. I tried it for the first time a few months ago and got outstanding reports from hams that know my voice. It provides a smooth natural audio even with modern DSP rigs such as IC-756Pro, FT-1000MP Mark V, etc.
Its "retro" design gives also a charming contrast when using with modern rigs. Great product that lasts forever. I am lucky guy because I own two, one 630 and a miltary version model M-44A/U in mint condition.
