Extended Single Side Band (ESSB)

[Va3KGS]

Searching for info.

I'm a Amateur Radio Operator (HAM), and wanting to use Studio equipment for my station. The term used is ESSB, for Extended Single Side Band.
See ESSB Extended Single Sideband for a nice description of what we do.

I have the following equipment. GLX3000 mic, Event EMP-1 preamp, ART 341 EQ. One of the major issues I have is to ultimately remove spurious radio frequency energy (RF Noise) from entering my audio equipment. I ended up on this forum because I am trying to find a schematic for my microphone, so that I can determine where to put filter caps into the circuit, to cut the RF from entering into the system. I have installed many ferrite chokes around my station, and grounded everything to a common point but still the open mic is picking up enough RF that it is heard on my broadcasts. I have a very sensitive RF Probe I am using to sniff out problem areas, and the Mic is one of them.

If anyone can help me here that would be appreciated. I also am enjoying the read on mods around this GLX3000Mic and am wondering if these modes are worth the trouble or not.

Thanks all for your suggestions/help in advance.

Kevin

One thing you can try is to take your GXL3000 apart and sand off areas of the body, head basket, and other metal parts where pieces connect so they have better ground connection. Also screw the parts together tightly.
When you have the mic apart be careful not to touch the diaphragm or let dirt/dust get on it.

Thanks for that tip. And it is easy enough to do. I will watch that the "dust" does not get near the diaphragm.
