Actually, SSB is a narrow band communication mode and never was intended to "sound good". Hence the existence of good sounding AM remains. Regardless of it being deemed by some to be an outdated mode.

Take any portion of the audio spectrum, chop it to a 2.4KHz bandwidth and one has "telephone quality" designed for effective communication.

Remember folks , we are SUPPOSED to sound like ducks on SSB, if we want
fidelity, use FM.. My thought is a good , easy to listen to signal, that is intelligible beats the heck out of an over modulated phony bass enhanced signal that sounds like you have the microphone in the bottom of a 3 pound coffee can.


I try to put out a good sounding signal, ( Orion / TT studio one ) and I use
an hm 10 on the 746, and an mc-80 on the ts2000, but a good signal is ok,
please don't over process it to death .  We all have a distinct voice, and
natural in nice..not too much processor, not too much microphone gain.. just
tickle the ALC..

Just my opinion , YMMV  tom N6AJR

the only sure fire way to figure out what a mic/rig is doing on-air is to

You can judge your audio much better if you're  not talking while you're
listening.  That's why it should be recorded  either by you or by another
station and then played back.
