W2ENY HiFi MIC ELEMENT
My custom design fits Yaesu MD-200 Additional Position
 
I've been experimenting with MANY headsets over the last years, I had previously used a Heil headset til now.  This element far exceeds mic specs for optimum use with todays radio technology.
 
I originally designed the application as a direct solder in replacement that brought Hi-Fi audio and new life to my old D-104 and I now have it for the MD-200 "B position" in a shock mount version. 
 
It's a 15 minute job to add in and it works great!! 

Features great sound with full range audio.
50 Hz - 16 kHz wide range FLAT Response - Natural Sound
 
Finally, a great alternative to the HC-Contest Sound element offered by celebrity hams!
 
This listing is for the "W2ENY HIFI MD-200 Element B" kit with full instructions and does not come with the MD-200 shown in the pic.

This is a wide range electret element that is powered by and works with Yaesu radios having the 8 pin mic connector that has voltage - 450, 817, 847, 857, 897, 920, 950, 2000, 2000D, 1000MP, 1000MP Mk V, Field, FTDX1200, FTDX3000, FTDX5000, FTDX9000...  THIS WILL NOT WORK ON THE FT-757, 840, 990, FT1000 or FT1000D radios as there's no voltage on pin 2 of the radio mike connector.

Thanks for looking

Briefly, this is how it's done:

  • Disassemble the lower unit and add a jumper
  • Remove the top (mic), mount new element and solder
  • Reassemble all

Installation instruction comes complete with pictures
