The current setup for me with ESSB or HiFi audio 3.5 to 4K most time, with exception of 3630 early mornings then 6-8K great ESSB group there for years!
Is using an X-Air XR12 into a DSP2024P the Mic is a Blue (Ember small diaphragm condenser) this in turn routes to a DI box (converting balanced to unbalanced) then into Mic2 on the rig- I really wish the EESDR rigs had a balanced input!
Currently I do not use any internal settings within the EESDR software
This combo has produced some nice audio
