PresidentDIGIMIKE Microphone with Noise Reduction Circuit (NRC)

It's a very good microphone. It feels well in the hand it operates very well with the radio I have it plugged in with a real great asset, thank you, President Radio Electronics.

Much better than the original mic. Very clear response from other I get a radio check from. I did wind up setting it to #5 for the best result.

This mic is PERFECT. Why? The weight of it. The stock President mics let’s be honest feel cheap. They work, but they feel cheap. This mic completely changes the radio. No more compromises. No more “but at least the radio is nice.” It reminds me of my favorite mic in the world a Ranger which has a weight in it which makes it feel fantastic in the hand. Unfortunately they don’t last. The switch eventually wears out. Hopefully this one last longer because it’s my new favorite mic in the hand and it compliments my favorite CB the McKinley II. Bonus it sounds amazing, but I knew it would since it’s a President.Just ORDER it!

I bought one to review on my website and was surprised how much difference it makes in cancelling background noise, and yet, while NOT a power microphone the audio is crisp and loud. If you're familiar with DSP on a radio, it's like that - only for a microphone. I leave mine set to 1 to avoid the slightly watery sound that DSP can produce as it's increased. I've found that I receive excellent audio reports, and no one thus far has asked me to "turn up my audio" yet, so I think that between this, it's balanced weight, and how it feels in the hand, this microphone beats the crap that ASTATIC is selling today (don't get me wrong, up until the 90's they were a really good company - now bought out, and made cheaply using the ASTATIC name to lure in buyers (if Astatic was still the great company they used to be, we would have seen new and improved models over the last 20+ years ago). The Lime Green PTT switch was kinda ugly at first, but it surely makes the microphone easy to find amongst of nest of mics, due to it's color. I now own 3 of these hand mics - on my McKinley and 2 other President radios (I think it will work on 6-pin Unidens (another great name, now made cheaply) but I don't own one to see if it's true. The best you can do is to buy the mic and try it for a few days. Ask your buddies on the air how it sounds, and if you don't like it, return it before 10 days). P.S - On my President FCC I use the mic set to one for transmit audio, then use the circuit inside the President (same thing) to play around with my receive settings (sometimes having to go a little higher, depending on band conditions). A President radio matched with this mic is (IMHO) the perfect combination!

The McKinley radio does come with a good microphone out of box. But the Digimike microphone is more matched to the McKinley cb radio. The Digimike is larger in size and feels great in the hand. The noise reduction circuit is great to have and I have mine set at number three. I haven’t had any problems or complaints with this microphone and it should work with all President and Uniden 6 pin radios.

Love it. Works great with my president radio

Great sounding mic on my president George FCC. The seller also shipped it super fast.

President brags on their lightweight stock mics, and they sound good, but the ultra lightweight of the stocker is really disconcerting for me as I for decades have used noise cancelling power mics from Radio Shack, Road Devil, Cobra etc... The stocker does a reasonable but not great job of rejecting ambient noises and driving an old camper van with a straight six engine, I have LOTS of ambient noises to reject. I get good clean reports at highway speed people always seem to think I am either stationary in a mobile, or on a base station and are shocked that any mobile can sound this good at highway speed. I have this paired up with a President McKinley II FCC and the two of them combined make one heck of a great CB radio setup!
