I recently acquired the model 707 regal mic and was impressed first at how good it looks and was also very surprised at how good it sounds with my Orion II. I have received great audio reports time after time with this mic and at this price point you will be hard pressed to find a better mic.
-
I found that Regal 707 sounds very smooth with my voice which tends to be a bit bass heavy.
-
This mic is not designed to be “close talked” you will find it sound just right about 1 to 2 feet away from your mouth just set the mic gain for proper ALC and it will sound great. I does have some handling noise so a boom arm or desk stand with soft feet will isolate the mic from vibrations on your desk.

If you have been looking for a good mic for your shack you just cannot beat the Regal #707 for the money.

I purchased the Ten-Tec Regal 707 mic at the Orlando Hamcation this year.
The mic is mated to my Ten-Tec Orion I.
The following settings were arrived at by on-air testing with stations equiped to evaluate audio: TX Filter BW - 3150 Hz.
L.F. Rolloff - 250 Hz.
H/W Mic Gain - 10.0 db.
MIC Gain - 50.
Processor - 1.
My station is on the almost daily and to date, I have received nothing but glowing remarks considering the quality of the transmitted audio both within CONUS and abroad.
The mic is mounted on a Heil PL-2T boom and the appearance draws excellent comments.
Many thanks to Ten-Tec for providing a high quality product, at a reasonable price, that DOES WHAT IS ADVERTISED.

I purchased my Regal 707 microphone when it was first introduced by Ten Tec. It really looks fine next to my Blue screen Jupiter. The audio of this microphone, according to the the old goats that I ragchew with, sounds far and away better than several of the higher priced mics that I have used. (Heil PR-781 & others)
Except for the tendency of Regal Royal Blue foam screen to fade, detracting somewhat from it's outstanding good looks, I would rate the mic a full five, but I have to say it in no way diminishes the superior performance of the microphone.
The fine folks at TenTec have addressed this very minor cosmetic issue for me.....73, Lee, K4LJP

I have been a Ham for 34 years and no one has ever asked me what microphone I am using during a QSO until I got the Regal. Twice, today alone, I was asked and told it sounded so good! I have always used a preamp microphone in the past, but this dynamic mic works great. Not to mention it looks great too! Catch me on the air and judge for your self. 73 N4AAM

Only two issues keep this fine microphone from a five star rating. One is mechanical and the other is electric.
The pivot screw, made of plastic, often slips when adjusted after a period of moderate usage. Slightly annoying to fish for a correct sized coin. Must tighten it but never enough to strip threads.
The output of microphone is not quite enough gain; had to go into the menu of Jupiter and really crank it up. More headroom would be appreciated.
For my voice, this a great solution despite my nitpicking.

Nice looking microphone and a good price. It does have some micro phonic pickup from my amp when mounted to a solid boom. Adding acoustic isolation feet to the amp brought the 60 cycle rumble down to acceptable levels.
