A general "rule of thumb" is to have the typical "smiley face" when looking at a Graphic Equalizer and/or a Parametric Equalizer. You may have to modify some of the frequencies depending on your voice, mic and audio gear. Use top quality headphones and monitor your audio. Make sure you have line level in and line level out on all audio gear and use the W2IHY I-Box stepdown transformer. Most important when operating on SSB is to be clean, articulate and ZERO BEAT!  Contact me for an "on the air" QSO, recording and graphing of your audio and I will email you the before and after mp3 recordings and graphs of your audio.
