Lately, I have involved heavily in to tailor my transmit audio to the best possible.  I love to hear best sounding stations on air and try to provide the same to other receive stations by making best possible audio modulation from my station. It is not ESSB, I have not modified any of my ham gears, only employed some outboard audio gears to tailor the input audio. I do not consider my signal as ESSB at all so do not mistake it for ESSB.

Here is my Audio setup:

Microphone: RODE procaster, very good microphone for the vocal, has good dynamic range;

Audio processor: APHEX Channel,The Channel is equipped with six built-in processors. IT has Aural Exciter, for dialing in additional presence and clarity to the signal; Big Bottom, which provides deeper and more resonant bass; the EasyRider Class A compressor, featuring automatic adjustment of attack and release parameters based on the characteristics of the input signal; and the Logic Assisted Gate, which helps eliminate false triggers, clicks, and chattering. In addition, there's a fully parametric EQ band for adjusting the midrange frequencies between Big Bottom and the Aural Exciter, and a de-esser.

W2IHY 8 band Equializer:  It provides 8 band (50,100/ 200, 400, 800, 1600, 2400, 3200 Hz) of equalization, adjustable to +/- 16 dB and very effective Noice Gate to reduce ambient noise.
