If its loud thn turn down the input trim perhaps?
Until you get rid of the booming it will be hard to make any other qualitative judgement. Clarity is usually adjustable with eq around 2k (if you have mid controls) whilst you can sharpen the sound with top end eq. However overdo it and you can easily end up in feedbacksville.
Sorry to suggest expenditure but you may find a compressor limiter helps to get around the fact that you can no longer use "tranditional" microphone handling techniques to smooth out the relative level changes s your voice moves through its register (unless your name is Pavarotti, of course). I'm using a budget Behringer AutoCom unit which seems fine.
Tweeters: If by "bullet" you mean "piezo" then ditch them now anyway. When pushed they always "squawk". If you want to stick with piezo I find the newer "powerline" motorola horn units much less harsh.
Bullet versus Horn: Bullets "fire" the sound in a cone about 90 degrees across and are therefore used to throw the sound to the back. Horns spread the sound more (120 deg wide by 60 vertical) and so dont get to the back quite so well but are much more acceptable at close range. If you can only have one or the other then fit horns.
Hope this helps!
Thanks a lot. That has helped. BTW could you suggest some good entry level compressors so that I cud also check on the internet.
Thanx a million
