... My two cents. This may or may not help. I'll preface this with "I don't know what is normal practice in the mic world" but generally you want a load about...
i designed something similar a few years ago based off of the INA103 instrumentation amp, it is the same one that grace used in the V2 portable preamp...the...
Hi! Working with tranformers, it is necessary to match impedance. Many years ago, Mr. Holt of Stereophile tested a Sony mixer with transformer I/P and...
What is "EMT" ? I built one using a fiberglass painter pole. It is light and can reach 18 feet!! I don't need that lenght, but I sure appreciate the height!...
EMT is "Electrical Metallic Tubing" -- a thin-walled steel pipe used as electical conduit. As for the shock mounting, I have made a shock mount out of some 3"...
hello, I have found that bamboo is great for this job. It is not light weight but resonnance frequency is low and it is easy to have a good damping (low...
"Red Green solution" i love that show LOL: )~ On Jun 2, 2009, at 7:10 AM, Luc Belanger wrote: Gaffer tape (duct tape) :) Lotsav'it A true "Red Green solution"...
Well if you are going for the Red Green effect, you could use a nice wad of foam between the gaffer tape and the mic. I don't know if it will make a difference...
Just for fun, here is a recording I made on 6-1-2009. Two unmodified Oktava MK/MC-012 microphones with 10 dB pads installed. PreUmp-1 battery powered...
Nady serivce did respond to my inquiry but chose not to give any information. I do not blame them. Looking inside the microphone body with the electronics PCB...
I see reports of them being noisy, others say the response varies, etc. Of course they're cheap, but how do I tackle the variation and the noise? How much of...
All microphone capsules vary in performance from sample to sample. Inexpensive capsules vary more than expensive ones. Perhaps someone with real practical...
I can't speak for the TSB-120 capsule, but I've found that the TSB-140 and TSB-165 capsules I've used have been *very* consistent in quality. -Scott ... -- ......
... OK, so de sweeps and compare, right? How large would the sample have to be to find a nice pair? Or two? Scott writes that the (other) capsules are pretty...
... Thanks for posting. This would be an interesting statement to compare the TSB-120's against. BTW: What about using two 120's back to back for crowdnoise...
... I think that the question that needs to be answered is: How close do you need them to be? For stereo recording one would like them to be well matched....
What sort of basic amplification circuit (or even a not so basic one) would be necessary to use a TSB-120A1? Is it just like any other electret mic? ... ...
Hello, ... A raw, well set-up recording should sound quite listenable with minor flaws that aren't to big and correctable in postproduction. (levels, eq,...
you can simply match a pair of the capsules for freq resp. make a test jig and use interstation hydrogen noise as a source unless you have a PNG. find one of...

New to the forum, but have followed your research on the internet for ages. I build mics for wildlife recording - can't afford to buy them! So have used the...
Why do you think you need to increase the size of the 2k2 resistor? It works pretty well as is. I would try it first. I use a pair for concert recordings...
... Chris Church of Church-Audio uses modified TS-120. According to him the standard setup has a distortion of 8% at 114db at 1kHz at 9 volts. 4.7k and 9 volts...
... That is one of the reasons. So I am inquiring to find out what SMD-size might fit in there (as large as possible) or if I could move the 4K7 to the...
... Well, the caps arrived, so the SMD-size question is even more urgent now. BTW: WHat is the thread inside the capsule rim? Also: The capsules look smaller...
... This is very suspicious; especially the bit about 10dB reduction in output. Doesn't tally with data for the Sanyo FET in most Transound caps. Do you have...
