Hi, Thank you :) - A recent post covered the modification of the Edirol CS-15 which I modified to an MS mic - the result wasnt brilliant due to the method used...
Hi, Throwing open a discussion here which is probably a bag of worms, but are there any electret capsules with a self noise around 16 dB or less? Best Ive seen...
... Hi Mike. Small diameter for head mounting, none I know of. The variants of the EM-23 that Scott and others on this list have made and the electret capsule...
John, James, here's my take on the kit: The microphone preamp is pretty rudimentary and the downstream electronics can be substituted with post software MS...
Hey all, My DS-30's gain even on the lowest setting (dict) is always too loud for my needs. I built it a foam windscreen and it's still not quite enough...
Michael Can you suggest some better designs than the Paia kit. I have built alot of kits in the past, but am not a designer also [Non-text portions of this...
I can't point to a complete debugged schematic, but conceptually: The microphone preamp can be built around any low noise amplifier. An interesting device with...
... Hi Richard-- Klas Strandberg's FET solution to operating the Primo EM-23 capsule on the very low PIP voltage of Hi-MD (and other) consumer recorders. Klas...
Hi Joe, It has been reported that a simple in-line headphone attenuator also works as a mic. attenuator (with PIP). I can't verify this but it sounds plausible...
Thanks for the reply Michael! I considered using one of those myself, but wanted something smaller that allows the mic to stay attached to the top of the...
Joe, it'd be tricky to recommend values for a resistive pad without knowing the associated circuitry in the mic and preamp especially when you're relying on...

Hi - I recently built a mic using a TSB-2555 with a 2n4416 j-fet.This is my 1st DIY mic & the output is extremely low. I've gone thru it a couple & can't get...
That works. You should be seeing more like 10 vdc in the "power supply" section - at the + of the 10uF electrolytic, etc. Basically you're not getting any ...
A reasonable assumption. Make sure you don't have a zener or electrolytic in backwards, and look for other possible shorts. You should be seeing a healthy...
... Hi Joe-- When I scanned through the DS-30's owner manual a while back, I don't think I came across any mention of manual gain for this recorder. I think it...
I checked all the diodes & electrolytes - everything fine. I have 30vdc right before the 6.8k resistor and then it drops off to 0.74vdc right after the...
In that case just start removing stuff after the 6.8K resistor until the voltage pops back up. Maybe it's a shorted capacitor. -Scott ... -- ... And you'll...
Here is my annual attempt at a binaural fireworks recording. Headphone listening is recommended for the best effect. Be careful with that volume level! MP3...
