Rob, it seems to me that perhaps some of what your hearing is a result of the phase inaccuracy inherent in cardioid mics (I believe bob cain suggested this...
... Thanks for the suggestions, Jason. A few folks do use B&K's in the field, I've wanted to hear how they sound with the gain cranked up for years. Maybe...
... And thus an explanation of why a biamp'd speaker system allows the (non sub) woofer to portray significantly greater clarity in the mystery range? That is...
I recently came to the conclusion that one cool way of securing a mic to a ferric surface (car, truck, motorbike) is by using a magnet. However, what kind of...
In theory, no problem at all. The cases are usually aluminum, and the diaphragm would most likely be non-ferrous. So of course the next thing would be to try...
Since I'm going to be putting my TSB-165A mics in semi-dangerous positions I was wondering if there would be any caveats with putting the whole FET preamp...
How about some silicone goop? I can't image there being a big heat issue with the capsule FET, though you do want to worry a bit about having as short a...

Interesting: we don't have RadioShack in Canada anymore. It's now Circuit City's "The Source": http://www.radioshack.ca/ http://www.thesourcecc.com/ Looks like...
I am still trying to get my obsolete mics working right and senn does not support them. Short history. these are rf mics that use a 8 mhz crystal oscillator. I...
Intriguing... difference tones from variations in oscillation frequency between units, maybe? You'd either need to get the oscillators tuned to be the same...
There can be multiple tones so I was thinking RF intermod not the difference in frequency. But thanks, shielding the body to 90% is easy and I will try that ...
OK, I took a plastic pvc tube and put aluminum duct tape on the outside and placed it over the mic. No difference grounded, unshielded or even with bias...
Doesn't really work. Just moves the tones around. There may not be a solution. Makes a great mic into an average mic. Loudest tone is -72 db and the floor at...
Hello, Please have a look at http://www.mayhewco.com/elec-wire.pdf I have my capsules wired as on the left. When trying out the hookup as displayed on the...
Typically better SPL performance, lower distortion. -Scott ... -- ... And you'll visualize not taking any chances But meet them halfway with love, peace, and...
I was wondering what the difference is between the two TSB-165A circuits on this page using the 2N4416A FET: http://mp3forkidz.com/mic/tsb-165a.html TIA Steve...
In the department of "somebody is always paying attention". I got this response from Senn today. Really nice of them to respond regarding this old equipment. ...
Does anyone have the schematic for the guts of this mic? I have the pinout, but no schematic. Has anyone tried to hook up a transformer for balanced outs? I...
Hmmmm... so maybe a tiny little capacitor on each one might damp the ultrasonics. Rich, I'm curious how you had these arranged - were the diaphragms close ...
I have the schematic. I question if I can post it because of copyright issues but I could send you a cc of a e-mail I received of it. e-mail me a request for...
I have already tried caps across b+ to ground and a 1 uf in line. It helped but not enough. I also have tried using 4 different supplies. Pictures at: ...
I asked Dave about that a while back - the slightly more complicated version does a better job of biasing the FET, so it can handle higher SPL. The version...
Thanks Scott. Do you think Alice might benefit by having that resistor network, or the 1 meg trimpot, wired in? If so, how would the pot be calibrated? Steve ...
