[50sRat]

can u plez message me the links that were in the vid?

[timothywaldvogel]

Is there a way to Mae thus with a large diaphragm ?

[gigabrid]

Why using battery to power your mic, where as you can get it from your mixer(phantom power).

[wbwillie]

@gigabrid not all mixers have phantom power, so the battery can be pretty important

[gigabrid]

Can we here some sample sound clip of this mic you are designing? I am designing condenser mics also, I like most is panthom powered. Hope you gonna show us some of these.tnx for sharing.

[squaredeyeball]

I think he recorded this vid with one of those mics he is building.

[gigabrid]

Thanks, i didn't notice...

[evensteve284]

Ive tried to get to your web site and I keep getting a message that says its forbidden! I wish the camera had shown some more close up shots. Thank you for posting this though.

[Zeerro]

I was a student Of his and I used those mics that he built, and The Responses where Decent I was surprised once we recorded with them

[ballooneater]

Electrolytic caps shouldn't have much of an effect on the sound. If one were to get a mylar cap, they'd run the risk of inadvertently making a highpass filter by picking too small of a value. There is less of a risk with electrolytics because their values usually run well above 1uF.

can u make me one ii willl pay u $40

[simile1553]

[MadSineTist]

Awesome, Thx for posting this!

[FLCProductions]

cool project but i would just buy a 30 doller microphone

[eggman6]

which wouldn't sound as good

[FLCProductions]

not nesisarely

[eggman6]

I doubt a $30 mic will use the best elements or components.

I cant say how panasonic elements compare to low priced condenser mics, but they beat an sm57, as far as producing a natural tone is concerned, much more open sounding and with better bass ( i know they are different types of mic, but considering this will be alot cheaper). SM57 migth be better for vocals i dont know, probably depends on the voice of the singer. So if a $30 condenser mic, comapres to a SM57 then you make a valid point.

[nick5105]

wow, you just proved how much you dont know...

[eggman6]

You dont have to be cuntish. If you have a point to make kick the knowledge my way. I base what i say on what i've experienced/can back up, and if someone knows something i dont, then wouldn't it be nice to share?

[kwcreed]

comparing any condenser to a 57 is like comparing apples to hammers.

[eggman6]

No its not, be it dynamic or condenser they are still microphones, they still do the same thing. I'd like to see someone tell me what microhpones were used for a recording just by listening to the track. Everything before the mic varies so much it makes it virtually impossible. If the difference was so apples and hammers as you put it people would have no trouble.

[PuppyTN]

I am a recording engineer, and you were right when you said that the microphone best for a vocal depends on the voice of the singer. Though some condensers sound better on some singers, Bono records all his vocals through a Shure SM7, which is a glorified 57. Saying that comparing condensers to 57s is apples to hammers is incorrect. The 57 is probably the most commonly used microphone in the world, and not just for snare drums and gtr cabs. And it's won a shootout or two on a vocal session..!

[stevieSUPERSXYlol]

Hey,

This is so cool!

Would you mind sending me the list and the link? Thanks!!

great vid

[redtail5]

shrink wraped not shrunk wraped you dont put past tense on both words

[eltabby]

who gives a fuck about gramar?

[aufai11]

what would you suggest when it comes to mounting these since they're so small?

[CreativitytoSpare]

The best thing is to use a couple of spring clips. The type that will hold just about any stick style dynamic (SM-57) or such. The spring will close down small enough to hold one of these. That's what I use for overheads on a drum set.

[sk8ingonfire]

gr8 stuff

[joel9g]

So when buying a microphone from a retailer we are actualy just paying for the casing shell. How good quality is the microphone you have made ? And could yoi send me a product list and that link, Thanks !
