thanks for sharing. Have you found good cables, like those on jogging headphones, with super flexible silicon insulation?

@valordk

No, I have just used whatever I had to hand.

what do you use this evp recorder for?

[WSCLATER]

@MarkieBhoy17

Nothing very special. I sometimes like to record birdsong. I download and listen to radio programmes from the US.

I'm using 5 of these mics for an installation project for University. So they do need 'power' to work, and this is supplied by the recorder? Do i need to build a mini pre amp if they are going straight into a mixer and then a computer?

[WSCLATER]

These electret capsules need a small voltage for the internal FET transistor. This voltage is usually around 1.5 - 10V. The votage is usually supplied through a resistor of perhaps 1 - 4.7 Koms. You'll get diagrams on the internet. If the mixer has microphone inputs you will not need a preamp.

Hi - are there different versions of the Panasonic WM 61A? You mention directional and non directional - for the clip on mic and stereo mic respectively?

[cpcnw]

@cpcnw - ok, you answered first part on earlier reply - thanks :)

[cpcnw]

@WSCLATER - on the mikes in this vid how did you get power to the capsules? Are there button cells inside the tubes (@ 6mm I guess not?) OR does the Olympus supply that power? Also how did you align / fix the jack on the first mike?

Hi can you tell me from where you are buying the materials and do you know if I cam make a good quality mic for using with my DSLR video recording ?

Best

how much



[williamthomasmi10]

How well would you say these would be for loud, rock band music?

what could I do to make the mic's less sensitive and better for loud music? I have a very limited electrical knowledge, but I am extremely interested in all you do!
