Re: accordion mic

Thanks thet --

You don't say if it is a piano accordion or B/C system or some other type, but reed layouts may vary, so consider the reed layout.

It's a piano accordion, so the reeds are linearly arranged. Doing some tests (with a single Primo omni Simplest P48 inside the right-hand side) I do hear a strong difference for the reeds near the mic, as expected.

I would think two mics on the keyboard and one or two on the bass would be sufficient.

Glad to hear that this and Jerry's experience accord with each other.

There are better circuits than P48 that aren't really much more effort if you are going to the trouble of installing multiple mics in an accordion.

Interesting... what did you have in mind? I have made so many S-P48's and they've been great, and given how simple and effective they are, and that I don't need low noise performance in this application, Simplest P48 seemed the natural choice?

If you draw the circuit you intend we can comment better on the mixing - seems to me in a mixer each capsule needs its own resistor into the summing amp, just shorting together the capsule fet outputs seems wrong to me.

Yeah the plan was to literally parallel multiple capsules on a standard P48 circuit, so, .

IIRC it has been discussed a couple times here that this works (and gives a little less noise) so it seemed like the easy way to deal with mixing the signals from the capsules without having to engineer some kind of active mixer as well... but I have no idea if there are subtle consequences, so let me know if I'm missing something.
