Re: Dismantling LDC to use capsules as ORTF in a blimp
@pmfalcman, thanks so much, that's really helpful. I'll take a proper look at the photos.

Re: Dismantling LDC to use capsules as ORTF in a blimp
Headbaskets are intentionally moved to the front (not centered width wise) to minimise sound reflections from the top of the body. It would be advisable to 3D print own capsule mounts from

Re: Dismantling LDC to use capsules as ORTF in a blimp
I made rough drafts (xlr connectors and "headbaskets" are to scale), top and side view, to facilitate imaging. Still the PCB dimentions are

Re: Dismantling LDC to use capsules as ORTF in a blimp
I'd love to. Unfortunately I don't have it yet. Not even in loose parts. I said this before - it's an idea at the moment and at first I plan to make two separate mics in these small enclosures from

Re: Dismantling LDC to use capsules as ORTF in a blimp
@pmfalcman thanks again. Hope it's not asking too much, would you be happy sharing photos of the full rig? It would be very helpful. Damian

Re: Alctron MA-1 Schematic question
Goran, Thanks, but I have the stock MH-31 mic that came with the radio. I am just not impressed with the voice quality it produces. Since ham radio is very much about experimentation, this is another

Re: Alctron MA-1 Schematic question
James, Many thanks! You have address virtually all of my concerns. :) I bought the SM58 because it was recommended in order to improve sound quality. The MH-31 mic that came with the radio is ok, but
Re: Dismantling LDC to use capsules as ORTF in a blimp
I'm not sure mine's better solution but I want a self contained unit. A "brick", well... sort of. A sturdy piece of gear. And it's easier to fashion up some extra wind protection if need be. Couple

Re: Dismantling LDC to use capsules as ORTF in a blimp
@pmfalcman - thanks so much, the photos area really useful. I might have to rethink my original idea. I'm not even sure how large the PCBs are. There's nothing to lose really, the mics were heavily

I sorted the issues with acces to the linked photos. I hope... Just in case, properly shared
Re: Dismantling LDC to use capsules as ORTF in a blimp
As I like ORTF a lot I was cunningly planning to make myself a handy, self-contained unit, mostly for the reasons you stated above. I came upon Magnusson's and DIY Perks' solutions long time ago but

Re: Dismantling LDC to use capsules as ORTF in a blimp
@Kennjava good suggestions thanks. @Heinz, thank you. His approach is interesting.? Didn't realise the photos had detailed captions. I think overall I'll be fine if I take my time. The mics were

I forgot to mention that if you scroll through the photos of the album and click once on the little "i" (information) circle in the top right corner of the screen, you will get useful descriptions for

Hi Damian Magnus Bergsson shared a photo album about his NT1a approach. You'll find it here: Rode NT1a modified for nature recording (

Re: Dismantling LDC to use capsules as ORTF in a blimp
With mic capsules that size... for wind protection? you're going to end up housing them in a standard zeppelin, sideways. That's hardly discreet ;-) Anyway, I don't think there's much

Re: Dismantling LDC to use capsules as ORTF in a blimp
@Cram, thanks for the links. The rig you're making looks cool. I hadn't thought about being limited with the capsules in a blimp, I guess I just assumed I could manage an ORTF arrangement. The mics

I hear you. I¡¯ve got a few omnis (em272 and aom5024) in various configurations, but I¡¯ve been wanting to play with some cardioids also for ambience and nature sounds etc. The self noise specs of

Re: Dismantling LDC to use capsules as ORTF in a blimp
@Cram, I'm dismantling them to make the whole thing a bit more portable. I like the idea of something I can set up fairly quickly- then it will get used and my laziness or procrastination won't put a

Re: Dismantling LDC to use capsules as ORTF in a blimp
I¡¯ve just sourced a pair of old nt1a¡¯s to run in a stereo field rig also, but I¡¯m making individual blimps for them. If you¡¯re going to be using the f3, is there a need to dismantle the mics?

Dismantling LDC to use capsules as ORTF in a blimp
Hi all. I spotted an old youtube video recently, where the guy dismantles a pair of Rode NT1a to capsule and pcb, and fits them in a blimp, and I'd like to do something similar. I have a pair of LDC
