Re: Strange Simple P48 readings with new EM272 caps
Thanks Jerry,
I just assumed [I know it makes an ass of you and me] that as the specs
were supposedly the same for the 172, that the 272 would be a straight swap
in the circuit.
I've just tested with

Re: Strange Simple P48 readings with new EM272 caps
With 0.19V across the capsules, they operate far from their expected op point. Then it's not unusual to see degradation of performance.
You must first find why the voltage is incorrect.

Thanks, I remember reading that review a while ago, it rings a bell, but I checked it again just in case. And plugging headphones directly doesn't seem to have any noise, but I think it's just because

Picking back up with the Primo capsules. I managed to lose one of the EM172
in a gap in the loft floor, so bought some EM272s.
Today I wired them up but there was a weird discrepancy of about

The driver is mentioned in the 3rd paragraph of your link:

Thanks Scott. One of the tests I did was connecting my charger, but it made the problem a bit worse, which I also didn't understand, as the charger would be grounding the laptop, but I'll try directly

If that were my mic, I would take it apart, look for damaged or poor connections, especially connections to the case, and maybe for power rail electrolytic capacitors that could have failed. But I've

Re: ATR2500-USB

In general, USB mics do not hum, because the connection is digital. However, it may be that there is a floating ground connection.
First, I would try another USB cable, then test the mic with another

It does sound very much like a *lack of* grounding issue. Laptop power supplies tend to be a bit dodgy with regard to grounding in the first place, but with nothing connected you have no ground at

Re: Another DIY AOM5024 with SimpleP48 experiment
The SimpleP48 while excellent in most other aspects, is very dependent on having absolutely clean phantom power if you need it to be hum free. Most mixers have some ripple on the phantom supply.

Re: How can add 80Hz LF to SimpleP48 circuit?
As Jerry has advised, reducing the capacitor reduces some of the deep bass. In some of my adaptors I've made that capacitance switchable so that I can drop some bass when it's excessive or
