Re: Budget self-made condenser capsule (PCB based backplate!)
Taking on board what has been said about the backplate mass, I've built another capsule with a double PCB backplate. I also played around with another shape: a bowed-in square.
Thanks to having two

Re: Microphone w/ built in compression? ¡°Lamplifier¡±
Hi,
I am sorry, maybe I do not understand an idea but, I found something what
may replace lamps: Vishay VO1263.
Here is a link to the Mr Scott Wurcer article (diyaudio Forum): "*My

Re: Alice
The circuit itself pretty much already existed, as the "phantom power for Radio Shack PZM" design. Very much a stripped-down Shoeps, for electret capsules.? The "Alice" really started when we got

Re: Alice
Here is the History: (And I am Sure Scott will correct me if I miss
something)
Scott hand built mics with this name and a simplified circuit. He named it
this because he took photos of it initially

Re: Alice
I will try my best to explain, but Scott, Jules, and Homero can probably
answer this better than I can. The "Alice" mic was, as I understand it a
minimal parts take on the classic SCHOEPS design.

Alice
I think the name Alice (in microphones) was created by Scott Helmke. If I remember correctly, it was based on 16mm capsule and a FET circuit.
Now I see "Alice" all over in the mic DIY communities.?

Re: Pat's Mic (Fetzer Valve Mic)
Why do you need RD1 and RD2, wouldn't be one RD enough? Same for RS.
Would we need a HexInverter or something else for the polarisation Voltage?
With the OPA and the Fet and T1 could there be a

Re: Microphone w/ built in compression? ¡°Lamplifier¡±
Such a strange combination of uC, ASP/DSP and outdated tech. Seems ludicrous to me. I believe the absence of commercial success attests it.
It will probably go in the gallery of irrealistic inventions

Homero,
That's a really cool project and a nice tribute to Pat.
Would love to hear a comparison to a regular mic.
Thanks,

Re: Budget self-made condenser capsule (PCB based backplate!)
Here's the results of a triangle shaped capsule, inspired by Ehrlund.
I've shaved off a lot of the parasitic capacitance and the output is definitely higher. It's still sounding pretty narrowband

transformer emulation?
following Homero's Fetzervalve thread, I'm wondering, is it reasonable to
dream about emulating the coloration of a transformer on the output of a
transformerless mic?
Please take this from a studio
