Human Ear Capabilities
I have been reading the most interesting thread on this subject. After 44 years of audio engineering including a big dose of psychoacoustic measurements, I have come to some conclusions. I thought it

Re: Human ear capabilities / cables ()
In reading some of the posts regarding the human hearing capabilities, I?ve had a few thoughts. When a note is played on a piano (or any instrument) you hear not only the frequency of the note you

Re: Digest Number 12
We live in such a noisy world it's a commonly held belief that we are safe at fairly high levels. That you have not worked in the even noisier environments does not mean you have not been exposed to

Re: Human ear capabilities / cables ()
I don't think so. I'm 32, and have not worked much in noisy environments nor been at many discos when younger. I can hear 18 KHz tones, not at faint levels, but not at insane levels either. However

Re: Human ear capabilities / cables ()
I can't, for sure. At "sane" listening levels, I can hear pure tones up to 18 KHz easily. At "insane" levels, I can hear up to 20 KHz pure tones. However, I can't hear a lowpass of 18.5 KHz on any

To believe that pure tone testing discloses the extent of human hearing is to believe that the ear/brain is limited to sinusoidal detection and discrimination. This has not been proven by any means.

Mic for my DV camcorder
I would like to make some binaural mics for my DV camcorder (Canon DV60) as an experiment. I am sure the thing doesn't supply power to the mic input jack, so I am assuming I'll need to use the battery

Re: Portable power
I am done using 12VDC to 110VAC power inverters for field audio recording. If at all possible stay at DC voltages. Some equipment built for wall-warts actually work fine on DC. I don't know a Digi 002
