DIY electret capsule
Hello to all. I am a new member, and have some thoughts. So far I've built some ribbon and LD tube mics. Last night, just out of curiosity I took apart electret capsule. It consist of diaphragm,

Re: failing ears: failing mics?
Hey all-- This reminded me of a question I meant to ask long ago: is the response/performance/accuracy of a mic/diaphragm affected by lots of use at high spl's over time, as the diaphragms in my ears

Re: WM-60/61 Final Input Please - cost
My final summary and input. If the desire is to win on a low cost design over the wm60. The universal request is lower noise not cost on a capsule. Because the low noise caps currently on the market

Re: WM-60/61 Final Input Please
I think 3 pin w/FET based on the WM-61A103 is the way to go. I really like the the 3 pin design because not only does it make the Linkwitz mod easier, but also common-source with a source resistance

Re: WM-60/61 Final Input Please - cost
There is some combing effect in a large diaphragm mic, but it is very small due to the fact that there is only one diaphragm. When sound pressure strikes the diaphragm, the entire diaphragm moves as

Yes PZM patents have expired sometime ago. Trademarks don't expire, so don't refer to something commercially as someone else's trademark. I see some pretty lame microphhone patents such as a patent on
