Re: Budget self-made condenser capsule (PCB based backplate!)
Fig-8.doc in my FILES directory describes a Fig-8 capsule I designed some 40+ yrs ago for Calrec.? It has sources for 5 & 10 um Aluminised Mylar and other useful info.

where do you get this sheet?
I bet not all space blankets are the same and this thin.

Re: Budget self-made condenser capsule (PCB based backplate!)
I have small confession to make...
The space blanket I've been using is not 20?m thick as originally assumed. It is actually just 6?m thick! I got hold of a proper micrometer today and was able to

Re: Microphone w/ built in compression? ¡°Lamplifier¡±
Yes, OT but related, Heathkit once produced a mod to the "Two-er" (and "CB1", "Ten-er" and "Six-er") which uses a Wheatstone bridge composed of two #47 bulbs and two 4.7Ohm resistors to yield a

I believe the only thing this circuit has in common with the subject discussed here is that they both are related to electronics.

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: 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
