You don't want to use thin solder wire as you will spend unnecessary time pushing it into the joint, adding extra heat. I usually use 0.6mm to 0.8mm rosin core. The Pinecil64 soldering iron has served

I can second your recommendations, but I'm just wondering why you use IPA. Can you explain? It does not remove oxides, only organic contaminations. Flux would remove oxides and improve wetability, but

The Thomann RB100 is a phenomenal mic - for upgrading with a 1.2um ribbon. I have mounted two together as a Blumlein stereo pair and the results are superb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eafgdu5DINs

What I've been using for the last 30 years for binaural recordings is small electret capsules in a PIP configuration (first with the Walkman Pro, then on DAT, then on MiniDisc, and now with the

I want to add here that a little practice and being quick when you solder to the capsule and you will be fine. I have not damaged on and have soldered multiple capsules. Do clean the pads with a bit

If you really want to remove heat then cover the mic holes with a little sticker and put some water between it and the heatsink. _______________________________________ Gee ... um ... I would not

If you really want to remove heat then cover the mic holes with a little sticker and put some water between it and the heatsink. I suppose thermal pads would work just as well if they fit well in the

Thanks guys. I don’t think I’m up to this type of project (make my own). But the lavalier-style, stealth setup is appealing. For my part, I will mostly be recording in bars or small venues that

This is a good setup. My $0.02 is that these recorders often have much better performance on their XLR inputs than the 3.5mm PIP jack.? You can build the *SimpleP48* circuit into the male XLR plug to

The main use for these electrets is for PIP power with Vds at 3V or less ... so they are specified to give ' some performance ' at those low voltages. But they invariably give much better performance

David, do you have any recommendations for a ribbon mic build? I have done 1 ribbon kit and 1 from scratch save for the body. Best Regards, Dude

Nick Roast: I'm told that the EM258 is also out of production. Here's an except from an email from someone at Primo when I was asking about bulk orders last year: Though of course there may be enough

Hello, Eric. This is VERY informative for a newbie like myself. Yes, I do want to record good bass, something that those cheap pencil mics I used definitely lacked. Your comment about the omni

I have no experience with those particular microphones. But there is a general problem with the low-frequency response of cardioid microphones. Theytend to have a free-field response that begins to

I use a Sanyo Xacti ICR-XPS01M but these are as rare as hens' teeth and have also used a Tascam DR40 both to great effect. Separate mics need mic stands and setting up, which isn't particularly

The hole also means the diaphragm can stay cooler than the rest of the capsule, in case the metal jig gets warm

Dow, et. al. Thanks very much for your suggestion, I find it very interesting. I think what I got from your suggestion is perhaps I should consider two different mics instead of two of the same mics.

Thanks -- but in the jig he posted it looks like you set the capsules in the slots and then put the enclosing piece in place, i.e. you're not pushing them into the hole? Maybe just to make it easier

So the diaphragm isn’t pressured when you insert the capsule into the hole

Thanks! Why do the jigs always have smaller holes through the bottom? I could see it making sense in a blind hole situation so the part would slide in and out without air compression/rarefaction, but
