Re: Microphone Output Impedance
Discussing how to load a mic output to measure the -6dB point to determine output impedance...
The difficulty is that there are several (at least three) types of microphone outputs to be aware

Re: Microphone Output Impedance
Thank you, Jerry.
I have one question:
When connecting the load resistor here, should it be connected between Pin 2 and Pin 3 of the XLR?
Or should two resistors be connected separately, one between

Re: Microphone Output Impedance
I believe Jules mad esome kind of mental typo.
I maintain this.
In all cases, yes.
There are several ways.
The best is using an impedance analyzer, but I doubt you have one handy, so you can resort

Re: Microphone Output Impedance
hello Jerry,
thanks to your reply.
There seems to be a difference between Jules' response and yours.
Could you explain it in a way that is easier to understand?
Jules explained that the impedance is

Re: Microphone Output Impedance
I hate to say this, but te dpa site's technical readings are sometimes inaccurate or simply confusing. I know that they are redacted by junior engineers who are not very scientifically exact.

Re: Microphone Output Impedance
Not really. Symmetrical impedance is not a concept.
A connection? (input or output) can be symmetrical. An impedance is a ratio between voltage and current. It does pot pertain to the type of

Re: Microphone Output Impedance
Balanced is the term. Symmetrical usually refers to multiphase power systems ?

Re: Microphone Output Impedance
Here is what you asked.
- "Output Impedance" refers to the impedance between Pin 2 and ground on
the microphone.
- "symmetrical Impedance" refers to the impedance between Pin 2 and Pin

Microphone Output Impedance
Hello, everyone.
I am someone who has been receiving a lot of help from this community.
Recently, I have been studying microphone output impedance.
I noticed that there are various terms commonly

Re: Alternatives to Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors
By "polarization", do you mean the fact that electrolytic capacitors are not bi-directional, or that they need to see a DC voltag eacross them?
There are "bipolar" electrolytic capacitors. they are

Re: Alternatives to Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors
I have been using 22uF and 47uF MLCC capacitors for coupling caps with no
issues. The impedance is far lower than Aluminum electrolytics. There is
one catch -- the Capacitance goes down significantly

Alternatives to Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors
Hi all,
I've been using polarised aluminium electrolytic caps in my designs as per the advice of members here and also how they are used in schematics like the Alice, etc.
This has been going great,

Re: Rode NT1-A requires 3 minutes warm-up time
I would like to give a final update on this (marathon) thread.
Even if the NT1-a isn't turned on for a while, it still works. No warm-up time is necessary...
I recently used it to record lava stone

Re: Piezo tubes
I had the same experience with them. I ended up ordering some from JLI but
spoke to them first and arranged shipping which wasn't the same cost as the
actual parts I ordered. I also tried 'Alice' in

Re: Piezo tubes
Hi Jack,
I've had some great results with approx. 25mm diameter, 20mm length and 2-3mm thickness.
I'd be interested to know if you get lucky with PI. Last time I checked with them during the summer,
