Re: What is with this trace? (Lavalier Teardown: Shure WL185 with RF CommShield)
Thanks for the answers! The the Shure bodypacks have a 20KOhm bias resistor to ground where I wrote ¡°BODYPACK_20K_BIAS_AND_AUDIO¡±. What difference does 100Ohms make? It¡¯s a 0.5% difference,

Re: What is with this trace? (Lavalier Teardown: Shure WL185 with RF CommShield)
R1 is to bias the Fet properly. Also there is no 1G resistor as that Fet has an internal diode designed to ¡°leak¡± current and somewhat act as the 1G resistor. Most electrets with built in FETs

Re: What is with this trace? (Lavalier Teardown: Shure WL185 with RF CommShield)
It's sometimes called electrostatic guard. A very common technique in RF and very high impedance circuits. The parasitic capacitance is used profitably to bootstrap the gate. It shields the gate as

What is with this trace? (Lavalier Teardown: Shure WL185 with RF CommShield)
When cell phones became common, Shure lavalier microphones were picking up GSM noise. Shure changed their FET circuit, added a dot on the lavs so you'd know they're the new type and marketed them as

Re: True tree ears or DYI binaural dummy head.
Ha! This is some interesting stuff! I didn't know bamboo can be so hard it requires metalworking tools. Great reading, thanks for interesting and extensive information :) Didn't know your pole

Re: AOMs-5024 in enclosures from China
I opted for the felt-covered version in the hope that they would be slightly better at rejecting dust etc in the field. Also, they were a few cents cheaper. I recall seeing SONY and other pro lavalier

Re: True tree ears or DYI binaural dummy head.
You are right. Many bamboo species are light. It depends on the type of bamboo. This is a so-called Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis). The pole with the headphone is dry, hollowed and about 5 feet in

Re: True tree ears or DYI binaural dummy head.
Heinz - what a splendid setup! :) Bamboo too heavy?? Seriously? It's empty inside. Or is there something I don't know? Compared to my head it should weight next to nothing :) Mine's probably around 2

Re: True tree ears or DYI binaural dummy head.
Thanks for your kind feedback! I tried something similar with the Victor HM-200 Binaural Microphone Headphone. But it turned out that the bamboo is much too heavy to carry it around. Anyway, it was

Re: True tree ears or DYI binaural dummy head.
Yup! One's portable binaural tree ? BTW your (lovely) bamboo housings prompted me to move my lazy ass and finally make this True Tree Ears version. Beforehand I just fastened home-brewed lavaliers

Re: AOMs-5024 in enclosures from China
Vladimir - I also got the same version: no felt, perforated front (from TME in Poland, much lower shipping than from Mouser). Official PUI datasheets of both versions show no differences.

Re: OPA Alice: can 1 gig resister be replaced with a 750M ?
Oh. would you please tell a bit more about 'fun stuff' you mentioned. It is interesting.

Re: True tree ears or DYI binaural dummy head.
So cool! One should start a true binaural forest soundscape project. :-) Which reminds me to continue my bamboo microphone housings. Many thanks for sharing! Heinz

Re: OPA Alice: can 1 gig resister be replaced with a 750M ?
The one gig is pretty much ¡°industry standard¡±. The capsule capacitance swamps the LF noise it can generate. You could easily go to 2G at 10G you can run into humidity issues and other fun stuff.

Re: OPA Alice: can 1 gig resister be replaced with a 750M ?
It's going to work, but not as good. I have a friend who is an electronics expert who said that even 1G resistor is actually not too good and it is recommended to use even higher value resistor. It

Re: AOMs-5024 in enclosures from China
nice inexpensive solution. which aom 5024 version is yours? I've got a pair of 5024 with naked metallic front side with some pinhole perforation on it. I know there is also aom 5024 with felt or

Sounds great! But it's not done until it has a couple of googly eyes (helps with HF dispersion). :-)
