Re: Capsule damage during soldering
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

Re: Simple set up for concert recording?
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

Re: Simple set up for concert recording?
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

Re: Primo EM200 + simple P48
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

Re: Simple set up for concert recording?
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

Re: Primo EM200 + simple P48
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

Re: Simple set up for concert recording?
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

Re: Simple set up for concert recording?
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

Re: Simple set up for concert recording?
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

Re: Capsule damage during soldering
The hole also means the diaphragm can stay cooler than the rest of the capsule, in case the metal jig gets warm

Re: Simple set up for concert recording?
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.

Re: Capsule damage during soldering
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
By Casey · #35767 ·
Re: Capsule damage during soldering
So the diaphragm isn¡¯t pressured when you insert the capsule into the hole

Re: Capsule damage during soldering
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

Re: Capsule damage during soldering
I use Kester 44 (leaded), part #24-6337-0053 (63/37 alloy, .050"). You want flux-core (aka resin- or rosin-core), not acid core. Re: soldering irons, I recently upgraded to an Aixun T3A with T245

Re: Steminc vs "Alice" Piezoelements
If you're in the UK I've got some boards based on the ones Jules did that. Just need to sort out the slider plate and build some up. Welcome to have one at cost for test, if you fancy. They should be

Re: Simple set up for concert recording?
Hi Ive noticed a TASCAM TM-DRUMS [1] set of 4 drum mics, 2 dynamic and 2 capacitor (48V) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tascam-TM-DRUMS-Microphone-set-drums/dp/B01N2MCBDU for ?160 thought they might work

Re: Capsule damage during soldering (was: Primo EM200 + simple P48)
I just use an radiator from an old computer. Drilled a 10 mm hole and it works just fine. Not as awesome as Nick's jig but surely helps. At least is good as a capsule holder.

Re: Primo EM200 + simple P48
Nick from micbooster.com here, just a couple of things regarding these capsules. Operating voltages - these are specified as below. EM258? 1.5V - 10V EM200? 3V - 10V EM204? 3V -10V Of course it is

Re: Capsule damage during soldering (was: Primo EM200 + simple P48)
This is the jig and heatsink we use for soldering 10 mm capsules.? The loose piece is held in place with elastic bands to keep the capsules steady and in good thermal contact with the sink.? We have
