Microphone Links
Stereo Recording Techniques at the Deutshe Welle Radio Training Center is a goldmine of information on stereo micing techniques. Jeff Maggard's Microphone FAQ is one of the most useful pages I've found. I can never figure out those typographic circuit diagrams, though. Uneeda Audio has lots of DIY projects and info, including inline pads, phantom power, PZM mods and much, much, more. Harvet Gerst's Indian Trail Recording Studios has some good articles on Radio Shack PZM and capsule mods including the "Rastoczny" mod and phantom power options. With typographic diagrams, unfortunately. Yahoo! Groups :micbuilders Join now. The Microphone University At DPA Microphones (formerly B&K) has a lot of good mic and recording info. Start at Ambisonic.Net if you're thinking about building a Soundfield mic knock-off. The Official Alan Dower Blumlein website has a lot of neat stuff, but unfortunately they seem to have left all the equations out of the patent applications they have posted here. Darn.
Parts Sources
Mark Strong is offering Transsound mic capsules and replacements for Panasonic types including discontinued models at JLI Electronics Digi-Key has the Panasonic capsules, Burr-Brown IC's, conductive paint and epoxy, and a good selection of other electronic parts. All Electronics is a surplus outfit, but their selection stays pretty stable. Good source for capacitors, resistors, transistors, multi-conductor cable, and power transformers. The Electronics Goldmine is another surplus outfit, but their selection changes frequently. They've got a lot of one dollar specials, so if you see something you want, grab it. Good source for miniature potentiometers. McMaster-Carr Has brass mesh screening. Search for "wire cloth". |
