Both are takes on a PZM. First, The Disk Mic. This would be a large plexiglass disk with a small high quality capsule (most likely electret) mounted in the center. It would be a boundary mic with the plexi disk acting as the boundary. In addition the disk would act to reflect sound back at...

I am looking for some ideas for a pair of microphones that look impressive. I am issuing recommendations for the choir area of a new church. The church has maybe a dozen different singing groups almost all of which are amateurs. The usual way of micing a choir is to use spaced pairs of tiny...

Just built some new 3 inch thick absorbers and I tried something new (or at least new to me) and I was pleased with the result. I used metal studs instead of wood for the frame. I was impressed at how fast they went together, inexpensive, lightweight, crisp corners, and the finished product...

Small mono radio station running off of a Panasonic MG24/14fx Current outputs from the board are connected as follows. Mono Out->Main Transmitter Stereo Out->MD Decks. ST Sub Out->Logging System (computer that records everything broadcast) Group 2 Out->Codec to repeater transmitter. Rec...

I stumbled across these on the web today and judging from the shape they look like they would do a reasonabley good job. And at 30 bucks for 12 square feet they would be a good deal compared with MF charging nearly sixty for a four square foot Auralex T-Fusor...

Thank you all for contributing, Finally the show is up. You can get it at the Show Web Site or it is available atPodshow First of all thanks to everyone who contributed, but that also means that I now have to start collecting stuff right away for episode 2!! So who here wants to appear at...

As part of a class project I am thinking of starting another podcast to be called Open Mic Night at the Cafe Virtuale. The name sums up the concept rather well: Ecclectic, amateur, and tied together by the feel (added by sfx and ambient beds) that it was recorded at some small hip club. In...

I recently got my first ribbon mic through the 'group buy' and so suddenly I am curious about M/S stereo recording. I have no problem using my Edirol to record a stereo wav with the cardiod as 'left' and the fig-8 as 'right' or later to split them into two mono tracks. But THEN what do I do to...

This is a follow on to the 'group buy' thread. I set up both mics and did a quick spoken word recording (what I usually use the mics for) plus a little ad-libbed singing (since I know that is a little more common use). Left Channel is Alctron HRM-10 Right channel is MXL2003 Recordings are...

Although a cute tool for the reporter it was way overpriced compared to say a EV 635 and a m-audio microtrack http://www.hhb.co.uk/hhb/usa/hhbproducts/flashmic/index.asp

http://www.holophone.com/products.html It was less expensive than I expected, not that I had a need to buy one.

I know that this isn't exactly a studio building question but it is as close as any other. I am about to make some suggestions to my church (where I lead one of the choirs) about the sound system. Most of the items I am pretty confident on. Currently none of the loudspeakers in the church...

Here is an unusual mic selection problem. My son the wildlife biologist wants to record bird songs using a DIY dish microphone (like those things you see on the sidelines of NFL games to hear the QB. The dish part is pretty simple. And it is the dish that does all the sound focusing. In...

My daughter just got a mini mp3 player and I noticed that it can record on a line-in. so the thought was whether it could serve as a really tiny interview recorder. But the lline-in jack does not have plug-in power so I would need some way to get the mic signal up to line level. Normally of...

Thought I would share this. It is an audio dramatization of an Edgar Alan Poe short story. I did it as the final project in a class on how to use Pro Tools. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=4655&alid=-1
