    Microphone Tutorial PDF from Groove Tubes

    Looking up some info on an old Alesis/GT mic I have, I found the PDF link below on 'Choosing and Using Mics' from Groove Tubes. While it does have some Groove Tube product specific information, there is much on how different mics are constructed and work, care and use, and recording vocals and...

    USB Volts & Current Tester

    I like gadgets, particularly when they're cheap. I bought a USB voltage and current tester from Amazon and it arrived today. I've curious about the current draw of a few USB devices I have and it was impractical to use a standard DMM. Below is a quick check of the volts and current draw of a...

    Microphone Ground Loop Problem

    fingerdance, Does your 'USB sound card' in any way look like this one in this image from another HR thread... If it does, the quality may not be too good and that could be the problem with the hum/noise you get. It may not be designed to power the BM800 properly either.

    The Duracell Bunny Blew Up

    I usually remove batteries from guitar pedals and other gear that I know I'm not going to use for a while because of possible leakage, but now I have another reason, one that's likely pretty rare. The battery pictured below was one I use in a bass pedal and it was removed and on a shelf sitting...

    Upgrading Mic Quality

    The M3 supposedly has an life expectancy of >200 hrs. 24 hours, 7 days a week is 168 hours. Do you sleep, eat, or work? :) The M3 does have a switch for the battery so it can be turned off when not in use. Won't get a decent preamp on your budget and the RCA connections on your interface...

    Decent Used Mic From Reputable US Retailer- sE2200a II

    Hope this OK to post. I think it's a decent mic at a decent price for someone starting out recording. I've got the cardioid version of this mic and it's a good mic for both vocals and acoustic guitar. Multi-patterned, pad, and HPF. Used sE Electronics 2200a II Multi-Pattern Large SEE-2200AMKII

    Having some trouble with the RE20 (White noise/hiss)

    Is the mic mounted on a boom arm attached to a desk or otherwise in a stand on a desk? Below is one of your wav's normalized in Audacity and most of the waveform is a sine wave. I can't say there was much 'hiss' that I could notice, as the sine wave was pretty over powering. Normalized wav as...

    Behringer Xenyx 502 Audio Overlap Issue

    Ideally you 'need' a gaming PC, a Streaming PC, and a USB mixer to feed audio to the streaming PC :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: ....but maybe what you have can work. :D:D:D:D:D

    External mic preamp use with presnous firestudio

    Found this block diagram image for a Presonus Studiolive and it seems to suggest the Line inputs are after the mic pres. Perhaps the Firestudio would be the same(?)

    New to Me Used USB Controller

    Occasionally stop into the local thrift store to see what kind of bargains I can find. I've done pretty well in the past and today was no exception. I'm at an age I'm trying to downsize what I've got for gear, but for $10 I couldn't leave this on the display shelf. M-Audio Keystation 61ES with...

    How could in-line attenuator like the Shure A14AS work with condenser microphone?

    In the pics I found of the A15as they're careful not to show the diagram on the side of the barrel. What I can see of it, I'm guessing something like below. Maybe start with 330 ohm resistors like the diagram on the right in the link below. The 330 ohms may minimize loss of the phantom...

    testing phantom power delivery

    Perhaps suggest checking voltage across both resistors to ensure approximately equal voltage on both legs. "Plug into mixer, tape, whatever and clip meter across a 6k8." Implies just measuring one(?) This setup might a good test of a questionable cable also by plugging the test jiggy into the...

    Lavaliers on an H4N

    I just looked at the lav's you have on Amazon. Could you confirm that the plug looks like the one below with 3 connections (TRS - tip/ring/sleeve). One picture I saw only had two connections on the plug which makes me skeptical that it would work with a battery module.
