I need a hydrophone to get some sound samples of some underwater apparatus. If I buy a designated hydrophone its going to cost more money than what its worth to me. Perhaps I could make one by water proofing a good ole sm-57

Ideas are greatly appreciated

Oh, I heard there is going to be some sort of Presidential election soon. Is this true? Who can I vote for and can I vote more than once? Thanx
 
I have heard of a 57 in a condom being used for this!

Vote early, vote often!
 
A condom? Couldn't they find a regular balloon? I'd hate to mouth that thing after the hydrophone use...

I heard a BBC radio 4 documentary in India about the river dolphins - they are blind and have difficulty navigating with all the noise created by motorised traffic. The guys doing the documentary forgot their hydrophone and used a mic in condom to great effect. The only problem they had was finding a shop that sold condoms in India - took hours :))
 
Bring the condom with you to the voting booth also, cause either way you're f*cked.

Ah, man. Sorry I missed where you asked for a hydrophone, and poli-dick-al commentary...

On the condom note, I was trying to record last night to no avail. Ended up getting a bit buzzed. Thought about this thread.

So, it's 2:30 in the morning, and i'm drunkenly quiet as I trash my kids room looking for a balloon. Luckily, I found a package of a 100. (He's 2. I'm talkin' about balloons.) I grab a big one, stretch it over a 58 with the windscreen off, and sink it in the toilet. Up to the balloon opening, of course. Hit record, and flush the toilet. I recorded toilet flush's until 3:15, then went to bed.

And just think, at least one *GUARANTEED* option to be at WWIII in less than 4 years. DC was simply Orwellian last night - frightening stuff.

Sorry to of no help on the hydrophone :)
 
BTW - trojan unlubricated for mics. Other types for other uses, political, personal.....

As a FOH guy a condom is probably the best thing that could touch our mics, they get NASTY. For club playing singers out there, buy you own 58 or equivalent, trust me.
 
Oh, yeah. Nothing quite like the rancid smell of a nightclub's 58 that's been used by who knows how many people.
