Paul Marossy Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Interesting. My only concern with using electrets is, what happens when you are playing in a band, and it's pretty loud? If you turn up those mics too much, at some point they are going to get microphonic or pickup too much of the ambient sound... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripper Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Remembered this thread while drinking wine with the Bridgestone boys and girls. The little felt "pop screen" on the end of the electret capsule was tight against the glass and prevented any ambient sounds from getting to the amp. Also, the capsule shown in the picture is a three wire capsule as opposed to the more common two-wire shown in the diagram. The difference is shielded cable used for sound output and a seperate DC+ lead. A two wire can be switched to shielded and it is recommended to eliminate hum. Hum does NOT ROCK!
