??? Electret Condenser Capsule???
??? Electret Condenser Capsule???
I have been experimenting with electret condenser capsules placed inside on the acoustic guitar for some time. Generic types. Anybody knows where to get higher end capsules? What is available? -- Serge Stodolnik. Production Music for Film/advertisement/production libraries/multimedia/web sites. http://www.subverted.com E-MAIL: Ph # 214-324-9942 |

If you are saying higher end than Panasonic, please see: http://dkc3.digikey.com/PDF/EU042/0767-0768.pdf Under Knowles Acoustics. |

Except for the ones at the bottom of that page, all are for ITE and BTE hearing aids and in general may not have the HF response needed for audio recording. There is no information I've seen to think that the electrets at the bottom are any better than the Panasonics. OTOH, the much more expensive FG series are getting outstanding reviews from those who have been experimenting with them. If you intend to play with them, by all means spring for the leaded ones. Attaching three leads to those little .1" O.D. capsules is beyond being a bitch. It almost requires a Waldo. A highly skilled tech friend of mine fried three of them in getting two wired for me. I'm using them for in-ear measurement of headphone and room/monitor response in a way that their noise doesn't matter and any deviations from flat cancel so I can't personally attest to their recording quality. http://www.knowleselectronics.com/pr...ECHNOLOGY_ID=2 Bob -- "Things should be described as simply as possible, but no simpler."

Panasonic used to make some okay omnis, that were a lot better than the usual Chinese production, and you used to be able to get them from Digi-Key. I don't see Digi-Key carrying any of the larger ones any more, though, and I don't see them carrying any of the three-terminal types. I think you can get a couple three-terminal types from Knowles. Beyond that, Sennheiser used to make a couple of capsules for hearing aid applications that used to be available as bare capsule in Europe, but I don't think you can get them from the US distributor. And, of course, there are the DPA electrets, which are available as lav mikes, and might be just what you want. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
