Hi, Pax. Hope you're enjoying your holiday. The PP-1 actually uses what was the earpiece of the mic as the microphone. The original mic in old-school telephones was a carbon mic, which requires a DC power supply (about 6-12V at a few milliamps), and either a resistor-capacitor circuit or a transformer. The carbon mic has a very high (line-level) output, a narrow frequency range of about 300-4,000Hz, and it is seriously distorted at all times. These mics don't sound too distorted over a phone line because the phone line also has a limited high end, usually brick-wall filtered above 3,300Hz, and so the distortion is somewhat smoothed out. The element is a "single-button" type, which was inferior to later "double-button" carbon mics, used in early broadcasting.
You have an option for the pp-1 to put the mic the mic in the ear piece (default) or in the original mouth area (you pay a little extra for it). Im not convinced the element is original. Usually carbon mics need voltage going through it to work. This doesnt use any power, it operates as a standard dynamic.
From what i understand, later versions of the phones didn't use carbon elements. I have an old payphone at the old studio, maybe i should try and experiment with that.
That first pro42 bass sound might be my favorite upright tone without any separate stands I’ve ever heard. Might have to check that one out. Great vid!
I was really surprised with it as well.
Ive used other stick on mics / pickups before but this sounded way more natural.
Cool. That was fun.
Thanks for checkin it out!
the tin can mic sounds exactly how I would expect the inside of a tin can to sound. why does it even exist?
🤷♂️ probably because idiots like me see something quirky and have to buy it. Lol
One of my favorite effect "mics" is a piezo element wired to a 1/4" TS jack. One of my favorite creative applications was taping a piezo to the end of a cabasa and a dynamic mic close to the edge. Pan one hard left and one hard right, level match, and you have a crazy wide stereo sounding cabasa. Kind of like Rick-o-sound for a cabasa. But you can tape those things to pretty much anything for interesting effects.
Thats a pretty cool idea. Thats gotta sound wicked... a direct sound cabasa. The high end has to be ridiculous. Wonder what else would work with something like that? Thanks for the great comment.
@@meistudiony You can get incredibly creative with it... tape a piezo to a shell of a drum, the headstock of a guitar, under the footpad of a kick drum pedal, to a cymbal, inside a guitar cab, get crazy with it. Try things.
I like my 520a for room sounds
Yeah, i could get used to this. It compliments the sound without being intrusive. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Fine….ill rename the channel to odd mics
Noooooooo
