Hey Jules, love your content. Thank you for the time and effort taken to put this together. After your kind help by email, I am really enjoying my mics built with your circuits. A few on other groups have criticised your component layout as not being ideal but I have yet to experience any problems!
Not sure what the complaints on component layout are. The circuit works as designed, and many have been built. The newer ones are all SMD and they work just like the through hole ones.
I have designed a capsule support that enables you to mountbthe 2 capsules right on axis. Itvwas for another capsule diameter (tsb160) but I can adapt it verybeasily to your capsule.
You always seem too make the mic's that I have been thinking of lately haha. Not sure if it would work but I've often thought about using a strategically placed figure 8 with a long shotgun mic so you can have an track to pick fill on your sides when you want to and possibly use it to help minimize your rear lobe in post. Thoughts?
@ lol you went there didn’t you! 🤣. Technically I am flipping the polarity. Although the control in Reaper and most mixers is labeled Phase. If there is no time delay, it is the same. But I get the phase shift due to time delay not being identical.
@@SoundSleuth I am going to play the nit-picker here. First, let's agree that just because a control is labelled one way does not mean that is the proper use of that term. There are multiple generations of players who misuse the terms "vibrato" and "tremolo" because Leo Fender switched them and never corrected that mistake. But to the greater point, @Scodiddly is correct. Polarity is a description of a single sound source, phase describes a relationship between two or more sound sources. One source can never be in or out of phase in a standalone description of itself, that only exists as a state of relationship relative to another source. In the side capsule, you flip the duplicated channel's polarity in order to affect its phase relative to the original. Words have meanings. Okay, rant over. Otherwise, super cool video. I think I might go get one of those kits!
@ Thanks! Vibrato and tremolo are very different 🤣. I think I’m going to go with “Invert” the signal and mix it in… then I stay away from phase and polarity. 👍🏻
Very interesting video! I have become really nerdy about mics since starting my youtube channel!
Me too! Based on your RUclips handle I’m guessing you use Home Assistant. I do as well. I’ve got a lost os ESPhome additions too.
@@SoundSleuth Oh cool yes I am crazy about home assistant and it is so great the ESP Home is now part of Home Assistant!
I use a Sure SM 7 at the moment but I do love the idea of building my own mic as the capsules are so affordable. I recently got into 3D Printing too!
@ check out my other mics as well. The circuit i am using is excellent
@@SoundSleuth Thank you I will do! Great work on your channel and website!

in Reaper you have a native JS decoder for MS ☺
@@Not-Only-Reaper-Tutorials yes you do!
I want people to understand how it works. Way too many people just grab plugins without understanding what they actually do.
@@SoundSleuth yes I fully agree

Jules what a surprise 🙂🍾🍾🍾

I assume that the Endora Breakout Cable works for this?
@@camerakungfu yes it does! Designed it that way
Your use of the word “phase” creates a disturbance in the force. Otherwise very cool!
Thanks! There are those who say polarity and those who say phase… 😊
@ but only one of them is correct. :)
