    I've been impressed by the video you did ten years ago, where you talk in front of the two mics, to reveal at the end that you were switching the sound every 5 seconds. The video left me speachless. I'm wondering if we still get that level of "uncanny" with the current model, compared to the older one in the video. >>> Is the new NU-47V3S an iteration on the mic in the old video ? Does the mic from 10 years ago and the one being sold today both use the same technics ? In both cases, no tube, no trannies, no M7 capsule, right ? Also, where does the new model stands, compared with the first wooden version used by Bjork and others ? Thanks.

  • @someoneacomputer1905
    @someoneacomputer1905 Před 22 dny

    Hello ! Can you tell me if the current NU-47VS3 is the result of an iterative process ? Was the concept of getting rid of the OG capsule, tube and transformer already here for the first wooden version ? Or is this concept, a new one, and a departure from the origins of your U47 recreation ? Thanks.

    @RadianFilms64 Před měsícem

    So basically that resistor does the same thing a 3.5mm to XLR adapter does, that converts 24 or 48V to plug in power that the mic needs? I believe so... The adapters are expensive and if a resistor like this can be used, that is great news. Or is there more electronics inside those adapters? I think they are called VXLR+.

    • @NordicAudioLabs

      Yes, that's what it does. It does not change the output impedance so more advanced circuits can be useful in some situations.

    • @NordicAudioLabs
      @NordicAudioLabs Před 5 měsíci

      The best resistor value depends on the FET inside the capsule, so far I think all capsules I've tested worked. If you can, measure the voltage across the capsule and compare with the capsule datasheet.

      Hi Dustin, I've now tested some from JLI and I'm aware of the Primo quality. Have indeed found some decent ones, but unfortunately not as flat as the WM-61. There are ways to deal with that, could be material for another video, but my day job (with microphones) has kept me super busy.

      @@NordicAudioLabs I agree, the WM-61 is has a great response. and absolutely doesn't break the bank. So for a good quality DIY microphone the WM61 is one to seriously consider. Even with a simple P48 or your circuit (you need a name 😉) and a donor body you can make a very good electret condenser mic. I'll have to pic one up to play around with it , i'm thinking lavalier.. because a ⌀6mm is nice and small.

    Interesting project. The mics with the 5K hump and gentle LF cut below 200Hz are trying to emulate the frequency response found on the professional lavalier/personal mics such as the Tram TR50, Sony ECM 50/55/77 etc and is intentional. The bass cut is there to compensate for the chest resonances boosting the LF. The upper mid peak compensates for the drop in level at those frequencies caused by the acoustic shadow created by the chin and jaw when the mic is placed near the sternum. Some DPA (B&K) 4000 series electrets come with a slide on sleeve and grill which allows you to change the level of the 5K peak depending on if you want to use the mic mounted on the chest under the chin or in free space.
