Thank you for your answer both here and on PM ! I think i will first do a normal thing without battery and mods just to see how this mic compares to the other 2 i have. Then i will order another capsule and do the thing with battery and the mod and compare unmodded mic against battery and modded one...

Hello, i ordered WM-61A capsule online and now i am trying to properly connect it and i am having a bit of difficulty. I am following this diagram: http://industrial.panasonic.com/cdbs/www-data/pdf/ABA5000/ABA5000CE22.pdf I got 1uF cap but i am unsure whether i need a resistor also. The person who r...

I have been doing some recording with audacity using laptop on a battery. This will give me about 3 hours of recording if i turn off the display. Since this laptop can idle over 6 hours, i have been wondering if there is any way to extend the time it can record on battery with some settings. I alrea...

This looks great ! I am ordering this mic asap, and i have to check whether i have 1uF cap lying around or i have to order that aswell. On the second link you suplied i checked "Soldering cables onto WM-61A's" and i didnt see the guy using any capacitors, does that mean using them is "optional", ser...

Those microphone capsule are so cheap it would be a sin not to try and asemble 1 at home and then test against those cheap microphones i have. Maybe get different types of microphone capsules and compare them, it sounds like 1 of my projects that slows down my college progression ! If i were to buy ...

I just did some testing with different microphone and computers. I did as you suggested and plugged different microphone into an 3.5mm jack extension cord and i found out that the culprit was the microphone. It is wierd though because that microphone used to work normaly and i checked and the only w...

I did the cleaning thing, no luck. But things just got more interesting, 1 of the microphones is not buzzing anymore ! I got 2 microphones, 1 of them is connected with 5m long extension cord (3.5mm - 3.5mm) going into the other room (with no noicy computers and such things), the other one i am simpl...

Thank you for all your replies ! Right now on 1 laptop i have +12dB boost and when no noise is made it will give me about -30dB in audacity. Does that feel ok or would you lower/raise boost ? I know it is best to test it and hear but just as a rule of thumb would you lower or raise. As for testing g...

I will leave the boost at +0dB for now and do a gain and noise removal later. I have another question. I tried 3 different computers (2 laptops and 1 desktop) with this microphone. On both laptops i am getting ground buzz as soon as i connect it to power suply (1 power suply has 2 pin cable - no gro...

Hello :) I have a question that has been bugging me for a while. I am using windows 8.1 and if i go under recording devices i have an option called microphone boost and it goes from 0dB to about 35dB. Now for the sake of an argument lets asume i am using microphone to record human speech and listen ...
