    Clark "mic booster" CT-1 review

    Purchased at Amazon in hope of obtaining some "free" gain for dynamic microphones. Admittedly, I was lured by the comment made in the name of Ramesh Singaram: Clean gain? Initial voice recording sounded distorted, so I decided to measure the device. All done via loopback on Audient ID4 mk II...

    Apple Dongle (USB-C to 3.5 mm) ADC quality with EarPods/free headsets

    I read somewhere years ago that perhaps crinacle used the apple dongle's ADC via an adapter to measure equipment because apple dongle's ADC is the best of all USB-C dongles. I think this is true. It is not studio quality, but it does support 24/48 PCM recording in mono and does not have as much...

    Headset cable (1xP3) -> Splitter cable (2xP2) -> Headphone cable on DAC -> Microphone cable on PC -> Noise from motherboard (Help!)

    I use a "headset cable" on my AKG K371 headphone: It has a P3 connector, a splitter divides it into two P2 connectors, one for the headphone output (plugged into my Loxjie D10 DAC) and another for the microphone input (plugged into the computer's front or back panel). As soon as I plug the...

    Search for Good Mic Preamps

    Hi all, Created this thread to find mic preamps that will be good enough (and hopefully not too pricey) to match the Cosmos ADC's level of performance. How are the preamps below? I'm new to this but they appealed to me after a day of searching and shortlisting. Curious about any other...

    Can you compare hearing sensitivity and mic self-noise like this?

    Apples to oranges or pear-to-pear networking, that is the question. https://www.lewitt-audio.com/microphones/lct-recording/lct-540s So that on top is the bog-standard hearing threshold curve for sinusoidal stimuli, I assume. Now what would have happened if they chose another analysis...

    Bluetooth microphone as an addition to wireless headphones?

    Here's the situation. I want to do my job while listening to music through my HE-4XX. I like how convenient the music fades out when the phone rings and then resumes when the call is done. So I want a bluetooth microphone to make this work for me properly. Anyone else use a combination of wired...

    Accuracy of phone base SPL meters?

    In another thread there was some discussion of matching levels for test tracks, and the topic of how to measure levels came up, so I tried a quick comparison. The phone was balanced on top of the UMIK, so it's mic was only about a centimetre away from the UMIK's capsule: In a quiet room I get...

    Microphone stand - worth getting an "anti-vibration" stand?

    Asking on behalf of someone who wants to record woodwind instruments (bassoon and sax). I believe he is going to for a Behringer XM8500 mic and given the quality of the mic, it's not clear that it's worth spending more on an anti-vibration stand. My guess is vibration would be evident in low...

    Looking for advice on a headphone cable carrying microphone signal.

    I am looking to find some bare cable (no attached connectors) to repair my Audio Technica ATH-G1. What I am having trouble with is finding a 4-5 conductor cable that is close to 4mm and has a silicone outer insulation. From my understanding even though the current cable has 6 conductors (5 that...

    Shopping for a measurement mic

    I am new to REW and measurements in general, read some tutorials and did my first ones using the gear that I already have: a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 2nd gen USB audio interface, and an M-Audio Nova cardioid, side address, large diaphragm condenser mic. The Nova is not made for measurements, so...
