His wife also hates head sets.. the manager was telling me about her sensitive ears.. wasnt really listening though.
How are you going to control the mic volume? Up close it will be too loud. Far away it will not be loud enough.
How are you going to control the terrible sound picked up by the mic when the lady is speaking in a direction away from the mic?
What about echoes?
What about noise from the traffic outside and the air conditioner inside?
Many performers use a wireless headset microphone for its good clarity when the performer is moving around. The lady needs one.
I could add 10K logarithmic pot to output.. for volume changes
She is not going to be running around everywhere though..
From what I have gathered.. she wants to be able to talk to her customers while computing.
BUT
She cant stand her headset.. or any for that matter.. thats what makes this so fun :|
As for echoes, air conditioners and traffic ... that is her problem.. not mine
Bottom line.. I was paid, although I told him to wait until it was made
, so I shall produce..
As for buying a pre-made product... why is this even a suggestion? This is an electronic DIY site..
I dont think a sales women will be belting out any vibrato notes inorder to close a sale; so an expensive headset is not necessary.
I guess I will just use the TL081 and adjust the gain until I come to a good sound.
All I am really frightened of is frying my computers Mic input.. what are the chances of this happening?
Should I test the output Wattage of the preamp firstly?
I will also go through the links provided - thank you - I dont really want to have to order special IC's and parts for this .. I have school work and would rather get this over with sooner then later.
Thanks for helping out
Edit: I dont want to come off as a jack*** about the 'go out and buy it' comments, its just that the particular comment is fustrating when you want to be creative :{}
