epilot said:Hello there,
Does anyone know which kind of microphones are the best choice to be used with audio band?
Which kind of them is able to support the widest audio spectrum?
Nigel Goodwin said:You first need to decide what the microphone is going to be used for, different types are suitable for different applications.
Your question is far too vague for any helpful reply.
Dr.EM said:Yep, what Nigel said. However, in answer to the part "Which kind of them is able to support the widest audio spectrum?", a condenser mic would be the answer. These can cover any frequency you can hear aswell as some far lower and some quite a bit higher and often maintain a very flat response across them.
epilot said:Thanks,
So a condenser mic is able to support 20Hz to more than 20kHz,
If so, I am wondered why other kind of mics are manufactured yet while condenser mics have the widest freq ,are too cheap and very small!?
Dr.EM said:I use WM61A mic capsules with a phantom powered balanced circuit so they connect to my mixer. They are very good yeah, and cost under £10 a mic total. The difference between a cheap kareoke type dynamic I actually paid £12 for it shocking.
Thats my freinds page, top track, "The Comfort of Silence".

Dr.EM said:I imagine 2 main limitations in a camcorder. Firstly, the capsules will have to be too close to give a good stereo effect. The supply to the capsules and general circuitry probably isn't high headroom enough to effectively capture a loud rock performance as the preset level is probably talking volume (and assuming you can't manually adjust the gain, there is probably a rather low quality limiting circuit in there?). Those WM61A capsules can have the linkwitz mod performed on them and, when wired up suitably, can handle 134db levels without distorting. I have parts here ready to make one, but still haven't done it.
Dr.EM said:Yeah, i've heard a lot of recordings with sound like that. It's the bass the gets them isn't it. My brother downloads peoples recordings of Prodigy concerts live if they play a new song, and it's rather clear until the bass comes in at which point you really can't make a thing out (they are notoriously loud and bass heavy live). It made more sense after going to a Massive Attack outdoor concert where we ended up a few metres from the right speaker (about a 30ft high speaker system). That literally was "trouser shaking" and you could seriously feel it in your chest, almost hard to breathe if you try to on a bass drum
Good performance btw!
