Mic comparisons, recorded the right way.

I just drilled a hole in my external speaker and mounted a 1/8" stereo jack in the hole. Now I can plug in my voice recorder and make better recordings.

Just recorded my first line level recording with cheap stock microphone. Heil PR40 will sound much better.. Gotta wait til Christmas for that microphone.

 

Your recorder has a 8 ohm input?

 

Doubt it. Most likely a mismatch of some sort. I'll play with it more tomorrow.
Olympus DM420
way off.
3.5 mm mini-jack, impedance 2.2 kΩ

Lol..Saw that in one other pic and thought it was a cell..Wondered what a cell had to do with your at 6666

 

Records in stereo unlike my phone.

 

I had to play with the recording levels to get rid of the distortion.
It sounds like I got it dialed in pretty well this time around.
I had to search around in the hidden menu settings to find the Recording sensitivity adjustment.

 

I kinda like these line level recordings..

 

You guys need to do it a bit differently.

With a stereo recorder, one channel is the input of the radio from the mic and the other is an the output of the radio.

 

This seems to be the quickest and easiest recording solution. Only 1 recording wire needed..

 

It's not too often I get to hear a microphone I built over the airwaves.
Here is an Electro Voice 602t I put together years ago. I don't bump into this guy too often anymore since I quit running Coast to coast.
Sounds really nice.
