Voice-over Microphone || DIY or Buy

0:15 ..... or just repair / replace the USB Socket!

I really like this "DIY or buy?" series. I always ask myself that when I need something.

I work with audio for a living and train high schoolers as well. This is an interesting and quality explanation of condenser mics from the functional standpoint. Definitely going to incorporate this video into my curriculum!

Are you sure your sound card did not affect the recording of the diy mic ? Because the studio mic has an integrated sound card that might be better than your computers internal one!

Love the DIY or Buy series. The DIY microphone definitely has its applications! Thanks for your schematic

"usb studio microphone" is an oxymoron

One project that I actually did. And it works well Kudos to great Scott for taking the time to make these projects and videos

Thanks again for the awesome build and advice. I implemented your build for a simple Skype mic and worked like a charm. Your videos are youtube-electronics classics. Keep it up. Stay safe

I think this test is unfair. Electret microphones needs some housing to avoid the "echo". To make it somewhat similar, I at least would put the band-pass filter in the condenser mic.

Hey greatscott maybe you can make a diy or buy episode about lipo balance chargers, or even a episode on how to build them. Because there are not a lot of diy lipo balace chargers on the internet and buying one is a little bit expensive. Besides that, if we know how to make it we can make more safe battery packs in our diy devices, for instance: make an electric longboard with batterypack and built in charger so you only need to plug in an adapter and dont have to plug the bttery out everytime you charge or have a less save batterypack with a bms. I hope you will see this! And loove your vids, one of the best youtuber

This is great. Now i have the solution to my camera Microphone recording. Small and compact for this kind of use. Wooow wat a great project Scott

Thanks for the video - I have an old broken condenser mic at home which I was always too scared to try and fix but your explanations are helpful enough for me to try and look! :)

I think that reducing both filters (lowering the low pass and extending the high pass frequencies) could greatly improve the resulting sound of voice recording.

I just use a Samson Go mic. It's a steal for $40!

As always, a great video! Thanks Scott

You are the man!! Your vids are very informative and professional thank you for giving us your time and knowledge.

Your efforts always add quantum shift to my growing understanding. Thanks and best wishes 😊👍

Hey scott, great video! Very interesting. I wonder, could you show how to make a noise cancelling circuit for such a microphone to increase the audio quality? Or perhaps for noise cancelling headphones?

Great Video , thank you for this one, even I got 40 years exp. in electronic this was something I do not know well, never tested never tried, just used studio mic , or my gaming headset mic to record videos and that is, now I do understand things much better. Thank you man. You really carry your nick with right on it. You are great.

You’re great, Scott! Great video, as always!
