Hugh Palmer Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I'm looking to make an electromagnetic pickup microphone for an upcoming project and am wondering if anybody here has any experience in doing such a thing. I'm probably just going to buy a relatively cheap guitar pickup and wire an xlr end to it (and then keep it the hell away from all of my hard drives). There's a resource here: http://jedsound.com/blog/?p=200 that mentions needing specific wiring instructions but doesn't say specifically what they may be. Any and all advice appreciated as ever.

soundmanjohn Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hugh, A UK field recordist called Jez Riley French modifies standard telephone pick-up coils which work pretty well, by all accounts. Recently, he's been in a fairly bad car accident and is scaling back his operations, but he may still have some in stock that he can send out. His web-page with examples is here: http://hydrophones.blogspot.co.uk/2010/09/induction-coil-pick-up-now-available.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
