No offense intended in my post, but if you don't know the difference between balanced and unbalanced, you might not want to get into the mic building hobby, yet....
There are a ton of mic building guides using the WM61a Panasonic Capsules. There are also a ton of guides showing how to make a battery box. Serach around on the internet, here at taperssection and maybe read about audio cables.
Good luck!
No offense taken, I've never asked or been told what the term mean so I thought I'd ask. I wouldn't draw too many conclusions as to my building abilities from the question. A new taper might not know what FOS means but once he knows it will only take him a few seconds to walk there.
I've seen a couple of guides about the Panasonic capsules but I'd end up with a pair of mics like the CSBs I've had for years.
I was wanting a better capsule and some help getting them in the UK. Same with the cable I've read about the stuff that Church use and I can't track it down in the UK. I spose I could get it from the US
I've also seen a couple of battery box guides but all they are is a poor diagram with little explanation as to how it works or what each bit does.
I did look around but didn't find that answers I wanted
Cheers
