I was using this setup which worked really well until that cheap little microphone died.
It is plugged into a cheap Ugreen USB sound card.
Instead of buying another one of these microphones, I would like to buy a capsule and make the microphone myself to improve the overall quality. I need help figuring out what I can get away with with regard to the specs of the capsule.
How much voltage can I assume that a USB sound card like this will provide to the microphone and how much does that matter with regard to where it lands in the operating range of a capsule? Would I be better off using, say, a 10mm capsule with a 1v-5v operating range or can I get away with something like a 15mm capsule with a 1v-10v operating range? Will it affect the volume or does the USB sound card compensate for that?
Thank you for your advice.
