Hi
Would a Shure SM58 be any good for taking measurements? It is the only mic in the media loan centre(free) of my university and therefore the only one I can get my hands on. I do realise it's a vocal mic, but surely it's better than nothing and should give a reasonably accurate response?
It's the first time I've tried taking measurements, so just looking for a bit of advice.
Thanks

Go to Linkwitz Lab - Loudspeaker Design and navigate to microphone in the projects section. Some good advice there! E
You want a DC blocking cap in there, right?
Yes, there is a 10 uF capacitor in there.
Sorry but I made the drawing for the non-engineer, so it looks more like the physical representation of the componets rather than our normal electronic symbols.

Thank you for the drawing. It will be a short while before I get around to doing this, maybe 3 weeks or so after my 2 current uni projects are finished. When I do I will have to come back to this thread to make sure I've soldered it up correctly even on this non-engineers diagram. As I am unsure of the - lead from the cell. Does it connect to both mic leads that then I presume lead to the 3.5mm jack on the right not shown?
