    Would love videos on safe disassembly of various shure mics. (For example , on Beta SM57A, which I am currently working on , and has glued-sections)

    Hello Sure. It would be really helpful if you did a tutorial about impedance matching. Cheers!

    I'm really confused, higher frequencies have more *energy* , so why do they have a harder time with dynamics?

    So what exactly happens when the condenser is overloaded? Does it stop working? Does it produce noise?

    I dit some tests with both electrostatic & magneticalstatic microphones using both on magnetic and electicalstatic speakers, in both cases with low and highpass filters. If i connect a magnetic microphone to a magnetic speaker i can hear hum but if i connect a electrostatic microphone to a electrostatic speaker, i can hear my voice much clearer. However if i connect a electrostatic microphone to a magnetic speaker or a magnetical microphone to electrostatic speaker,thern there will be a small, also if you filter use a highpass filter on a magnetical microphone to a staticalelectrical speaker, i actualy hear no difference when i connect a statical microphone that way to it. So it matters alot in how you use stuff to make a clear difference or barely hear any difference at all.

    Hello! I know this is an old video, but can you still help me get the microphone I need? :( Basically I need a long distance microphone for my HT-PC. I stay in bed and use Voice-to-Text and Cortana a lot, and I need something to hear me clearly from 2m+, without mumbling and background noise... And from the video I got that Cardioid is the type I need. But I still don't understand which has a better sensitivity, the ones that say "-70db" or "-10db"? I'm still confused... And on top of that there are stores that write the sensitivity in "mV", which I don't know what it means... I've also seen mics with batteries...... If I connect them to the 3.5 jack, why can't they get power from there?? It's not wireless to need batteries! :( Can you help me understand some of the stuff? And maybe help recommend one to me? I guess budget is out of the question for this... Doesn't matter, I'll manage. Also: Usually there's a minus "-" sign in front of each sensitivity number. Is that important? Because if it's scaled from below 0db, than -10db is a higher number than -50db... Right? God it's all confusing.......... :((((( Thank you in advance!!

    why don`t they combine the 2 types of microphones into one ? a dynamic condenser microphone :)
