Both mics, along with the stereo mics SM2 and SM23, used the same basic capsule design ” which itself was very similar to the KM54 capsule. According to Klaus Heyne of German Masterworks, the FET KM88 was designed in order to use up the company`s surplus of these capsules. In the KM56 and KM88, a pair of small-diameter capsules were joined back-

to-back with a gap between them. The gap was created to increase the time difference between the arrival of low-frequency signals at the two membranes. Typical dual-diaphragm capsules have a very small gap between front and back membranes. Long, low-frequency signals are nearly in phase at both diaphragms simultaneously. When the polarity of the rear diaphragm is reversed to create a figure-of-8 pattern, the resulting low-frequency response is attenuated because the two signals ” reversed in polarity but nearly identical in amplitude ” cancel out. The diaphragms in the KM56/KM88 capsule are made of 0. 7-micron nickel ” approximately 1/10 the thickness of typical (~6-micron) condenser capsule membranes. The initial design of this capsule used a relatively loose diaphragm tension, and was subject to damage from high SPLs. [When] the diaphragms were repeatedly overloaded with SPLs to a point that the metal diphragm bottomed out against the electrically charged backplate, a tiny (arc) hole [can burn] into the diaphragm at the point of contact. In 1982, Neumann changed the tensioning of the nickel diaphragm, in order to make the capsules more durable in close-miked vocal applications (such as German broadcast). This change altered the frequency response of the microphone ” specifically, in Cardioid and Figure-of-8 patterns, low-frequency response was lost ” 5dB @ 40Hz in Cardioid, and ~11dB @ 40Hz in Figure-8.

This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
