Hi folks:
I try not to blow my own horn much in this forum. One of my articles that just hit the stands, though, is a DIY project, so I think it's appropriate to mention.
The article's in the current issue of Recording, and concerns a set of experiments I did with my students on lower-impedance loading as a way to improve the performance of the Shure SM57. I also describe a Gizmo for folks to try it themselves (basically an XLR barrel connector or short cable with a resistor across the terminals), making it a DIY.
I'd be interested to hear folks' reactions to the article, particularly should you feel minded to try the experiment. Cost is <$10 with retail parts, almost free if you have the stuff in your parts box.
Peace,
Paul
