Hi All ,Fellow Microphone Builders,
just a little reminder that , it is strongly advised to use Gloves for HZ resistor installation in an Microphone Application
i would strongly recommend using gloves for this at least to 10Mohm and Up. It is very well know that peanut butter fingerinos does not mix well with this part of DIY Microphone world. I also would like to recommend using gloves for any capsule installation as well for the exact same reason. So the microphone shall not suffer any frequency response issues.
Using also No-Clean Solder for microphone application is recommended so the cleaning efforts is minimized to extreme if any needed, I also recommend using a very fine tip for precision work , always does a better job with those. I am using Weller St7 to St-6 Soldering tips

,
this is a reference to the best stuff I ever used
