Classical microphoneGuitar

[Jacky MAS]

Hello,

I plan to build a mike for my classical guitar based on the "schlertler approach"...

https://www.schertler.com/en_IT/musical-instruments/pickups/pickups-for-guitar/dyn-g-p48
Do you have any advice for the electro-dynamic capsule I can source for such a project ?

Thank you very much for any help on this topic !

My Best,

J

According to the patent:
https://patents.justia.com/patent/5461193
they have developed their own technology and pickup. I don't think you would find pickup like that anywhere.

Thanks for your input K. It seems the specs of their cell are 380 ohms and -38dBu output level.
I hope that somebody has developed a similar device or... may be it's possible to derive one !...
Any directions to build such an electro-dynamic cell are welcome !...

It made me think of the following

Finally the question is : has somebody derived a DIY electro-dynamic mike ?

These are very basic specs, that could apply to many microphones. It does not presupposes any significant performance.

I hope that somebody has developed a similar device

Considering this is a patented product, I very much doubt it.

or... may be it's possible to derive one !...

I think it would take a lot of competence, money and man-hours.

Any directions to build such an electro-dynamic cell are welcome !...

Start studying how dynamic microphones are built, and cry...

Finally the question is : has somebody derived a DIY electro-dynamic mike ?

Simply no. In order to achieve reasonable performance, a dynamic microphone has to be made with industrial resources or a dedicated lab. Mechanical precision, plastic moulding/forming, microscopic winding and test resources...

The more pertinent(?) question would be... Why?

Thank you guys for your very constructive inputs.
Anyway, I finally discover that several candidates are available through internet. I already selected one and will give it a try... The cost of the cell isn't prohibitive and if all went wrong I don't lose much !

Have you heard of this one:
Ask others for information, in case you stumble upon it yourself dare not to share it!
Could be i just made it up.
