Yes challenging, but i still hope to come up with something. After all, i don't need that much amplification to match the ensemble. It gives me a feeling that its feasible, so far.


...The more i search, the more i find! I have been reading other posts, links and related searches already mentioned here. it really takes time to get a hold of my options and limits for this project, but i'll try to make a point of situation right now. I'll repeat myself and other user's posts in some points...


Here are some interesting links i found regarding this kind of device(this is more for me or anyone wanting to gather info):


the user Teleman made something beyond my needs, but ideal, in this discussion(end of page 1)

about balanced signals

Calrec type of Eq is far out of reach for me. The linkwitz lab has more than enough info to source filters and other corrections to the signal, i think

Another high end product of the same type

- Pzm mics would be nice to work with, despite all the possible problems they would have in this situation; specially the application on the surface of the soundhole, wich is moving as it amplifies strings, therefore making its technology impredictable in this case(right?)... I would buy some of these ( not the 100's$ ones, neither the big enclosure ones) just to try them out, if you know where to get them please point me there(i've been searching, couldn't find any so far- im based in Europe).


   So, for now i have unidirectional and "noise rejection" electret capsules to start with. Bruce0 mentioned his Nebish circuit, posted here http://groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=43085.msg546752#msg546752


I found this (i think) somewhat similar circuit http://www.mp3forkidz.com/mic/phantxy.html . It seems easier than bruce0, specially because i don't have etching tools.... I'm going to build as soon as i get all the parts. i'll do the linkwitz mod to both  WM34 and WM55 - Then i'll try to shootout the best position to fix the capsule on the instrument.



As an example, i recorded these tracks (first 5 tracks) https://soundcloud.com/paulorosa-2 with an Rode NT1000 and MXL V69, into a That mic Pre http://electronics.dantimax.dk/Kits/Preamps_-_poweramps/index.html, into a Emu 1212m. This kind of maccaferri guitars have a "rude" type of sound to it....
