Using an electret capsule as a voice mic rather than for a binaural pair makes no difference to powering requirements.Ĭonnecting an electret capsule to most 3.5mm microphone inputs couldn't be simpler. Phantom Power is a VERY different (and completely incompatible) method of powering microphones. But extremes in level (like whispering or shouting) would not be something it could handle well.Īll electret capsules require power often called "plug-in power" which is a few volts. Certainly they need protection from plosives (like a pop/blast filter). Nothing particularly against using them for recording voice. I wouldn't think they would be all that useful for recording low-level sounds (like ambient background, etc.) I can only think that "Nature recordists seem to love " because they were cheap (disposable) and reasonably accurate. But there was no solution for the self-noise problem other than buying 100 of them and selecting the quieter samples. The dynamic range could be improved somewhat using the "Linkwitz Mod". The Panasonic WM-6x series was legendary for a couple of reasons: They were dirt-cheap, and they had pretty flat frequency response.īut they were not noted for having very good dynamic range and they were not particularly quiet. But certainly there are many vendors of similar commodity electret capsules out of the usual places. Panasonic got out of the electret microphone capsule business several years ago.
