Primo EM 272 & EM 264Y Lavalier Microphones | Began with AOM-5024L-HD-R | DIY

DIY assembling of microphones, soldering etc. Encountered some grounding related noise with the 264Y but showed how it could be addressed. Did a bit of a wind test with the EM 272 using a fury wind cover. Also, featured the AOM-5024L-HD-R Lavalier Microphone at the beginning. I do believe that all of these mic capsules have their own mosfet built in, but don't quote me on that. I may have to look more into that aspect. Dealt with some grounding related noise type issues that seemed more apparent with the Primo EM 264Y, perhaps due to having to turn up the gain to get a comparable volume level.

Update: I think the knock-off Apple Power supply for my MacBook Pro may have been causing much of the noise. The fan was another issue entirely, but that was noisy too. For sure.

I’m pretty sure the primo em264 has significantly different specs such as signal to noise ratio and sensitivity. Let’s check into that:

Mic Capsule from DigiKey. Maybe not as "clean", but has more character I would say. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/d...

I got the dead cat at Amazon, but I think micbooster has one too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...
