Subwoofer Wiring (turning into a mic)

[RodC]

Phasing is a bit hard, I think its because it moves slow. I usualy nudge it 2 or 3 ms back and forth to get a good sound.

Wiring the two coils out of phase (with common ground) and then to XLR in standard configuration will give (quasi-) balanced operation. Something to try if noise is a problem.

And will give a slightly higher output.

glas its working for you, speaker mics are FUN.

i was very pleased to see (hear) that it seems to have pretty much no noise, which is pretty sweet.

the phase, llast project i used it on i used my IBP jr and found what seemed to work best, it was much harder/weirder on a guitar cab.

the band i recorded an 8 hour demo for posted the mp3s if you wanna check out my results, the kick is a beta52 with the sub: http://www.davyjoneslocker.org/

Liked what I heard!

Lumpy, diffuse kick with a tuneful bass guitar finding space - nice.

I dug the Weezer-like acoustic, too.

Thanks for sharing.

Curious as to how you are hooking this into a mic preamp. Once wired, are you able to treat the speaker as a regular dynamic mic and go XLR into any mic preamp? I ask because you mentioned hooking it up into a DI.

Thanks!
