has anyone done a multi-mic setup? i want to make a "multi" microphone so when I talk on discord I can be in a workshop or at pc and people can still hear me I wanted to just solder two mics to the same port but that didn't work or the other mic had lots of static because of the length. is there a circuit I should use? any help is welcome
@diyperks
I'd love to watch that. I've thought of uses for those in the past after seeing my buddy use one in his car, never thought of using it as a wireless mic transmitter though. I'm interested to see how you set that all up.
I'm also excited to see what people get up to on this swanky new forum 🙂
Happy building folks.
Yes please Matt! That would be awesome.

I'll add it to my to-do list! I love microphone projects 🙂

@diyperks that be great if you made a video. but honestly i think tech exists but probably not DIY. you know there are some logitech cameras with arays and stuff. keep up the great work

I just ordered most of the parts, but I'm a complete novice. What wattage should the be resistors have? Trying to find the rotary switch, any suggestions? Hoping to find one with a heavy feel and solid/satisfying click when turning on/off.

When it comes to mic stuff, low wattage resistors are fine. They don't have to deal with much power you see, so can be 1/4w, 1/2w or whatever you like.
I like this rotary switch from BitsBox: https://www.bitsbox.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=116_139&products_id=920

An array mic isn't what's needed here. A PZM should be better as it has excellent sensitivity and great room rejection due to the way reflections reach the capsule. They're also about 6 dB louder than an open capsule due to the way the waves arrive in phase.
A boundary mic can perform a similar service but they do have a more cardioid response compared to the PZM.
Take everything I say with a pinch of salt, I might be wrong and it's a very *expensive* way to learn!
