Tips about How to Build Shotgun Microphones
When you finally get your loved shotgun microphones home after long time waiting, you
must be eager to know how to build it so that it can make the sound recording effect you
want.
Following are the steps to guide you to build the shotgun microphone
1: Decide what frequencies of sound you want to hear.
A simple shotgun microphone
with only a few tubes will be able to pick up only a limited frequency range of sounds.
If
you want to produce a higher fidelity recording with your shotgun mic, you ll need to use
most or all of the 56 feet of tubing you ve acquired.
2: Do some calculations to determine the lengths of the aluminum tubes you ll have to
cut.
Aluminum tubes resonate at particular frequencies to pick up sounds.
Dividing the
speed of sound (1,100 feet per second) by a given frequency will determine the
wavelength.
The length of a given aluminum tube will be half of the wavelength.
3: Cut the tubes to varying lengths based on the
Less
