I made my own preamp with the MM kit, and can confirm that it's the same with my homemade piezo mic's. Turning the potentiometer down and the recording volume up solves the problem. I actually have up to 4 piezos connected to the same preamp.
Hello, Michael I recently purchased the Metal Marshmallow Pro and also received two DIY phantom kits from my mailbox. I'm so excited about the pro version! I capture everything, even during on-location recording sessions, which allows me to mix the sounds for clearer and more detailed tiny movements. Furthermore, when using recordings in slow-motion videos, I get bright audio even when pitched down, thanks to the ultrasound capabilities. I truly appreciate your work-this is the best contact mic I've ever used. As for the DIY kits, I'm planning to make a hydrophone using your preamplifier and either a cylindrical or spherical PZT. I'm not sure if it will work, but if it does, I think it will be fantastic. In theory, this device should capture vibrations in 360 degrees, like an omnidirectional microphone. I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts on this idea. Cheers!
Bought a couple of these mics. Very happy with them! Very well protected against outside interference. For future versions: could the chosen cable material be more bendy? Sometimes hard to place the mic cause the cable is so strict. Hope you understand what I mean.
I do know what you mean, I've been looking at other cable options (for other reasons), but I haven't found anything that is a good electrically as the current one. I'll keep thinking about it.
To increase the size of the plate reverb effect, you could aux send the source pitched up (resampled), record it at 96kHz (to capture higher frequencies), then slow it back down to the original pitch.
Well made product! Have gathered lots of great recordings with it, preamp and range of frequencies are fantastic. Thanks for making sure there's protection from high amplitude impacts - I've dropped mine a few times, still works just as well! Any thoughts on how to minimize wind noise pickup? Maybe like a 'deadcat' style cover that goes right up over the unit?
Thank you very much for the explanation!

Thank you! Can we build a plate reverb with one of these? If so can you record a video about it, please? :)
That should work -- you have got me thinking about this now, I just might do that!
@@metalmarshmallowllc Wow! It would be great, cheers!

I'm glad you like it. I made a little tent out of a plastic bag and sticks that i use to minimize wind noise.
