This is what happened when I connected an external microphone to my video camera. I made this late in 2004 or early 2005, and there is more of Isis the cat here.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackThat microphone is HUGE!!
that is a surgical quality soldering joint i must say.
i still cant believe you swallowed that mic to record “stomach sounds”
Actually the microphone is about three eighths of an inch in diameter and yes the soldering job was quite tedious.
I used to pull microphones like that out of cheap old broken boomboxes. They are so amazingly small and some even had somewhat decent fidelity.
Weatherman! Make Isis PUMP by the mike! (So you will have to bring out the Bissell)
To the pump, to the pumps, to the pump-pump-pump!
I found a microphone like this in a telephone handset. It was definitely not a Western Electric phone. As for the Bissell, it is broken so Isis had better not pump.
When I look at Isis there I can just hear the purr. I would bet if you buried that little mic right between her front paws in that shot, you would get a great 25-50Hz rumble that would do a little sub-woofer proud. I’m assuming she’s grown accustom to the presence of microphones in her world by this time.
