it doesnt say which side of the barrel is positive or negative, I assume the inside is positive

2018-01-30 23:09:36 UTC  

that's often the case

2018-01-30 23:10:05 UTC  

older music keyboards n shit had it reversed for god knows what reason

2018-01-30 23:11:53 UTC  

i mean the reason is there as was explained by Dave from EEVBlog some time ago

2018-01-30 23:11:58 UTC  

but it still fucks with people's heads

2018-01-30 23:13:30 UTC  

its quieter with the makeshift phantom power

2018-01-30 23:13:34 UTC  

magic

2018-01-30 23:18:20 UTC  

well, it wasnt the polarities

2018-01-30 23:19:31 UTC  

i have a huge 18V 6A power brick laying around but im not sure if i want to die just yet

2018-01-30 23:20:38 UTC  

i'll just have to make due with my motherboard for now

2018-01-30 23:20:46 UTC  

i'm not even sure how phantom power works

2018-01-30 23:22:23 UTC  

It trickles a bias into the balanced audio lines to power the mic electronics

2018-01-30 23:22:42 UTC  

Which is decoupled from the output audio

2018-01-30 23:27:16 UTC  

its not bad if my mouth is inches away from the microphone, but its mounted vertically above me and would block my vision

2018-01-30 23:29:16 UTC  

and all these used interfaces are $30 at least

2018-01-30 23:29:21 UTC  

i might as well buy something new at that price

2018-01-30 23:29:45 UTC  

i think i'll wait to mod my bmeme first and see where i should go from there

2018-01-30 23:30:58 UTC  

actually

2018-01-30 23:31:19 UTC  

for the price of the cheapest used interface I can find, i can literally just buy a new microphone and chink phantom power

2018-01-30 23:50:34 UTC  

Friend let me listen to the SE535s today

2018-01-30 23:50:45 UTC  

Good lord, they were nice

2018-01-30 23:51:07 UTC  

Are there any chi-fi alternatives to them that give a similar sound?

Cheers!

2018-01-30 23:53:36 UTC

2018-01-30 23:53:39 UTC  

535s are $450

2018-01-30 23:53:40 UTC  

jesus

2018-01-30 23:56:27 UTC  

Yeah, they were nice, but not something I'd be able to splurge on <:pepestressed:327933525124841482>

2018-01-30 23:56:38 UTC  

And thanks for the link

2018-01-31 01:41:30 UTC  

535's are pretty bad

2018-01-31 01:41:47 UTC  

if they were sold at like under $200 they might be alright

2018-01-31 01:42:35 UTC  

hear nothing but the bass

2018-01-31 01:43:48 UTC  

Does anybody have any idea what size foam tips to use with the ZSR

2018-01-31 01:44:00 UTC  

Was looking through the head-fi thread and a few were mentioned

2018-01-31 01:44:04 UTC  

Still no clearer to me

2018-01-31 01:46:27 UTC  

wtf
