How to make your own Contact Mic (no solder)

[@holliei5144]

Thank you to the one who posted this video i just made my very first pic up mic for my ukulele and it works. I am so happy now i dont have to buy an electric ukulele .

[@pierpa_76pierpaolo]

Interesting!!! But does it work and up to what depth in front of a 40 cm wall? I would like to superimpose (obviously making the minimum isolations ......) 5\6 disks to have 6X amplification. Do you also use an amplifier? What working voltage did you choose? Thank you very much.

I love the nosey cat smack @2:38

Yes this vey interest ing and very easy

[@mohdnajeem2857]

Thanks for your help to makeing yes brilliant

[@katkatCSI]

lol he threw the cat down

[@themonitos1154]

is really necessary to throw the cat out or can i just jump that step?

[@madeiraislander]

that's the most importante step in making a contact mic :)

"I'm helping!"

[@kharnakcrux2650]

lining the piezo with a styrofoam packing peanut also works great. no glue needed.

[@nikhilkanakamedala312]

There were no impedance issues? Or maybe you connected the mono to a nice amplifier?

[@JeNyCroisPas]

Does glue make a good phonic insulation ? Excuse for my bad english and thanks for the answer !

[@TomMcRand]

thanks. i have always wondered how to do that. can you do the thing where you switch the wires on a transistor radio so it becomes a guitar amp?

[@DDBAA24]

I have an official stethoscope that an ERl doctor gave to me I wanted to make something like this that would be able to easily hear through walls. This will work with no mods , but I want to amplify the audio and then convert the analog to digital signal so it can be saved. Would a standard contact mic be able to do the same , I'd rather not butcher this Stethoscope if I do not have to .

[@RenUnderscore]

wait... electricty can travel through the glue? because you didnt even connect the cables to the other specific cables, so it also finds its way?

[@filenotfound__3871]

Bad day? YEET the cat across the room

[@luislugo2391]

Instructions unclear... got attacked by cat

[@arctictimberwolf]

This video should be Titled: *_How to make a Stethoscope!_*

[@compuwise]

Pretty good video! Good information. Thanks!

[@MrDeadend1973]

what kind of elements were those? Like your video, ill probably try it in the next couple of days!

[@Ashroyer86]

Great video Buddy. Just what I needed.

[@amirgedon]

How about make diy preamp and connect to piezo..that might be fair..

[@a54635]

a preamp for a piezo is not a good idea because a piezo is very very high volume already. it produces its own electricity see wikipedia

[@deloopooled]

Just a piezo an audio jack, wire and tape. Have fun!

[@mattthetechguy5057]

Great video! End a little abruptly.

[@ahlyquelodenquai4725]

Can you use like school glue, do u have to use hot glue

[@klemenstrupeh8072]

+Ahlyque Lodenquai as long it is well glued.. it does not matter =)

[@haloskycrash]

As long as you eat some like Ralph from the Simpsons.

[@xanthofficial]

thanks! works great!

[@hasithaweerasinghe5513]

What is the disadvantages of pizzo mic?

[@BGLENN-dp4tx]

It lacks of dynamic range/frequency response.

[@pouyanahsani]

do piezo transducers bend?

[@harrycanyon633]

poor kitty

[@zerogravity121]

Awesome thanks!

[@Sophia-tf6yi]

Please, it doesn't seem to work for me. I put the piezo buzzer and the stereo cable (I know you said mono but the end I am using is mono even though the cable is stereo) and it doesn't seem to work!! No sound other than noise (the same I get if the piezo buzzer is not in contact with the stereo cable)

[@haloskycrash]

Connect the Left and Right wires (red and green usually) to the positive side of the mic.

[@obineg5752]

i was coming here for the cat and you push it away

[@adventurously_random]

bad kitty lmao

[@ALASKASCHOICEMUSICVIDEOS]

too cool!

[@compuwise]

Poor cat! ;p

[@ΓιάννηςΙωαννίδης-λ1σ]

yeeeeeaa

[@DavidBryantsTranscendent]

Dean Markley sells almost exactly the same thing but there's costs like 25 bucks. lol

[@IC4N7C]

Also heard PEE-ZOH.

[@Jaldagar666]

I'm dealing with a hum when I touch it

[@MrSinoline]

Looking piezo element within the oscilloscope shows that you have a positive pulse from the red wire when you tap.it. This indicates that the wiring is reversed, no wonder you have hum when you touch it. Connect the red wire to the center lead to the shielded wire at the mic. and black to the shield. This connects the outside of the diaphram of the microphone to ground so you should have no more problems when touching it :-)

[@jacksonscofield7809]

@@MrSinoline thanks for the tip!

[@shanerigsby9030]

pie + zo? :\ pee + A + zo :)

lol poor cat~

[@mirai1209]

I wouldn't trust those

[@IC4N7C]

You're pronouncing it all wrong. PEE-AY-ZOH.
