Turning a Stethoscope... Into a Microphone?!

[@truephsycoyt4411]

could you advise how can i record normal heart sound and lung sound of animals specially dogs.

[@soumitra001]

I have created a DIY electronic stethoscope using the chest piece and connecting it to condenser mic over the tube. While I am able to hear all outside sound , I am not able to hear any body sound at all (heart/lungs) . The same chest piece when connected to tube of stethoscope works well . I am using audacity software for recording. I would appreciate any suggestions for resolving this . Thanks

Where's part 2 friend? Could you link it in the comments? I tried looking through the videos list on your account page, but was not able to locate it.

[@danieles6684]

Damn, finally got around to trying this and it didn't work out well. I basically can only get scratching noises. Even a heartbeat is really faint or not perceptible at all. Wondering if I did something wrong, but I bought the exact same parts and don't really see how I could have screwed it up. I used a Behringer C-2 for the mic, but everything else is the exact same.

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

They stopped making the CAD e70 that I recommend in this video, so I recommend getting the Audio Technica AT2021 instead!

[@sarahpoirier1]

Great, thanks for your answer! And it'll captures heartbeat as well? Soumitra Bhattacharyya's stethoscope seemed unabled to do so....

[@TheSpinninHead]

Thanks for this useful video. Could you tell the approx frequency response (x-y Hz) of this stethoscope?

[@BluestreakCorollaXRS]

I recorded an automotive stethoscope via my cell phone in the past but I didn't use any tape and it was quite the pain to execute. I'm going to put something together today with a very large microphone. How would I send you a picture of it when I'm done?

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

This is where I'll show you how to make a really cool sound design tool, which will allow you to record tons of new material, like your very own heartbeat! If you'd like to skip straight to where we start building, go to 4:06

[@julikanatalie1766]

Hey! Such a cool video, thanks a lot! I was wondering if it's also possible to turn it into some sort of "live speaker" if you know what I mean? So it's not recorded, but a live amplified sound that you can play over stereo or any other kind of sound speaker system. Hope you read this and can answer my question :)

[@Megollyen1]

That's awesome! I've known about the use of this on HLD but never actually thought of doing it myself. Definitely gonna try it!

[@mrsukki8158]

Sir ...how to avoid noise ? In the circuit....do u know how to design filter circuit for 2hz( heart sound frequency)?

[@spacerpunk]

Great!! Wanting to make one for a time now. Thanks for the details. Awesome!

[@huluhulu2222]

Interesting! I'd love to hear your results. Also, any chance if a Sennheiser MKH416 microphone would work with this?

[@Setherian]

How about sticking inside the steto tube a lav mic instead of the condenser?

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Yes! I tried that recently and it does work!!

[@danieljohnson3085]

This is really cool! I think I'll have to try this. I laughed out loud when you casually mentioned recording sounds through a stethoscope hooked up to a hose spigot in your Sound of Hyper Light Drifter pt 2 video, and wondered how exactly that would look. Thanks for showing us!

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

You are very welcome!

[@TTFAF4ever]

Great idea! This sure looks like a lot of fun :) Thanks!!

[@DeclanRyanRising]

Am I missing the results? cant find the part 2 video just another part 1 video.

[@risbill1]

I know this is old but you could have just used a lavaliere mic in the end of the tube.

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Yup! I've tried it. Results weren't as good, but it can work.

[@ADarkDreamer]

Greetings friend. I enjoyed this video. But I know nothing of sound. I'd suggest putting some of the sounds (final product) at the beginning of the video so we know what to expect. keep it up.

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Thanks! I'll be doing that in the next one.

[@hindikaumparast6715]

That, he didn't do deliberately. He'll make you another idiotic video. And when you try the contraption, you'll find it doesn't work! Completely de-indianized!

[@DrRaviKiranVet]

Really great... 😍😍😍😍😍

[@Duriel1000]

Any to buy off the shelf?

[@xbrandi12345x]

I won't ever be able to afford to make this!! The microphone alone is over $200 but still a cool video.

[@sarahpoirier1]

Hi! Wonderful! I'm curious : is there any way you can also capture voice with that (just like a piezo can do if you're close enough to the membrane)? Would like to use it for multiples purposes in a show!

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Yes! It will sound very muffled, but it will capture voice when it's up close to your mouth!

[@Goob48]

That's pretty neat!

[@ben_burnes]

very interesting! am gonna have to try this one :)

[@r3sound691]

What other option comes to mind besides the e70? I ordered that model and received the e60. That company no longer carries the e70. Now I can't find the e70 for less than $199.00 - Thanks in advance

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Oh crazy! Any small diaphragm condenser works. If you want a good cheap one, look up 12 gauge mics. www.12gaugemicrophones.com/

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

The green12 should suit just fine.

[@r3sound691]

Thats a very interesting mic. What are your thoughts on the Audio-Technica AT2021? www.amazon.com/dp/B005OCZOA0/ref=dp_cerb_1

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Also a great choice!

[@ceciliafbrown373]

Diego is the best! ;-)

[@samdavid8531]

Does it need to be a condenser?

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

It'll certainly help. Dynamic microphones aren't nearly as sensitive so they may not pick everything up.
