Re: internal mic question

Thanks Nick. I found one in my junk box. I picked it up 20 years ago. I knew I would need it someday. I also found a headset from WWII I had saved.

Re: internal mic question

The jacks appear to be standard phone jacks, but they are not. They are the sealed variety. They cost more (can't remember exactly, maybe it was around $10?), but they don't leak air. Leaking would be a bad thing.

Re: internal mic question

The one I had in the ole junk box is a commercial sealed, rectangular black plastic enclosed jack. The panel thickness dimension = Panther wall thickness. I drilled and tapped and then hardened the threads with C.A. It threads tightly. The element is from an Audio Technica I found laying around. Sounds pretty good!

Re: internal mic question

Craig,
I use . what is called, a "1/4" flush mount jack".
They are sealed and do not leak air.You can find them in most music stores. I know Peavey offers them as an accessory item. You can also order them from music supply companies. Carvin has them listed in their magazine. They run about $12 at the store, about $6 if you order them.

Re: Re: internal mic question..Jude?

Hi ya'll,
when I plug a cord into my jack, the signal cuts in and out. Do the jacks wear out? Is it common?

I generally use a wireless airline guitar transmitter which is about as big as your thumb and does not cause any problem, probably because there is no side pull.

any comments?

thanks

Yes, the jack can "wear out". It's not a common thing, but I have had to replace them in the past.
