![]() Line-level output: Unlike traditional mics, Marshmallow has internal circuitry that makes it's output line-level. There is a post about how I made that plot on my blog (no links allowed here). Marshmallow's built-in preamp that solves this, giving it a full, rich sound.įlat Frequency Response: across the entire audible range. As a consequence, they have very poor bass-response, giving them a tinny sound. It boosts the signal and solves impedance-matching issues associated with homemade contact mics.Įxcellent bass response: Other contact mics in the same price range are just piezo discs solderred onto guitar cables. Marshmallow has a builtin preamp that was specifically designed for this purpose. (These examples would require additional software which is not included).īuilt-in mic preamp: Other high-end contact mics require you to buy a separate preamp, often for an exorbitant price. Use as a sensor for scientific and research applications: You can stick Marshmallow to the ground to detect footfalls, you can use it to tell how an object was struck, or, using three, you can triangulate the position of tapping on a wall. Make unusual recordings: You can stick Marshmallow to walls, tables, metal sheets, ceramic teacups, eggplants, etc., and record scraping, scratching, tearing, plucking and other strange sounds. I am currently designing a new model for this, please message me if you are interested.) ![]() (Note - the internal preamp clips when recording loud sounds, for instance when placing the mic directly on the soundboard of a piano or acoustic guitar. 'Electrify' acoustic instruments: Just stick Marshmallow to a guitar, cajon, or whatever, and it will pick up only the sound of the instrument while blocking out external sound traveling through the air. It is used to pick up sound waves traveling through solid objects, without also picking up sounds traveling through the air. Marshmallow is a piezo disc contact microphone with a nice high-impedance preamplifier. ![]()
