Wow, it's been up for 60 seconds and we've already got 60 views. Thanks for the support guys!

sorry you had to sacrifice your cat for this video. RIP fluffy.

Awesome built! MUCH better than many professional mics!

omg! as an audio engineer myself, this was a great build.

Awesome! Really well done project and video! (as usual)

I only can say: wow. This sounds reaaally good. I didnt know that it is possible to record in such a beautifull quality, even for musicists.

His eyes are brighter than my future

This honestly was one of the most impressive builds I have ever seen! The quality of that mic was astounding!! Can't wait to see the next vid with the pcb printing!

Record your silent computer with it.

WOOOOW!!! Those sound recordings were SO real! I would honestly listen to 1 hour long recordings of the sea, thunder or those trees in the wind. I really felt like I was there.

Mind-blowing sound! I was highly impressed at the end of the video when you played the samples.

Blown away by the DIY chops displayed here and the final results as well. Well done!

Great video. When I first saw the video thumbnail I thought the recording device was mounted on top of a dog's neck. LOL

That clarity, is amazing......

Finding your channel was a real treat, i got out my headphones and mini amp... i'm grinning ear to ear. The sound quality is epic! Thanks for all the videos, i can't wait to catch up!

@DIY Perks Im always blown away by the quality of your videos and projects. Love it

What an amazing build!!!

Your videos always emanate a professional Discover Channel feel...

The quality is amazing! I thought it was just awesome how easily the mic was able to pick up your heartbeat. 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

I don't understand why people "dislike" your videos... You have some of the best content for DIY projects! Keep it up!!

WOW, your probably the best DIY- channel on KZfaq ;)

We love your videos! I hope you go very far in KZfaq 😊

I listened to this on a 5.1 system and it sounded amazing! Keep up the good work!

Boy am I excited for the CNC video... Can't wait! Keep the great videos coming, you do an awesome job!

Great build, keep the good work! Greetings from Lithuania! :)

This just goes to show that DIY can always be better than professional kit, especially when it's you making it.

WOW you can hear your heartbeat! Love the quality of your videos! Both in-depth and easy to understand!

dude..... I swear each one of your projects gets more and more elaborate and amazing. I remember way back when you made the pc control terminal. I swear if you don't go on to do amazing things and make a ton of money I will... well I don't know what I will do but you get what I am saying.

You seem to have a thing for making everything less noisy. :p

I don't suppose you'd be interested in putting out any tutorials or otherwise educational videos about the skills involved in your projects? A lot of the stuff you're talking about, like circuitry, electronics, etc, is waaaay over my head and I'm only catching about half of it. I dunno if you have some kind of background in engineering or if you just do your research on the fly, but yours would be an absolutely *mental* toolset for any DIY'er. Always eager to learn new things, but it's kinda hard finding a good place to start, you know? Anyway, keep up the good work, boss. Always tickled to see the stuff you come up with.

fantastic work, you inspire me even though i haven't built anything myself except for some small customizing work, not worth mentioning. your videos are very comprehensive and clear, keep up the best work i've seen !

Excelent job! I can attest that it sounds amazing!

Hey, could you this microphone to record your *WHOLE* next episode? *:D*

This pisses on my Zoom H2N! Nice build and everything you want from a condenser - warm bottom end too and the fabric seems to have rounded the sometimes harsh top end condensers can have, very natural sounding - impressed! In fact, it sounds more like valve condensers to reel to reel - from memory, but its been 25 years+

You've got one of the best channels on youtube. Great work man, thanks for sharing your creativity.

Very impressive, I will keep this in mind for the future. I really liked the ambient sound tests with the wind in the trees and the water, it gave such a realistic experience.

DIY perks ASMR channel?

Awesome. You should do a kickstarter and sell these. :) BTW what fur did you use??

OMG! This this is just awesome! I really need it for my ASMR projects.

You sir Matthew Perks are indeed a genius! . . You've posted some of the best content I've seen on KZfaq. Thank you for your passion and dedication, I am inspired!

Freaking awesome! You REALLY should sell these! Make a crowdfund!!!! I'd jump on that! Maybe even offer a kit with all the parts and prefabricated boards and instructions for the buyer to assemble (for those with decent hand- eye cordination, but CNC-machine-less non enginers)? I would really like to buy it! Although, I would need it to mount to a mic-stand/boom, but that's a simple mod. Just glue a mic clip to the bottom of the bird feeder and cut a slit in the fur).

That is BAD ASS! Rode should be taking notes; they could sell a mass produced version of your rig for $600 easily.

Oh that was awesome. Amazing build and end product. And the sound, lovely. Great video!

This is one of the coolest DIY videos I have seen yet!

Would you be so kind to share the details of it all like: Total cost for all the componenets Battery time etc. Great that you got a relevant sponsor! As long as the sponsor doesn't effect the content in the video it's great that you can get more revenue for your hard work! Looking forward to your next project!

00:59 you don't have two cameras and I can tell xDDDD, really good video by the way

Your projects are always so inspiring and as usual your video are well thought out.

Wow that sounds so beautiful and peaceful. Amazing work man love the projects.

Haha, i thought this would be the typical quick and dirty shit you see in most channels with "DIY" in the name. Boy was i wrong LOL. That was awesome, you even made a friggin' PCB froms scratch!. Subbed.

Awesome stuff. I don't have the skills to build this, but never the less amazing

That is just as brilliant as the first time I wtached it. After some 15 years on film sets (and an audio avid geek myself), I an assure you've done an amazing task of tuning, positioning, designing something that looks the thing... but most important : does the job perfectly. Bravo ! PS : some sound techs I know should come and check this creation of yours !

Wow What a great piece you built! Congratulations... The part when I hear your fingers and your heart gave me goosebumps.. Great Work!

I HONESTLY THOUGHT YOU PUT SOMETHING ON A DOG

Try to use better op-amp like dual NE5534 for tube warmth sound or OPA627bp for extremely lower noise and better detail in all frequency. TL072 is very very noisy one.

Oh wow! Excellent sounds!

Great seeing you moving into 60p vids, really pleasant to the eye. Keep em going bro.

Pretty great results! but to be completely honest, i think the cheap switching power supply actually introduced some noise into the system... I could only hear that on the thunderstorm, but there are three other possibilities: Either it was the rain that sounded quite a bit like noise, it was youtunes compression that added some noise, or it was my own audio gear, but i don't think the last one was the problem, most likely it was just rain... I am using ATH M50 woth an Onkyo TX-NR414 connected over SPDIF for those intrested.

Just imagine how big his DIY power bank would be if he decided to make it.

as always it is a pleasure to see your work. that mic is amazing, very inspiring! thanks

Those are some professional level recordings right there! Amazing!

WAY over my feeble skills! I'm still trying to build the LED Light panel!

+DIYPerks You should try this mic on your ULTIMATE silent DIY PC, to see how really loud it is :P just an idea

Man, I really wish I could understand all of this in order to make my own microphone kit like yours. This is seriously some really insane stuff that you're making.

WHAT a thoughtful, nicely worded sponsor-thanks! Class act, you.

+DIY Perks : Your a bit confused about difference between the microphones on a handy recorder and the microphones used in a studio application. Condensor microphones which is the type of microphone you are using here comes in 2 different types; LDC(large diaphragm condensor) and SDC(Small Diaphragm condensor). both of these microphones are used in recording studio applications (as they both have different frequency responses and characteristics based on the size of the diaphragm, and an engineer will use these to achieve different results). Handy recorders generally use Small diaphragm condesors in an X/Y stereo array, as this is the most common way to capture a stereo recording. When i go out to capture atmos and soundscapes i always employ the use of SDC's based on the fact that they replicate high frequencies better(which are extremely important with Atmos/soundscapes) and they generally aren't as sensitive meaning less self noise. I understand that it seems like you will get better sound but with mic technique it really has to do with which mic will work better in which situation. And for the example that you have given SDC's are defiantly a better option. (sorry engineers rant) Also i think the noise coming from the zoom actually has to do with the cheap preamps inside and not the actual microphone, a more accurate demonstration would be having both mics plugged into the same preamp with the same gain setting, then you will really get an idea of the microphones self noise.

If you were to sell these... How much would you charge?

Truly exceptional sound quality! I came to this video because I enjoyed your very good diy absorption panel video just minutes before. Subscribed, cool beans.

Nice build, and good on you for sharing it here. Kudos and continued success.

You have to at least sell those preamps to us, because not everybody has a CNC machine to make a board with!

Who would want to take that on a hike? XD

Brillent. That is really impressive. especially love your determination to make your own preamp

Wow that’s amazing !!! What a great seashore noise ! Incredible! Normally sound engineers have to combine recordings from near and far for this rich sound !

You should manufacture these and sell them. I am sure the broadcast media world would buy them.

With the thumbnail I thought you attached a device to a cat to make a microphone

I'm looking forward for your next DIY project!

You are genius my friend! And the sound quality of your videos is amazing. Many times using my earphones I have headaches. I watched 5 of your videos one after another and I didn't even noticed i have my earphones on. Amazing. Keep up the good work, I hope one day I'll make some of your projects!

I think I might want to make one of these... _looks at price of one microphone_ . Ok, maybe not...

TAKE MY MOONEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYY

very good quality on the sound tests, good work.

I just put on my headphones and just wow! WOW! Of my opinion the sound quality is stunning! It's just amazing how you can make this good microphone! I'm excited to see you're next video! Keep up the great work! ^_^

I can honestly say you're not a computer nut until you cnc your own chips.

I don't know whether it's my cheap motherboard-included audio or my cheap, plebian headphones, but I don't hear much difference ;_;

really awesome microphone!!! congratulations, i love the way you do your diy! i'm an electronics lover (i like also informatics and mechanics but electronics are my best!) and rarely i see projects so well made!!! beautiful.. and your mic as absolutely an awesome audio quality!

You are really onto something with this build! When listening to the samples it was almost like I was standing near the sea or those trees!

I thought it was a dog in the thumbnail.

Dat 1080p 60fps tho

Wow! Those sounds of the sea and the wind was pretty immersive!

It sounds great! Love your channel!

you need to think about selling your products

Looks like Donald Trump

I don't really have any situation that I would need half of your builds in, but I love watching your channel!

wow! I mean WOW! This is my kind of insane DIY project. I'm putting this on my to do list. Incredible work. Great job!

That is an incredible build! well done

Matt. You have the best DIY videos ever. and I mean that literally. I just wish you could upload more videos.

That is a really splendid build you've done. Very impressive!!!

Nice job!! Love all the work you put in to this project! :)

You know a mic is good when it can capture your heartbeat pretty far away with litterly no noice! Great job!!!

Top job there sir, well done!

Absolutely brilliant! I loved it, really great work!

your videos are great, you present them very well
