  • Condenser mics generally have a much larger diaphragm than dynamic mics. Closer to 1 inch in diameter.

    They generally have a much greater sensitivity and can capture a lot more detail especially in the upper frequencies.

    Another contributing factor is that there is more electronics housed in the microphone body and they require 48 volt power supply to operate. This voltage is often fed from the mixing console via the same cable that the audio from the mic is carried on. Often referred to as phantom power.

    There are also versions that use vacuum tubes in that circuitry within the mic and you might even find dedicated power supplies. These preamp tubes can be an inch in diameter and roughly 3 inches tall, this also increases the physical size of the microphone.

    And then you get to the point of marketing. Make something that resembles what professional studios use and the masses will buy it because it merely looks professional.

    In pro audio it’s often said you can get 90 percent of the result for 10 percent of the cost. That last 10 percent will cost 90 percent.

    In a bedroom podcast setup there enough issues with just the room usually to negate the 10 percent it takes to get to a pro level. In a studio purpose built hundreds of thousands have gone into making the rooms themselves optimal and that last 10 percent starts to matter a great deal more especially in terms of multi track recording with dozens of sources being miced and recorded to separate tracks. The noise of inferior equipment multiplied by those dozens of sources begins to add up into an audible problem.



  • Overvaluing really isn’t an issue causing the housing crisis.

    It is more supply and demand as the real cause. when interest rates were low, investors got involved in buying up homes leading to property values rising even more.

    From a property tax perspective there’s so many variables that contribute to the value of a house that assessment values are based more on average of a neighborhood area instead of on a house by house basis. Unless the house is sold.

    A houses true value is really only known when a sale occurs in the vast majority of cases as the true value is what someone else is willing to pay.

    The last home we lived in was 1200 sqft and assessed at 135k if I remember correctly. We sold at around 230k when our neighborhood caught up to rising property values in the city. New owners stayed for a year adding only a privacy fence and sold for 330k.

    While I think those sale prices are insane, someone else saw the value and agreed to the price.


  • We’ve had the fiber trunk line run through the back yard for 6 months or so. Luckily they have called and installs are running 4 to 6 weeks out at the time they called.

    Feel very lucky fiber is even go an option. We are a good 3 miles from the closest town of 25 or so houses and 20 miles from the nearest city where the fiber originates from. It’s a joint venture with a small company and our electric utility.

    Sort of. The plans we’ve had from at&t for the last 5 years included only 15gb of hotspot usage along with unlimited mobile data.

    Seems like a fair amount of hotspot data except we live in the sticks and mobile has been the only Internet option.

    On the upside were weeks away from gig speed fiber being installed to the house.
