Addition to the Pleiades K117 microphone single JFET preamplifier post

 (At your risk).

When connecting the Pleiades K117 to the Apple 3.5mm to USB C adaptor, headphones must be connected to the latter otherwise the mobile phone may not recognize it.

SM58 to mobile phone

(At your risk).

Please reduce volume before playing.

Signal path:

Outdoors at SNFCC park -

Shure SM58 at 24in, 45o above head towards nose of singer - 

German Transformer 500 Ohm to 50 KOhm, primary inductance 230mH -

Pleiades K117 JFET microphone preamplifier (schematic on a previous post) -

Apple 3.5mm to USB C adaptor (with Philips in ear headphones connected to)

Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro + 5G

Notes:

To my mind when I listen to it with the Sennheiser HD-580 headphones, it sounds bass or mid bass heavy. The Shure Unidyne B may do the trick as in my experience it can sound with flat frequency response from my mind as producer to my mind as listener without the need to add a frequency response EQ or filter after the microphone.

We need to use a much quieter outdoors place.

The Principle of Least Change in Music

(At your risk).

Least change has great impact on mind perception.

For example:

You Do Something to Me - Paul Weller

The song is written in E minor.

So the first bass is E.

Paul sings E #F G B while bass is E.

Then repeats B while bass goes down to D creating an interval of major 6th.

Then bass goes down to A but as there is nothing at that moment sung the mind of the listener has the perception of prepared major 9th since the distance between bass A and melody B is 9 steps of the scale.

Further reading:

The Bach Manual for his students in composition which can be found at the appendix of Bach's biography by Spitta. I do not know if it is included in newer editions, please check.

The major 3rd major 7th Chord

 

For example.

Bass C (Do) and a higher part playing B (Si).

Accord to the Bach-Niedt manual we also add the 3rd with respect to bass, that is E (Mi).

The beauty can be heard whenever the singer sings "I can't" in every chorus of the song We Are the People - Empire of the Sun.

For more please read the book under construction: "A Letter to Clive Davis" on euroelectron.
