Do people really believe this outdated junk can pierce the veil? Any EVPs it captures ends up being unintelligible and low quality, people also mistake radio interference for something paranormal all the time. In short, if you don't use a modern voice recorder then you're either grifting, larping or both.
>>41680583I think you're missing the point. Modern voice recorders won't pick up what they are looking for.
>>41680618I don't think the product recall myth to prevent disembodied voices from being picked up by the device holds any weight. There are plenty of modern voice recorders that can and do pick up EVPs with significantly greater clarity. The DR60 seems to have gotten most of its fame and absurd value from TV shows.
>>41680654The best quality results would require hooking up an external microphone to your recorder via XLR input
>>41680583"Plasma beings in the sky"refers to theories and observations, often from NASA footage, suggesting large, self-illuminated plasma formations (plasmoids) exhibit life-like behavior in Earth's upper atmosphere, interacting with electromagnetic fields, appearing in various shapes (cones, donuts), and showing coordinated movement, suggesting they could be a form of non-biological life or UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) that feed on electrical energy from storms or satellites, rather than traditional solid aliens. While mainstream science investigates plasma phenomena like St. Elmo's Fire or ionospheric bubbles, these specific reports propose genuinely self-aware, living plasma entities
>>41680654Shows helped but there are ohysical differences in microphone types.>>41680711Most old school or dynamic microphones pick up sound by electromagnetism created by the vibration on the diaphragm. Newer microphones like XLR condenser types use the vibration itself as the sound. Any electromagnetism created between that will not be picked up. And that's what they're looking for. Vibrations not caused by The Voice but electromagnetism in the room.
>>41680845So if entities can only manipulate and use the electromagnetism layer itself and not the vibration then surely the DR60 would've fallen out of favour and been replaced by purpose-built and mass-produced paranormal voice recorders that take advantage of this?
>>41680887When was the last time corporations gave absolute power to the people? Use logic.
>>41680897Realistically, there's nothing stopping anybody from designing and then mass-producing (in China) a spiritual-successor to the DR60 to fulfil this niche. Are you suggesting that men in black would suddenly appear at your door and demand that you cease and desist?
>>41680936I'm simply stating companies aren't going to produce new product with old technology. It just doesn't make economic sense. The same way no one is producing CRTs or VHS VCRs.
>>41683047>>41680711So wouldn't a modern dynamic XLR microphone hooked up to a modern portable recorder with an XLR input be sufficient to capture EVPs or is there something else that I'm missing here?
>>41683301I don't believe so. Part of the interference comes from the amount of electricity used to power the microphone. It has to be minimal and I think that's why they choose these cheap portable Dynamics instead because batteries are not enough to overpower anything they may pick up.
>>41680583>find massive lot of digital recorders for next to nothing>create fiction around device to lure in retards>????????
>>41684023The lower a noise floor is, the more sensitive a microphone will be. It does not automatically filter out any kind of noise and only give what you want to hear. This shows a blending of ghost hunting's adoption of old occult superstitions (ghosts are scared of modern tech because of it being new) and a lack of audio knowledge.Before all these modern shows that are more like ghost surveillance, paranormal investigators used external mics hooked up to larger recorders. The whole concept of the paranormal circle being superstitious of new tech and behaving like ghost cops started entirely in the 90s and 2000s.
>>41685570It is you who lacks audio technology. The lower noise floor comes from less electricity flowing. Are you intentionally being ignorant of this?Batteries = less elec / less noise. Cut the bullshit.
>>41685570I don't even know these shows you're talking about. Or the lure of these microphones. But I know for sure you don't know shit about Electronics or microphones. That's the only reason I commented here. I am suspicious.
I'm leaning towards a modern portable XLR condenser mic and recorder being the most prudent choice with it being cheaper, more sensitive and recording in a higher sampling rate and lossless codec.My reasoning is simple, if people can sometimes hear disembodied voices coming from their environment with their ears then there should be no reason why the setup above shouldn't be able to capture these sounds in greater clarity.
>>41685876Because they don't hear it with their ears. They hear it with certain types of microphones that pick up electromagnetic interference. Not vibrations. Read the thread.
>>41685621Batteries are only needed for electret capsules. Most true condensers only require phantom power, and are also the ones with the cleanest signal to noise ratios
>>41685913So anybody claiming to hear disembodied voices, whispers or screams in haunted locations without technological assistance since time began is bullshitting?
>>41685966Cleanest signal for vibration, yes. Not the cleanest for electromagnetic interference which is the entire point of having these older recorders. Read the thread.
>>41686061No, I will not buy an old recorder based off the false notion that ghosts cannot generate their own sonic vibrations and instead need to manipulate pre-existing background noise
