In the recording studio or on stage it can be used on pianos, guitars and other stringed instruments, or even percussion.  It can be used as a plate reverb pickup or wooden stomp box mic.  We even created this Tin Can Microphone out of stuff we found in the trash (as illustrated in the product photos).\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Cortado is also the perfect accessory for a low-fi geek or a field recording enthusiast.  Discover the sounds inside the pipes in your apartment building, or in bridge suspension cables, even in melting ice.  Anything that vibrates or resonates with an audible frequency can be captured by this contact mic.  Several field recording enthusiasts around the web use this circuit to record some pretty cool stuff; check out these links:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/zeppelin-design-labs\/sets\/cortado-contact-mic-field-recordings\"\u003eCortado Field Recordings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/the-first-rule-of-contact-mic-club\"\u003eThe First Rule of CONTACT MIC Club\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wavreport.com\/2017\/04\/23\/getting-connected-with-contact-mics\/\"\u003eGetting Connected With Contact Mics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/maaheli.ee\/main\/building-contact-microphones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBuilding Contact Microphones\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cortado kit includes everything you need to build the circuit, complete with a male XLR output, mounting hardware, and several shielding options.  Requires phantom power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cortado MkII is under the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eCreative Commons Share-Alike\u003c\/a\u003e license, which means you are free to add or build upon this circuit idea in any way your creativity allows, but any derivatives must be shared using the same license.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca name=\"recordingnotes\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eStudio Band Recording Utilizing Only Cortado Mics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nRecording Notes:\u003cbr\u003e\nEvery sound in this song was recorded with the original Cortado. All instruments were recorded using the standard Surface Contact Mic configuration (in the tin box). The vocals were recorded using the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.instructables.com\/id\/The-New-and-Improved-Tin-Can-Microphone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e“New and Improved Tin Can Microphone” as described by our Instructable\u003c\/a\u003e. The placement of the Cortados on each instrument was fairly haphazard. The tracks were recorded using the first placement we tried. The acoustic guitar was mic’ed with two Cortados on the soundboard, both about 1 inch behind the bridge, near the low E string and high E string. The upright bass also used two Cortados, just below either side of the bridge. The snare used one Cortado on top of the head, muted by one layer of cotton fabric. The \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/percolator-2w-amp-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ePercolator 2W Tube Amp\u003c\/a\u003e was used for electric guitar. The 1×8 speaker cabinet was mic’ed using two Cortados, one taped to the magnet of the speaker, the other taped to the outside of the cabinet. We were pleasantly surprised that this mic arrangement captured such good tone from the electric guitar. All tracks were recorded with Logic Pro 9 and a minimal amount of EQ and effects were used… some compression, reverb, and a bit of delay on the electric guitar.
