1. Will thick paper work for the cones or no? I currently have them epoxied to the diaphragm of the speaker.
2. How do I make the audio correct for recording so that the RIAA Equalization works correctly on my turntable?
3. What is a good cheap record needle. Or how can I make my own?
4.Is there any other diy heads out there that have all the files already created for a 3D printer?
I will be a using a old 8track stereo fm/am turntable for the platter. This has allot of torque but its a record changer type turntable, So it has a long motor shaft. I will need to figure out how to remove it.
I also have a stepper motor, And a Arduino stepper controller.
The speakers I am currently using are 4ohm 5W speakers.
Eventually I am wanting to add some resistance wire to heat up the head so it cuts through the materiel better.
Would it be best to make a support post that will support the head, and press the recording needle onto the L and R speaker shaft so the vibrations go into the needle?
Before building the lathe itself I want to at least get some sound recorded so I know that the head works.
Any other input would be wonderful. And again I am a complete newbie so my terminology may be off.
And If I am doing something incorrect please tell me.
