Here is something I rediscovered this week. My late wife Mirjam, for her doctoral research, needed to interview past and present missionaries. Early trials revealed that standard recorders and microphones were far from ideal. Either one needed to set up both interviewer and interviewee, which could make interviewees self-conscious, or one or the other was not sufficiently clear. So I designed and built a preamp with omnidirectional microphone, which one placed on a surface between interviewer and interviewee. The only time it failed was when a propeller aircraft flew overhead. It was published -- not for electronic originality, but for the idea.
