Hi,
maybe your electret mic had no power? Like other condenser mics (it's
actually a kind of condenser mic) it needs to have a small power source.
See following page for more info on microphone powering:

hello, thanks for all the replies!
This won't work with the AK1, because the level of those electret-mics
is to low. The mic-input in AK1 is working for other mics like dynamic
mics or condensator mics. Or am i missing something? (I'm not really
educated in microphonics.)
Anyway, I found now my fast workaround: -(because the performance will
be in less than 2 weeks, and I have to hack telephons and a lot of
other stuff)- The cheap microphon goes into my mp3-player and will be
amplified there in monitor mode and goes direct into the Audio Kontrol 1.
thanks again- When I have the time I build this "amp-circuit"..
cheers

Hi,
I use an AK1 myself.
It has two inputs channels, one with a mic preamp (and also 48V)
built in it.
For your "cheap mic" (mono I suppose?) it is likely that all you
need is an adapter to convert it to the relevant size... 1/4inch
or XLR. Pop it into input channel 1 and select the input source to
"MIC" using the front button.
If your "stereo mic" is one of those that are battery operated and
has 1 output connector, it is likely you will need a connector to
split the output to feed the two inputs in front of the AK1.
And last, if your stereo mic is NOT battery operated, you will
probably need at least one external mic preamp cause the AK1 has
only one built in.
If you can send me a photo of the mic including the connectors, I
maybe able to forward you to the necessary adapters.
hei,
I have a question not directly related to PD. But since this
list is my favorite audio and device-hackers list I ask it here.
(maybe you can refer me to a nice list about topics like that.)
I have some microphones - a very cheap small microphone and a
stereo mic- they work fine to record into my mp3-player.
But I want to record directly with those mics into pd trough
my soundcard (audio kontrol 1). And it's not amplified.
How can i build a hardware amplifier for those mics- or buy
something like that? any suggestions?
(I prefer to buy something- since I have to hack allready a
lot of other devices...)
thanks for any hints
cheers
