Jun 19, 2007 11:23 pm Our hot tubs (where I work) use some sort of transponder which makes the shell of the tub like a speaker but the transponders itself are kept dry. I would think that the opposite could be done to make a mic.
Jun 19, 2007 11:58 pm A 57 (or the like) in a waterproof container will do it. Just drill a hole for the cable and use hot glue to seal the hole. Also hot glue around the lid. It ain't perfect, but you'll get some sound!
Jun 20, 2007 12:50 am Ooo what about a pzm mic on the outside of a tub?
Jun 20, 2007 06:37 am A PZM would pick up hemispherically using the outside of the tub as the boundary, no?

Jun 22, 2007 09:59 pm The one Herb found is one of the cheaper ones. But indeed it can be done on the cheap by using a ziplock baggy and the hotglue method. I would find a real cheapy though for doing it.
