I want to do the same thing for genealogical interviews with my family however I'm wondering if you have a more complete description of which microphone you find works best for you in this way and exactly how you attached it to the cap. Thanks and thanks for the idea! Jack Hello Adam,

I guess rigging it up to point a little lower could be slightly better, but the quality from this configuration is great. Adam Tom,

Is it towards you (your forehead), down, or forwards (towards the interviewee)? Thanks, Tom Gosse It’s hard for me to tell from the photo which way the mic is facing. Is it towards you (your forehead), down, or forwards (towards the interviewee)?

Thanks,
