[sdiy] NEWBIE REQUEST; PIEZOS

[PATTERSON]

Hey all,

My first post to this list!

To cut to the chase, I am looking to 'mic' up some metal, and associated
materials. I have some Piezo Electric Transducers, and some 1/4" jacks, mono
and stereo.

I can solder alright, and that is no trouble.

My question is; is it okay to wire the Piezos to the jack, and patch that
into my mixer, amp, speakers? Or, do I need a circuit, power (psu) or
something else? Can you please offer your suggestions, circuits, or
what-not?

Further, what is the ring/tip/sleeve configuration on a standard 1/4" jack?

Any, and all help would be great!

Thanks heaps,

NIKOLAS
