Knock ears

Post by Wade »

I’m looking for a cheap way to confirm knock and that the pcm is or isn’t actually seeing knock. Has anyone tried this ? https://youtu.be/5KoI35Cj9pE?si=ecvRT82thbYA-5Xm

So they obviously work. What’s your opinion on using just mic vs wiring it up to a proper knock sensor ?
