DIY (Do It Yourself) Microphones
Here are some detailed pages on how I made several types of microphones.
I have included circuits, lots of photos, notes, even Mouser (and other) BOM's.When I started doing this, I knew nothing more than how to read a circuit and do some soldering.
I just invested in a Dremel tool, and it has made doing this even more fun.
Small Cardioids - the first ones I built. (with sound samples)
Omni Thinner even then the Cardioids. Great for all kinds of recording. (with sound samples)
Large diaphragm Cardioid - Beautiful vocal microphone. (with sound samples)
