OK, I don't normally like to post gearporn of unfinished stuff, but I think this is looking pretty and I'd like to share the metalwork source for anyone who may be currently building a mic. At the rate I am going, and with my backlog on my bench, this mic won't be populated for another few months.
I'm making two of them. The capsule is the BLUE lolipop (pre controversy) for the AKG 451. I used a VR-1 extension tube for a threaded mount. I still have the male end from te VR-1 to mount to the bottom of another capsule too for interchangibility. Heck, I can even screw at C451 head on and have the worlds largest pencil mic.
The metal is from www.lawrencemetal.com. The tube is black powdercoated steel. The end caps are chrome plated (brushed) brass caps, designed to mount over the tubing.
Now I just have to fgure out what is going inside. Gus has some brilliantly evil ideas for me :twisted: . I said he had carte blanche, as long as we could mount a frickin' laser in there somewhere.
You know, now that I think about it, it wouldn't be so stupid to have laser sights on microphines. Imagine being able to point a mic exactly 1" of center cone on a speaker....
