Just stumbled across this wacky thing on Reverb:

It certainly is interesting! Apologies if this goes against any forum rules.

Edgy design and exclusive components. Such a bargain, only 10.134,68 €.
I'll take two

Well, that is a thing, that exists, and is, umm, $10k. Seems reasonable. Uses the absolute top of the line, most respected in the business capsule, from, umm, MicParts, and a JJ tube, and clearly well thought out acoustic design principles. I really hope someone buys it, and I'm confident someone will.

Well, I suppose this mic will finally convince anyone who doesn't believe that head basket design has an impact on sound.

I would give no cent for his crap

SpongeBob SquareMic . . . To me it looks like a piece of Brutalist architecture.

JML - "Joyless Microphone Lunacy".

Claims on Instagram that he "Shot it out against a bunch of other CK12 mics and blew them all out of the water." - so whadda we know?

It looks like an ultrasonic device for driving away mosquitoes, rodents and other pests!

It looks like an ultrasonic device for driving away mosquitoes, rodents and other pests!

...or a military device for jamming drones!

Price, acoustics, sonics, choice of major-parts, and the marketing aside, I still think it looks cool!

I agree, if you leave all these aspects out of the equation, I like the design. Somehow cool, I have a heart for such a DIY aesthetics

Looks like a cheap tube mic re-cased to me. Avantone etc?

 

[micolas]

I have serious doubts about the internal acoustics of the microphone body

Nope, you can read "MicParts" on the bottom of the tube daughterboard...

Cue the “etc” etc. Good spot

The OPT is also from microphone parts...

However, the power supply and the case are actually standard for inexpensive Chinese microphones.

OK, now the price is starting to make sense . . .

Any guesses what that brute might weigh?

This one will only produce square waves.

Definitely thinking inside the box.
