Do-It-Yourself

Homemade microphone with $3 Radio Shack electret mic element

A while back I made two small microphones using condenser microphone elements that cost just over $3 each. Altogether, with cables and connectors, the mics came to about $10 each. The mic elements (RS #270-090) are omnidirectional signal-to-noise ratios of 60dB.

Take a listen. I think these little microphones sound surprisingly good.
