Since initially being commissioned for this build I updated my model from last year and designed it slightly differently. I also was receiving some issues with the impedance of the microphone at first. I went to a few blogs and got some advice to check it on a multimeter and then I managed to fix the issue by rewinding the copper cable wrapped around the microphone.
I spent a lot of time at the creative workshop lab soldering and creating the XLR cable from scratch through Neutrik components and Van Damme tour-grade XLR cable.
In making this one I also broke my old one by attempting to open it to see what I’d done wrong on the new one. I’ll be fixing my old one and using that to field record.
Here are some finished photos of the final product.
I’m going to fix my old Priezor DIY mic and field record with it. I also want to create the other LOM DIY Elektrosluch which is quite different to the Priezor, sonically and physically.
I’m not sure where creating these microphones are taking me but perhaps I’ll use these microphones on recordings and pieces, I don’t think I want the actual microphone to become my portfolio piece.
