Building a quality USB-C microphone

  • I love this creator’s projects and this one is especially beautiful. The proportions and the brass colors really give this thing a wonderful aesthetic. Do yourself a favor and subscribe to the guy, he really has the hacker mindset in my opinion.

  • I like the project, but, I have to say that the budget specified by the author (30$) is unrealistic: only for the electronic board and microphone capsule the expense is 60+E, I just calculate it with a major electronic supplier I'm regular customer. Then you have to spend roughly the same in brass, associated hardware, etc and around 20-30E for the USB interface. So we are talking about 150+E ( shipment costs excluded ) and saying that you don't need tools, consumables, etc

  • My Blue Yeti doesn’t sound anywhere near as good as his homemade mic.

    The build quality is also really impressive. What a range of skills.
