Making a lapel microphone

16 Jan

I found a very cheap and small microphone at a shop called Biltema here in Norway. I thought I would just buy it to test it since it was so cheap. After some tests I was quite surprised about how good the sound quality was. Therefore I tried to make a lapel microphone out of it. My solution is a bit simple, but if you use some time, you could make something very nice =) The microphone is called “mini microphone” and the supplier is “Biltema”. Unfortunately I think it’s only sold in Scandinavia. But check out your local shop. They should sell something similar =)

    a lavaliere is very similar, but it is different in the way that it cannot be put on a collar, it must be taped to your cheek

    Its AU$20 so final price depends on the exchange rate of the country your in. But its complete with a clip and cable. Or you could get a shotgun type designed for video camera use for AU$50, with the bracket supplied it looks like it mounts to the camera’s hot shoe. Ill be looking at the shotgun type for my personal use in the near future.

    For the people in Australia, NZ, UK, US and Canada, you can buy the mic with clip already attached from Jaycar Electronics quite cheap.

    Nice, Sounds good. You should compare the quality to the built in mic of your iMac.
