DIY Ribbon Microphone

Posted on | March 24, 2008 |

So, to dovetail on the concept of the last post (Cheap Gear…), if you’re technically inclined maybe you should try building your own ribbon microphone.

A good friend of mine (and musician/engineer/mad scientist) Rick Wilkinson has created a DIY Ribbon Microphone plan.

To hear what one of his mics sounds like you can download a recording of me playing acoustic guitar recorded by a stereo ribbon he designed/ built.
