This is such a great concept! I've been fashioning similar Lo-Fi carbon microphones out of old telephone handsets from the 60s and 70s in my garage. They're battery powered and pretty low-tech, but tons of fun!
thats crazy, i literally just did the same thing few days ago. ive loved telephone mics for a minute. and yes immediately i noticed that i couldn't use the mouthpiece and with the power of the interwebs i managed not to shock myself to death a had me a mic. only just recently made the carbon one though. try it with harmonica!!! interesting for sure
This mic is perfect for recording 60s style garage rock stuff maybe not for vocals tho its a bit to lofi for vocal in my taste however it does sound good
I've wondered about these for ages, got a small collection even, but too it could be fun changing out the applied voltage to the carbon as I've a feeling that lower voltages could make it sluggish whereas higher is more 'active'?
@@LAURISDIYCHANNELTV My understanding is that the applied voltage kinda floats the carbon granules, creates a charge in them so they can bounce around, as it were, therefore (I'm guessing) more voltage equals more precision, greater quality, clarity?
also dude is one hell of musician!!! and his quirky antics are just a bonus. blown away for sure. every video

A truly magnificent time to be alive
Old people do sound funny ;) I cant wit to see what you do next!

Hilarious. I'll be a fan as long as you keep doing electronics. 😊
@@jobbe-wijnen I’m sure i’ll continue making both electronic and acoustic projects to the very end! Cant stop!
Just love it, please make more!😊
bg music during the build is so so good, the ending too
Thanks! 😊 at some point i do want to release some of my background songs so that everybody can freely use them!
That’s awesome!
You’re awesome!
My wildly off topic suggestion (or is it!?!): get a Shinto rasp, it will make you happy :^)
Yes please!! I do want one and i’m sure i’ll buy one sooner or later! 😍
@@LAURISDIYCHANNELTV They are quite cheap! I love mine, it's so versatile :^)
Convert a cheap 14 inch marching snare into a floor tom that can also turn into a snare drum by disengaging the wires thatd be a dope diy video

Maybe i will at some point do some experiments with carbon capsules! I have no idea if the voltage affects the sound or just the volume

That's just a talented salt shaker.
