14 Gauge House Wire

Posted by YeahDoIt on May 15, 2011 at 7:16am in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

I found some 14 gauge house wire in the dumpster. Amazing stuff. I can bend it and it holds it's shape.

Been using a aluminum tripod purchased at a resale store for USA $ 4 as a lightweight microphone stand. Using a $ 11 Audio Technica ATR 1100 microphone, works well. Bent some 14 gauge wire into a microphone clip, wraps around the end of my tripod. Now I have a microphone and stand that works pretty well and didn't cost much.

    Bend 14 gauge wire, tape piezo microphone to the end... voila instant headset microphone. Working on improvements, but it works and doesn't cost much.
