I don't wanna use any plastic covers shells etc.
Tea ball mic looks great and steamy. Problem is tha it sound tinny and
high frequencies. Maybe if I make it right it don't sound ? This looks great but too big http://handmademusicclubhouse.com/photo/crystal-element-harp-microphone-2. Bullet mics are great.
First I need to find right microphone element. I Like to have vintage sound.
I was thinking to dynamic mic. For Tea egg etc. Its to big
second I need shell. Maybe I can find something in hardware store or some store.
Tea ball sieve and small sieve looks great for bullet mic front cover.

If U get the Dynamic Mic element, then use a 10Kohm Audio Pot for Volume, U should be fine,I would use the Bigger Element for it,smaller ones rattle too much.
This is the type of volume pot i use in my harp mic`s..Bourne 10k 3/4 turn
This one has Shure [ green bullet ] guts in it
I may have put my post in the wrong place (I'm new here) ;-)
So here it is again, (Maybe I'm just starved for attention)
Hey those are some great looking mics!! What I used for a shell is the end caps for hain link fence posts with an ABS insert that is threaded that accepts sink tail piece slip nut. My computer crashed and I lost all my pictures!!
What is the name of that molding compound?
Maybe I can use some sort of transformer ?
I find that I can buy Impedants-trafo 10 Kohms / 1 Kohms
I think I need Impedance transformer what makes Impedance right for guitar amp.
I looked on google for in-line impedance transformers and it seems low to high is:
low-impedance input of 200 to 250 ohms to a high-impedance output of 50,000 ohms
But yes, you would need a transformer to go from low to high.
I live in estonia. Buying form ebay is more expensive than buying in store.
Well I think the first mic element you posted will work, just remember it'll be mic level, not instrument level
You have a pic of the Shure R-198 element that can be easily wired Hi Z or Lo Z.
I'm putting mine in a tomato paste can with a screen sound hole cover.

A buying option for the mic: R198 on Amazon.com
Which one recommend ?
