Building a CB Gitty Tin Can Microphone Kit
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- I decided to build one of these microphone kits from CB Gitty. I even made a cool little modification to it so I can use the mic on a standard mic stand. This is a cool little project for anyone wanting a lofi sounding mic.
You can purchase the kit here: www.cbgitty.co...

That dowel trick was all I needed to see right now
Thanks for checking it out. The dowel did work out really nicely.

Fun! I want to try that. I want one! Ha- its so neat! My grandpa was a CB radio guy. I use to get a kick out of listening to him when I was a little girl.
These mics are’s really fun and they’re easy to build. Thanks for watching.
Love the Blue moon, mike's cool too,thanks for the demo
Thanks Gary. I'm pretty impressed with the kit.
That was fun thanks for the diy video
Thanks for watching. It's a cool little kit.
Got to try this!
It's a fun kit. Sounds pretty darn good too. Thanks for watching.
Good video! Mic 🎙 sounds pretty good and the clip idea was 😎 cool. Awesomeness at work here lately 🙂
Thanks for checking it out. I think the dowel makes a world of difference simply because you can use it on a normal mic stand.
Oh man you are a genius ! They should include that with every kit and give you a kick back!!
Also that actually looks like something I could build if I had that drill (just curious should I ever get a house ha ha what kind is it ? )
I really liked this
Thanks for doing this video !!love you DIY vids!!
That's my trusty Porter Cable drill press. I forget the model# but it's on of their least expensive models. It works great though. I really like it. Honestly though, you could do the same thing with a hand drill. I just use the press because I have it. LOL. I wouldn't let that stop you from trying. Thanks for watching these.
@@musicalmiscellany cool
Yes I'm sure my husband has a hand one too
Hmmm maybe I can get it for "him" wink wink
For Christmas
What other uses would it be good for ?
@@MariaCalfaDePaul This one isn't going to make a very good instrument mic but it works great on vocals. Whether it be for PA or singing. :-)
@@musicalmiscellany yes good to know but I meant the drill press lol
@@MariaCalfaDePaul Ha. Sorry. A drill press is good for pretty much anything where you need a straight (plum/level) hole. Even with simple household projects it can be really useful. I use mine all the time and not just for instruments.
Hey there!
Looking forward to building one of my own as well.
Are you going to make a comparison between the DIY version you did yourself and this one?
That's a good idea for a future video. Thanks for the suggestion.
I posted the video this morning ruclips.net/video/maOoq6WKN7s/видео.html
@@musicalmiscellany amazing thank you! Just made a few soup can mics myself to use in my studio :D
your getting quit the Demo Actor, but it is ofcourse your second time around! super low fi !
Yeah. They literally sound like a tin can. LOL.
How do you make it so it's not so touch sensitive? I've tried all sorts of filler and padding.
I've used mine quite a bit and haven't really had any problems. Any piezo-based microphone is going to be sensitive to bumps and taps but I've been able to use it just fine. What exactly are you experiencing?
Check out this quick video for an explanation: photos.app.goo.gl/krtcocQ2H1NaGxXGA.
Thanks for the reply!
@@brevs8387 Ah. Piezo microphones are very sensitive to feedback so you want to keep the amp a ways away if you can. When you're working that close to the amp they do tend to feed back. Potting the piezo (with wax or hot glue) or using sound deadening material (sounds like you might have already done that) will help but a piezoelectric transducer works on vibration (opposed to air pressure) so the mic will always be sensitive to tapping or quick jostling. They're an art to using them for sure.
