Where to procure Mic bodies?

Postby AnthonyMF » Wed Sep 21, 2011 2:19 am

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about building a little FX mic out of a small speaker cone. I wired it up to an XLR, plugged it in and had a go through it and it sounded wonderfully lo-fi. I just want an empty, awesome looking, inspiring mic body to put it in. Something that looks retro.

The speaker is 5cm x 9cm x 4cm, so I guess it would need to be some sort of old ribbon body?

Ideas?

Cheers,
Ant
