Remember This: Mitey Mic?

[hifijim]

I was cleaning out my tool room and found this old measurement mic. It is the "Mitey Mic", I ordered it as a kit from Old Colony Sound Lab in ~ 1991. It used a Panasonic mic capsule in the end of a long brass tube. It came with a small project box and a PCB. I had to solder all the components to the PCB. Power was a 9V battery.

I am sure that others have fond memories of this cool little mic... It helped me design my first speakers back then.

I had no use for it, and it no longer functions, so I pitched it... but I took a few photos before it went into the trash.

That’s a fine part of DIY history! And even then it was understood the mike has to be on a pole, not in a microphone clip. I fooled around with a MCE2000 in those days, but also could rely on a Peerless labeled microphone which came from Haun I presume.
