For anyone who is interested in diving deep into the dark arts of microphone making, here is the video of a talk I gave at the Curiosity Club here in Portland. There’s some tech talk about the many ways of transducing sound waves to electrical signals, the ins and outs of a weird DIY niche community, making cool useful things from metal with no machining skills at all, the path from hobby to obsession to business, and the pleasures of the toolmaker in seeing their tools well used.
If you’d like to talk more, please shoot us an email, give us a call (503-974-4147), or come visit our lab in Portland, Oregon!
