[Elecraft] mic

[Clay Autery]

Well, it DOES take some fiddling to get it all the way it needs to be. 
First thing is to make sure it is set for Cardoid and not OMNI...  The
ONYX Blackjack gives me a little control as a pre, but I find that based
on the parts and construction mods I made, I don't have extraneous noise
pickup.

73,

PS - My mic is built on the housing and chassis of an MXL-990 that was
stripped and powder coated black.  THEN, I also back-filled the ENTIRE
lower chassis to eliminate voids.  Then added internal sound/vibration
absorption.  And a proper basket.
I could probably sell 10 of them a month if I was so inclined.  I am
not!  It was a LOT of work to do it PERFECTLY.
