Let's start with the components.
1) Capsule
2) Sound card
3) Tripod
4) USB extension cable
5) Sponge for washing dishes
6) Stationery erasers 2 pcs.
7) And something like a tube

Assembly.
1) Let's start with perhaps the most important sound card and capsule. I bought them from the Chinese. The sound card cost me 60 rubles, and the capsules for 10 pieces. 50 rubles. Let's disassemble the card and solder the capsule there to the microphone output (yellow). The card is needed so that the sound does not go through the cable to the computer, thereby creating an extra background; by soldering the capsule directly to the card, we created a minimal background

2) Take a tube or something like this, I personally took a cap from hairspray. We cut out the top, as in the picture, and cut small slots of 2 pieces along the edges. parallel to each other on each side and put rubber bands on it, as shown in the picture, this is necessary to suppress vibration.

3) Let's make a hole at the bottom of our tube for a tripod screw, but this is for those who will use a three-legged tripod.

4) We insert our blank with a map, as in the picture

5) Cut the cup and glue it to the card so that it acts as a wind protection

6) And fix it on a tripod

Conclusion.
Well, in conclusion, we connect our microphone to the PC via a USB extension cable; drivers for our card should be automatically installed. If they are not installed, then look at them on the page of the seller where you purchased it. You can evaluate the sound quality in the video

Almost all home devices, from phones to laptops, are equipped with their own microphone for communication. Particularly zealous fans of programs such as Skype or Mail Agent even buy themselves stationary microphones to improve communication with subscribers. Separately standing devices, wireless headsets, mechanisms built into the body - today a microphone can take on the most bizarre shapes. However, like all devices, it can break unexpectedly, which is why it will be useful for everyone to learn how to make a microphone from headphones.

In most cases, owners simply dispose of the failed electrical appliance and go shopping for a new one. But there is no need to rush in this matter, because assembling a microphone from regular headphones everyone can. To turn your phone headphones into a high-quality microphone for your computer, you will need to prepare suitable materials, namely:

• headphones from any brand, the simplest included headphones from your phone will do;

• 3.5 mm plug, better known as “jack”;

• high-quality wires for connections (carefully examine their integrity, do not damage the insulating material);

• soldering iron of sufficient power;
• sufficient amount of solder, rosin.

You can choose one of two options. You can use the headphones directly, or you can turn them into a full-fledged headset. The procedure will not take you much time and will not cause difficulties.

First way

Making a microphone out of old headphones is the most economical way out of the situation. Upon completion of the work, you will be able to receive not only a new device, but also breathe life into “junk” that no one needs. First you will have to do some soldering work.

If you strictly followed the instructions and did not overdo it with solder, which could cause a short circuit at the solder points, then when you connect the headset to the laptop, you will hear light clicks. This means that the microphone is working normally.

Second way

This is a much less effort and resource-intensive way to create a microphone at home. To do this you will need a telephone, computerBluetooth adapter and headphones included.

Connect mobile device with a computer via Bluetooth connection. Connect the headset to the phone jack and you will get a working microphone. This method will allow you to quickly restore a lost connection, but it is not recommended to use it on an ongoing basis.

This scheme is used as a temporary replacement when there is no time or money to purchase a good microphone.

Such a system is characterized by instability, because the Bluetooth connection can be interrupted at the most unexpected moment. Added to this is the need to constantly monitor the battery charge in your phone. Connecting it to an outlet will add more wires, which may make it difficult to use.

As you can see, from ordinary telephone headphones, which are included with most models, you can make an excellent headset for communication. Of course, it will never replace a real microphone. DIY devices can significantly inferior in quality transmitted sound to factory analogues. However, with quality parts on hand, you can try to build a real microphone.

Modern computer technology often has a lot functionality and is equipped to meet the most stringent user requirements. But this is only in a situation where a PC user has acquired one of the most latest models and enjoys all the “benefits of civilization.” But this happens when you just need to use a microphone to transmit information, but it is either broken or simply not there. In principle, this is not a problem, because we know how to make a microphone from headphones, and in this article we will also help you deal with this pressing problem quickly and easily. We will also talk about how to make a microphone from scratch.

No soldering

In fact, you can buy such a device in advance if you plan to use a similar function when communicating via a PC. The device will be inexpensive. But if this is not your way, then we will now figure out how to make a microphone for a computer out of headphones. Moreover, this is a fairly simple process that will not take a lot of time and labor! So let's get down to business.

Instructions:

• Plug your headphones into the pink jack. This jack is specifically for a microphone. Of course, it is wrong to plug headphones into the microphone jack, but we will try to use our headphones as a microphone.
• Next, click “Start” - “Control Panel” - “Hardware and Sound”. In the sound department, find “Management” sound devices”, and then click on the “Record” section.
• Then, in the “Recording” section, you should definitely see a device called “Microphone”.

Important! If this device missing, it means you did something wrong, try reading these instructions again, doing everything correctly.

• Next, you make this device the “Default Device”. To do this, click once on the device, and then click on the “Default” button.
• Then, in the “Use of device” column, pay attention to the “Use this device (on)” column.
• Next, go to the “Levels” section and move the slider to the very end.

Important! In order to check the functionality of a microphone made from headphones, simply check the box where it says “Listen from this device.”

Important! Problems may arise during the connection and setup process. And so that you don’t have to spend a lot of time searching for solutions, we suggest that you immediately read or save the information from our articles:

Theoretical information about electret microphones

Today, electret microphones have almost completely replaced other microphone designs. This indicates that at a relatively low price they have a smooth frequency response, light weight and high reliability. If miniaturization is extremely necessary, then this property there are no equals to them.

An electret microphone is a classic condenser, one plate of which is made of a fairly thin layer of polyethylene film located on top of a ring. The film is subjected to a process of bombardment with a beam of free electrons, which penetrate a short distance, resulting in the release of a space charge that can persist for quite a long time. This type of dielectric is called an electret, and it is for this reason that the microphone is called “Electret”. A thin layer of metal is also applied to the film, which is used as one of the electrodes.

Do-it-yourself electret microphone - manufacturing secrets

To work you will need:

• Capsule from electret microphone. By and large, it’s easy enough to get it out of an old Chinese tape recorder or an outdated landline telephone.

Important! The larger the capsule diameter, the greater the low frequency range.

• A piece of flexible thin wire.
• Regular 3.5 mm jack plug.
• Plastic body from a syringe.
• A small paper clip, as well as a piece of foam rubber.

So, let's begin the process of assembling a microphone for a PC with our own hands:

1. Cut off a small amount of the syringe body from the side where the needle itself is attached (approximately around the 1 gram pointer) using a utility knife.
2. Remove unnecessary markings from the surface of the syringe body with acetone or another solvent.
3. Sand the cut edge with light grit sandpaper.
4. Insert the shielded flexible wire into the hole and make a small knot.
5. After this, solder the capsule so that the braid of the shielded cable is connected together with the metal case.
6. Insert the capsule into the body, and then click the place where the needle was previously placed using the tab of a standard paper clip.
7. On the second side of the flexible shielded wire, solder a 3.5 mm jack plug, with the right and left channels connected together.

By and large, the microphone is already completely ready, but let’s make another aesthetically important detail from foam rubber - a windproof cap:

• Cut a square piece of foam using a knife.
• Using absolutely any sharply sharpened tube, make a neat cylindrical depression by rotating the tip from the inner surface of the tube.

Important! Sections from used broken telescopic antennas, which you can sharpen with a scalpel, are excellent for these purposes.

Preamble:
“Boney-M” (a very famous VIA at one time) came to Moscow on tour. At the airport, as usual,
the luggage with the equipment was “loved” and the reverb (the device that makes the echo) just disappeared.
Well, there’s nothing to do, let’s go get a new one at the Mitinsky radio market. Check before purchasing.
To the microphone:
- Once.
From the speakers:
- One, one, one...
Have taken.
Concert. They start singing:
- Sunny...
From the speakers:
- One, one, one...

Actually the plot itself is below.

My little one calls me from a broken tank and complains that he has big problems with the microphone on his laptop, they can’t hear him, etc. and so on. and that because of this it is impossible to shout commands in a tank battle - in short, I advised him to study the language of the deaf and dumb...
However, my father’s feelings after drinking beer somehow reached my conscience and I had to think, could the Chinese, with their sophisticated minds, come up with a tiny USB microphone? Of course, it is known that Chelyabinsk men shout directly at the USB - but still... It turned out that there is such a miracle - then as usual: cart, payment, shipment, waiting, receipt.


The microphone itself is created in the now fashionable form factor “a la semi-circular fitulence”.


The connection happened without any problems or pitfalls, I tried to swear at it and got the same thing in response. This is not a Gogol translation for you, which translates “fuck you” as “fuck you” - that is, there is no distortion of the voice, there is also no obvious acoustic connection - although it tries to “whistle”, the sensitivity is normal - there is no need to shout.


Otherwise, of course, you can read on the packaging how good it is - but everything written there is an absolute lie.
1) connects via USB and blah blah blah - HALF-TRUE
2) presence of noise suppression filters HALF-TRUE
3) presence of LED FALSE
4) presence of a stand FALSE

The specifications are probably close by an order of magnitude, but for such a microphone it is unlikely (or rather for its physical dimensions) and it is written that there is another 8" cable - an OBVIOUS LIE


However, this was not important for me - the baby just needs to hold out until the holidays, and then with unwashed hands I will climb into the laptop and bring my native microphone into use. In a word, I recommend it for purchase.

You will need

• - shielded audio cable;
• - high-impedance earphone;
• - low-impedance science recorder (can be from a voice recorder or player);
• - radio broadcast speaker;
• - sound transformer;
• - soldering iron;
• - rosin;
• - tin;
• - electrical tape;

Instructions

The microphone can be made from a high-impedance earphone, which is used in headphones. To do this, connect it using a shielded cable to the corresponding connector of the amplifier or mixing console. This microphone is quite suitable for broadcasting or recording speech. But the quality will not be sufficient for recording or amplifying a piece of music. If you want a high-quality wideband microphone, make it from a broadcast speaker.

Take the radio broadcast speaker and open its case. Inside, in addition to the speaker itself, you will also see an output speaker and a transformer, as well as a variable resistance resistor. You don't need the resistor now, so unsolder it from the circuit and remove it from the case. Connect the speaker to the transformer directly.

Unsolder the plug and wire from the high-resistance winding of the transformer and in their place connect the shielded wire with the appropriate connector for inclusion to the microphone jack of the recording or amplifying device.

This microphone could be improved somewhat. For example, you can screen it. Cover the inner surface of the broadcast speaker housing with foil or foil paper. You can use, for example, foil from cigarette packs. Make electrical contact between this shield and the audio cable's braided shield, for example using a screw and a terminal strip. This will get rid of interference from external electromagnetic fields.

The sound quality of such a microphone can also be improved. Connect a custom RC filter in series with the high-resistance winding of the transformer. This filter consists of a 510 pF capacitor and a 1 mOhm variable resistor connected in parallel. Attach the resistor to the front panel of the radio in the place of the previously removed volume control. Solder the filter and, connecting it to the amplifier, select the filter resistance according to best quality sound.

In a circuit with a matching transformer, you can use any low-impedance speaker, as well as the output transformer from any tube receiver. Instead of a speaker, you can use low-impedance headphones, including those from a telephone or player. If you take a miniature earphone from a player, then the entire structure can be made portable by placing the earphone itself in a metal tube and designing it as a cord microphone. In this case, place the step-up transformer in close proximity to the amplifier. All connections in this design are made with shielded wire.
