The post details the entire process, from material selection (using artist's silver leaf, unexpectedly), mechanical design (an ingenious corrugation method), to the circuit design (employing a Lundahl transformer). The resulting DIY microphone not only works perfectly, but sounds amazing, receiving praise for its realistic and immersive sound quality.
