Build a World-Class Ribbon Microphone at our 1-Day Workshop!

Don’t just buy one… BUILD One!

In this 1-day classroom workshop at San Diego City College, YOU will build a world-class, professional recording microphone designed by Austin Ribbon Microphones. We supply all the tools, jigs and instructors, and you work with your hands to fold and form the metal windscreen, solder the connectors and internal wiring, and cut and corrugate the Aluminum ribbon foil.

Please download the plans and videos from: www.AustinMics.com/workshopmaterials

Then register and use a credit card or PayPal account at this link:

There will be no walk-ins for this workshop. To get a seat, you must register in advance, first come, first served. If the class fills-up, I will provide a waiting list.

Details about the Austin Ribbon Microphone can be found at the Austin Ribbon Microphones website, click the homepage logo above for audio samples and reviews of the Austin Mic Kit, or simply Google “Austin Ribbon Microphone” for many independent reviews, blogs and videos. More workshop photos here

Unfortunately, I am required to collect CA State Tax, because the workshop is being held in California.

Notes:

• Bring a lunch or snacks for yourself. I don’t know if there are vending machines nearby, or if the cafeterias are open. Occasionally, we have all thrown-in a few bucks for local pizza delivery.
• There is limited time at the workshop, so it is REQUIRED that you download and view the plans and videos beforehand, so you know what to expect and your build goes as smoothly as possible. Don’t wait until the morning of the workshop… You will not be able to complete your mic in the time we have, if you haven’t viewed the videos and plans.
• The videos are in Windows, Mac and Mobile formats. If you have any problems viewing the files, please contact Rick at DiyRibbonMic@yahoo.com for another option.

If you have any questions about the workshop, please contact Bob Kostlan, or write to Rick at Austin Ribbon Microphones: DiyRibbonMic@yahoo.com
