The Makings of a Mic Boom

Here is a list of the materials we used plus some pictures.

1. Long painters roller
2. Small piece of PVC pipe
3. Foam noodle
4. 1 Zip tie
5. 4 Very small bungee cords
6. Microphone

Our first step was to put the piece of PVC pipe into a vice grip and then drill a large hole in opposite sides and then sanded down any rough edges.

After we sanded it all down we drilled a larger hole in the foam tube and put the paint roller through it. We then took the whole thing and stuck it through the hole we had drilled into the PVC pipe.

After that was complete, we measured the length of PVC pipe we would need for the Mic and then cut it to our desired size

Once it was to size we removed the copper wiring around the small bungee cords and then drilled small holes close together and threaded the bungee cord through the holes to create a web where the mic could rest without having to touch the PVC pipe at all!

 

 

After we finished threading the cords through we drilled some more holes in the PVC to make it lighter and then put the Mic into the PVC and boom we had created our very own home made Mic Boom!
