Thanks Malcolm for the answer. Being a total noob, it is hard for me to understand everything that you explained. I am sure it is a great solution but it is too complicated for me at this point. Even the DIY that was posted with photos is not 100% clear to me, not because of the guide itself (which is amazing and very clear) but because of my lacking in knowledge and experience in electronics. About your recorder, I have read some amazing reviews about it and I would love to buy one but it is too expensive for me at this point at around $500. I am thinking of buying a Zoom H2. I know there are some quality differences between the two recorders but I think I will start from the cheap stuff and if I will like the world of recording, I might buy a more professional recorder like the Sony. Thank you for your help

Thank you for the solution Malcolm Stewart. But doesn't the slim cable of the headphones such as the Ipod ones, only contains two cables inside them so it could only be connected to one microphone? From the pictures in the guide, it seems like there are two cables that are attached and that are only split at the end, close to the point where the mics are attached. Can you explain to me how to attach the slim cable to two mics? Can you please add some pictures of the mics that you have created? Thank you very much Yuval

Hi all. I am a real noob in the field of electronics but I was really impressed with this incredible DIY guide and I decided that I wanna try and build the microphones (the battery box is a little too tough for me right now but maybe someday...). thank you very much greenmachine for the guide. It is very clear and I hope I will be able to upgrade my recording equipment with it. I have some of the components that are needed for the assembly of the mics, and I will buy the rest but the only thing that I can't seem to find is the cable that is shown in the pics in the guide. I have went through the 26 pages of this thread without finding a real answer on where to get it. The best solutions I found was either to take the cable from a cheap set of headphones or from an RCA to stereo cable but both solutions are pretty expensive. Since I'm a beginner I think one cable may not be enough because I may not succeed on my first try. It will really help me if someone could add a link to the cable that is used in the guide, preferably from a site in the US like Digi-Key. I couldn't find any angled stereo plugs even on stereo to RCA cables. Thank you very much in advance. Yuval
