I was looking around for a mic cab to go in the machine room right off the control room in my new studio. Everything was pretty expensive and not really ideal, I wnded up getting a fairly cheap ikea cabinet hacking it up and drilled some holes to mount a ikea light system in it. It's all wired so no battery changing etc. I think it turned out pretty good!

Niiiice. I thought about an ikea cabinet for mics but I could never find a good place to put it in the studio.

Ha I had the opportunity to one up you. My building was originally a bank. I looked at one of the “storage spaces” in the basement as a studio space before COVID, the one I really wanted had a small walk-in vault with working door! Just make sure you have those Silica packets with the mics, Those things keep moisture in better than they keep people out. |

I only display the good ones, keep the work horses in the drawer Ah, that does cut it down a bit.... but if you include the "historical relics" it does get a bit bigger. Odd pieces like my favorite harp mic, a Shure 545L, which was the transformerless, "lavalier" (hence the "L") version of the Unidyne III, which also had the cord built in. I happen to have a pristine one, which I got cheap, in the box, "NOS", at a studio sale. |
