Browsing around today, this project caught our eye. Mainly due to the visual similarity to, well, personal massagers. As it turns out, it’s a home made studio condenser microphone. We would generally prefer to link directly to his personal page, that has a slightly more in dept write up, but it has popups and pop unders, so enter at your own risk. Generally condenser mics require phantom power to make the magic happen, but he has included a circuit to run them off of 9v batteries. We’ve done condenser mics before, but this seems a bit quicker and dirtier.

looks like a dildo
does it vibrate?
seriously the instrutable page sucks. no detail on the case etc.
It’s just an electret mic with some electronics to power it… shaped like a dildo. I was expecting something naughtier :)
I like the use of a euphemism “personal massager” in the write-up.
“Nine times out of ten it’s an electric razor, but every once in a while… *whispers* it’s a dildo. Of course it’s company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo… always use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo.” – Fight Club
^ You guys need to grow up.
Had a bit of a problem at airport security before have we, amishx64? ;)

Nothin’ more adult than a sex toy.
It looks just like a Telefunken U47
“but it has popups and pop unders”
that’s why god invented popup blockers :)
Ok, I thought I was being dirty minded thinking this looked like a dildo but it seems im not alone lol XD
this is actually kind of a low-quality writeup compared to other hackaday entries… his site doesn’t provide much more than the power supply circuit and an asston of ads.
LAMO….. Are you listening to your food digest?
I don’t even know what this is! This sort of thing ain’t my bag, baby.
Why would you want to disguise a dildo as a microphone? Pretty lame attempt at it even so. You woulda thought they’d come up with a better method… something like the ‘Fleshlight’ would do.
I wasn’t really going for the Phallic look, but I did realize ( and was instantly told by my girl friend) that it resembled that of a woman’s pleasure device, as soon as I finished building it. There have been some changes to the design that I haven’t been able to post yet, but that’s OK. Also I would like to say sorry for those annoying Pop-Ups / Pop-Unders. I’ve been fighting with Clicksor about that. Thanks for checking out my site!
My ex girlfriend had one of those. It is the only thing she took with her when she left.
Yea, I walk through the valley of teh internets,
I shall fear no pop-ups and unders,
For thy NoScript and thy Adblock+ shall comfort me,
And thy Firefox shall shelter me,
And I shall not deal with 10 MILLIONTH VISITOR and SAFE NATURAL ENLARGEMENT,
but browse quietly for ever and ever,

How about making a vaginal thermometer.
If you are using an electret you don’t need 9v with 1.5 v is enough.
Protip: Only three of the people who commented on this entry have had sex with a woman.
“Hey does anyone hear a humming?”
Thie first comment was my exact thought.
The mike used in the vagina monologues. lol
Using FF with the Adblock Plus addon I see no popunders or popups. Nor any ads at all for that matter.
I suppose I’m cheating this guy out of ad revenue though I never really intended to view his site to begin with.
looks like a dildo hahahah
“And to continue with the lecture, lets view the next slide-
‘click’-‘bzzzZZZZzzzZZZZzzzZZZZzzzz’-‘click’

Assholes. Dildo Or Not – Its a microfone or It’s Dildo, Fu##### lol
