Hi Jamil,

these ones can be frightfully expensibe so I was wondering if anyone might have one lying around or has researched and found a cheaper, effective alternative or if indeeed I need to purchase a new, more expensive type. Even, I believe some people may have had some success with making their own.

Regards

Does the mic look like some kind of ray gun?

I have a parabolic dome and speaker setup that Graham Thirkell and I did as a joint installation project.

I also have the mould for reproduction.
