Ingredients:
Your favorite headphones. (Cost = 0)
A 1-foot piece of number 14 solid copper wire. (Cost = 0)
One U.S. penny. (Cost = .01)
One Heil HC-4 mic element. (Cost = 29.95)
Tightly wrap a few inches of the wire around the headband of
your favorite headphones. Solder the penny to the free end of
the wire. Glue the HC-4 to the penny. Placing the headphones
over your ears, bend the wire so the HC-4 is positioned in the
vicinity of your lips. If you tend to spit while talking, put
some cheesecloth over the little hole in the HC-4. An alternative
to the cheesecloth is to regard the little hole in the HC-4 as a
drain hole and point it down toward the floor. This has the added
advantage that any heavy breathing or excessive snorting through
your nose will not trip the vox.
