The Jumbo Lo-Fi Tin Can Microphone is our largest model, sitting above the Original and Mini. A piezoelectric crystal converts vibration into an electrical signal, capturing raw, ambient resonance with rugged lo-fi character. Hand-built in small batches in West Texas, each analog contact mic is one of a kind. Made from a salvaged tin can and reclaimed materials, it’s built the old-school way. Beyond the core electronics, every component has been repurposed, giving each mic a pulse of its own. Made for artists who prefer grit over polish, it’s more than a microphone—it’s an instrument. The ribbed metal shell can be tapped or scraped for percussive sounds. Plug it into any amp, mixer, or DAW, where it shines when amplifying harmonica.
Features: Rugged aluminum housing with a standard 1/4″ jack, and a vintage denim windscreen—delivering a dirty, old-timey AM radio sound.
Jumbo: 3 ⅛″ W × 4 ½″ H
Original: 2 ¾″ W × 4″ H
Mini: 2 ¾″ W × 3″ H
Built to last a lifetime. If an internal component fails, send it in and we’ll repair it (normal wear and tear and cosmetic damage are excluded). You just cover shipping.
