About Darwin Audio Microphones

My name is Darwin and I run this one-person operation from my garage in Oregon.

These lo-fi beer can microphones are made from solid steel beer and soda cans from the 1970s and before. Before aluminum cans they used these rigid steel cans, which happen to make a perfect reverb chamber (steel can sound demo reel).

Scarcity increases with each microphone sold since these cans are over 50 years old, and they no longer stamp these types of steel cans.

Each microphone has a 1/4 inch out and a wooden handle for a microphone clip to attach to (one included with each order). Easy connection to amps, mixers, PA systems, pedalboards, and more.

Telephone microphones are a new introduction to my collection as of summer 2024, so keep an eye out for these vintage telephone mics in the online store (telephone mic sound demo reel).

My aim is to use as much original wiring and hardware so that the telephone effect you hear is all natural with little to no need for processing.
