And someday, people will get that phantom won't hurt a ribbon mic, and will go merrily on their way using the microphones :D Phiz is correct, keep in mind that 99.5% of ribbon microphones already use a transformer, thereby blocking DC. There's a bunch of designs for a device like this kicking around...

Nope, no reason. Won't hurt a thing.

Whatever flips yur lid =). The other way uses the terminals that are available on the switch, rather than wiring resistors in the air.

That's just worked by hand and then soldered to the mic body at the top.

I used a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel to do the "windows" in the tubing.

most of my mic body machining has been from 2" brass pipe. copper can be somewhat soft to work with, but will also work.

Here's how I approached a tube mic body. Working out the capsule mounting was the hardest part.

I typically build it into a DPDT switch (U pad), and place it between the input xlr and the input of the mic pre.
