The Mini lo-fi tin can microphone is our most compact model, sitting beneath the Original and Jumbo. A piezoelectric crystal converts vibration into electrical signal, preserving raw, natural resonance. Constructed from recycled denim and aluminum, each analog contact mic is one of a kind.

Hand-built in West Texas from a salvaged tin can and reclaimed materials, this lo-fi mic is old school. Rugged and weathered, its vintage sound reflects an age before plug-ins. Beyond the core electronics, every component has been repurposed, giving it a pulse of its own. Made for artists who want grit over polish, it’s more than a microphone—it’s an instrument. The ribbed shell can be tapped or scraped for percussive sounds, it plugs into any amp, mixer, or DAW, and excels at amplifying the harmonica.

Features: Rugged aluminum housing with a standard 1/4″ jack, integrated 5/8″ mic mount, and a vintage denim windscreen—delivering a dirty, old-timey AM radio sound. Handcrafted in the USA.
