Step 4Adding the microphone

Adding the microphone
Now we need add our microphone and record switch. I put these on the bottom so they can't be seen during normal use. Also, that's about the only place available to mount them.

Looking at the bottom you will see two metal rods that are glued on either side of the speaker. Pry one of them out so we can put our hardware there. You will also have to hack out the vertical brace that the rod was glued to.

Next, drill two holes, as shown in the picture below. One should be just smaller than the microphone and one should be just bigger than the switch's actuator. Carefully glue the microphone and switch in place as shown. This is also a good time to add some pieces of wire to them.

Put the big plastic bracket back in place over the speaker and fasten it down with the four screws removed earlier.
