Chassis Upgrade Kit - $225

The Chassis Upgrade Kit  includes everything in the Basic Kit , and a milled microphone housing and pre-drilled connector plate ready for assembly.

  

The USA-Made pre-cut chassis and connector plate saves you the time and effort of cuting and drilling the microphone housing and end-plug by yourself.

If you're unsure about using a hacksaw or drill, or have never used a Dremel Tool, the Chassis Upgrade Kit is for you. 
The professionally-milled chassis ensures everything fits together right, and helps your finished mic look its best.
