Austin Ribbon Microphones is a DIY audio gear company specializing in build-it-yourself ribbon microphone kits, along with related kits for preamps, guitar pedals, and tube amplifiers. The flagship product is the Austin Ribbon Microphone Kit, which ships with all the parts, fully illustrated instructions, and video tutorials needed to assemble a working ribbon mic at a fraction of the cost of comparable factory-built models. Parts are manufactured at local machine shops in the United States.

In addition to kits, the company sells fully assembled microphones for buyers who want a finished product, including the hand-built BLACKMIC. Beyond kits and finished mics, the catalog includes accessories like the Hot Holder soldering tool aimed at hobbyist builders.

The brand caters to home recordists, project studios, and educational programs, positioning itself around DIY craft and hands-on learning rather than mass production. Coverage in publications such as Tape Op has highlighted the kits — including a true Blumlein stereo ribbon mic kit — as accessible entry points into ribbon microphone construction.

Austin Mics has 1 product cataloged on Equipboard, including Reverb Effects Pedals.
