This kit is intended for intermediate to advance users. 

You should understand intermediate electronics and assembly techniques.

The step-by-step instructions are on diymic.com. You are expected to understand and read schematics and a circuit layout, solder, use a multi-meter etc.

However, the circuit is rather simple and clearly marked.

Approximate Specifications after assembly:

Type: large diaphragm pressure gradient vacuum tube condenser
Frequency response: 20Hz to 20 kHz
Polar Pattern: cardioid
Sensitivity: 14mV/Pa (@1kHz, 74dB SPL)
Output impedance: <200 ohms
Equivalent noise level: <17dB-A Max. SPL (@0,5%): 130dB

NOTE: Will include a new power supply with a 9-step pattern switch between omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8.
