This video uses the Edison Studio recorder, but any good recorder could have similar results, although not as likely with a mica diaphragm, sometimes, I have herd some mica's that are very clear. You can find old computer speakers at goodwill, or thrift stores for next to nothing. and some have good sound, this is an Altec computer speaker mounted in a wide, low plastic funnel, and then into the recorder. It goes into two equalizers which mostly bring the mid range down, and boost the very high frequencies (the 400, 500 cps range causes honking when dubbing and thus has to be reduced about 12db, the 1k about -2, and 2k-3k range causes squawk, so these need to be reduced about 4db, the recorder falls off some at 6 and 8 k so these should be boosted about 6db.
