12. Clip the LED leads just above the solder joint.
    Make sure that the LED leads and solder joints don’t touch each other.
    Coat them with liquid electrical tape to help prevent any shorts that
    could occur if you bend or push the wires together.

Adding the rest of the doohickeys ...................................................

After the circuit and LEDs are pretty much taken care of, you have a lot of

other things still sitting on your workbench, like the microphone, poten-

tiometers, a switch, and one or two more things. You have to take care of

assembling these before your project will work.

Follow these steps to take care of all the rest of the parts that make the music

dance:

1. Solder a 12" black wire to the microphone ground contact and a 12"
   red wire to the microphone +V contact.
   Figure 5-21 identifies the microphone contacts.
