So I have two MXL mics, both of which were recently modified and now sounding GREAT. MXL 2003 and 603s. My only problem now seems to be with the preamp I'm using: M-Audio Fast Track Pro. The mics only pick up satisfactory levels if I turn the gain ALL the way up on the preamp. If I don't, the...

DEFINITELY. That's what I'm currently looking into. What would be really nice is a bag I can fit the mics, audio interface, AND laptop. Or some kind of protective case maybe.. No luck yet though..

So I travel alot. I love to live out of a backpack And I'm also a singer/song-writer/composer aspiring to finally lay down some quality recordings. My plan is to make these two things co-exist. I literally want to carry a studio around the world in my backpack, capturing quality music along the...

Thank you much. This has been very helpful. We have replaced some of the electrolytics with good results I think. Of course my ears are still very amateur in this regard and I am still learning to hear these subtle differences. Now we are trying to diagnose and repair another problem in the...

Sorry just saw you posted schematic Jim. Thanks :)

So can I find these somewhere?

So 3 yrs later I'm unable to find this information... Can anyone help? I'm interested in any specific mod recommendations. I've posted a new thread on it.. Thanks.

And does anyone know if it's possible to get ahold of schematics for these?

What about the RK-47? Also, does anyone have a schematic for this mic? I would realllly appreciate it.

Thank you both very much. I'm sure I may have more inquiries as the process progresses, but this is very helpful. Jim, do you have any input on the capsule?

So I've gone through a number of threads regarding this topic, and I hope I am not exhausting it, but I could really use some specific advice.. (1st post by the way. Hello all) These two mics are the only ones I own, and I don't have much to drop on any more. I COULD afford something in the...

But then again, this thread has me questioning the preamp.. The 6.6 mA draw is foreign to me.. Obviously I don't know too much...

No there is not. I've tested and ruled out the pre-amp and cables. It def seems to be the mic. The only way I can pick anything up is by turning the volume up COMPLETELY. And even then it often fades in and out. It's temperamental... very strange. But I don't really know better. I figured...

I think I am having same problem.. I use an M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB Interface.. Should this suffice as capable of handling the 6.6mA draw?
