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 $100- $150 range, though it seems another mic wouldn't really be worth while. Considering my step father is an electric engineer and willing to help me, I figure we can mod these. Is it worth while?
First off, I was wondering if someone could confirm which caps are worth replacing for both mics. And anything else perhaps..?
More specifically, I am wondering if it is worth replacing the capsule. I understand Michael Joly and others can mod this capsule, but again my budget doesn't really permit. Does anyone know anything about the RK-47 Capsule? Good option?
I am a multi-instrumentalist and singer. I plan on recording EVERYTHING with these two mics. Primarily acoustic guitar and vocals, but also everything from strings to winds, brass and percussion. I also plan on doing quite a bit of traveling with these and will likely record in a large variety of spaces..
Any advice helps, and thank you.
