Just wondering if anyone has modified an NTK. I did a search and didn't come up with anything. Any thoughts?
Simply put, capacitors are used to couple one part of an amplifying circuit to another because they block DC and pass AC. In an amplifier, whether it be a mic head amp, preamp, or power amp, you have a DC voltage, which powers the thing and an AC voltage which is the signal you are amplifying. When the signal passes from one stage to the next, the capacitor keeps the DC on the previous stage from entering the following stage with the signal (this would screw up the amp real bad).EleKtriKaz said:What kind of capacitors? Is this easy to do? How much do capacitors cost?

He is also replacing the Jenson transformers in NTV's with a custom-wound transformer of his own design, which doesn't seem like a very good idea to me.

Hmmm... sounds like the K2 is just a multi-pattern, dual diaphragm version of the NTK.Dio24 said:I just found it interesting that the new NTKs are being produced on the K2 circuit board.
