Just add a lift (bypass) on eather end of the parallel filter. That is the mod. There is a PCB with components inside, very thin wires. Be careful.

Hi, I have not been here for years. Somehow the image folder has disappeared. The filter is fairly simple. It has 4 components, all in series. An inductor, 2 electrolytic caps back to back to make up a bipolar cap and a resistor that determines the amount of attenuation. This series connection...

I have been using Reaper from day 1, all 12 years. Never looked back. Amazing software!

I'm pretty sure, tried to pull out some more, slowly, but keeps breaking all the time. Can't see where it last broke cos so close to the glued windings. I'll call it a lost case. Looking at the original specs I believe it to be so also. Maybe there was a misunderstanding here. I mean the...

Here's a picture of the capsule.

Thanks for the comment. My coil was broken next to the winding, no way to repair. Making true to original capsules + windings would be something else. Unfortunately creating something like that witout the original gear would be next to impossible. I took the original capsule apart to the last...

Hi, I will be constructing one for myself and can replicate the process for others if anyone is in need. My model will not have the humbucking coil, at least not at first, but will utilize the original bass chamber and the original mounting jig. I will be heavily modifying a large dynamic...

That's the thing. I hate the baskeball sound. I usually get the best 'modern' kick sound when I add a subkick mic to the mix. But when it comes to rock songs I do prefer the 70's sound. Then it's large condenser infront of the resonant head. Listen to the Wings albums or even Zeppelin or...

Here you go! https://soundcloud.com/ronnie-james-audio/sets/mic-tests The Beta52 was in the sound hole. First part is with the Shure filter on and the second part is without. As you can hear there is a huge difference. I also recorded the same thing with my SC450 that I had rebiased and added...

Sure! I can try to do this at some point.

Like I said. I like to have 400Hz in the mix. Not notch it. I want a natural THUD out of a bassdrum and preset filters is not the way to go. So I prefer the filter bypass position better. Again, it's a matter of taste. Rob, you like to boost 400Hz, I like to have it flat but as far I know most...

This is the exact same setup I have. Soundtracs Topaz and patch it where it needs to go. ;D I have to say Topaz is one motherlover of a desk! Got it for 1000€ about 7 years ago.

I just recently made a subkick from a Philips 5" speaker I had hanging around. Like it's been said million times. It's hot hot hot... I tackled this problem from a different angle. I thought I need good damping, isolation and impedance mach for the preamp for this to be something other than a...

I was thinking have you maybe mixed 400Hz and 4000Hz in your head? I mean 4K is where you'd want to boost for 'click' and secondly think about the condenser as a battery. In a way that's what it it. It is charged and then it releases the energy when it's fully changed. Right?! Now if you would...

Don't want to sound like a dick, but maybe you should do some calculation. I am not so good at it I could do it without aid (calculator) and in this case it would not make much sense. The whole point of my post was NOT to redesign this. Just to say that there is a preset passive filter that can...

I work in an electronics factory and talked this through with our leading designer. I showed him the schematics and he told me all you just said and more. The two condensers connected together back to back is only half of their value (in this case 11uF). I also added a calculation of this to the...

I added 2 more pics to my album so you can see for yourself. Those condensers are connected together to create an unpolarized capacitor. Otherwise there could be nothing going trough and having just one condensers would do nothing. It would probably break. I asked someone who knows better and he...

Can I edit the headline to save myself from further embarrassment?

And before anyone states the obvious. YES! The headline is wrong!!!!!!! Surely it Shure! Not AKG.

Hello! I was annoyed how you can only use this mic for so few things. I could not find pictures of one fully opened so I thought what the hell. You can always buy new if it's destroyed? Right. ;) The inner circuit was fairly simple. A chain on components was connected parallel to the capsule...
