Hey guys,
I just got my hands on an Avantone BV-12 tube microphone last week. It's really nice, but I want to mod it to make it even better! (I realise 'better' is subjective, but you know what I mean )
It's quite sibilant (on my voice), pops quite easily, and with the 12AX7 I have in it at the moment it starts to saturate very easily (practically the second you hit a chorus with vocals). So I'm going to replace the stock tube with a NOS GE JAN 6072A from 1984, which I'm hoping will clean up the sound a bit. But I'm curious as to whether there is any way I could enhance the sound further by tweaking the circuit board or upgrading to higher quality components.
Ideas?
Cheers,
Dan
