I am looking for the simplest way to record off of these capsules. I am in possession of an audio interface which can provide phantom power, and I am under the impression that I need some sort of circuit between the capsule and this interface for it to work.
I have just assembled this schoeps/dorsey circuit: http://www.pfarrell.com/images/miccircuit.gif
but it has not worked, I am just getting a loud buzzing noise as the recording. I believe I have assembled it correctly but I have used the 2N3819 mosfet transistor instead of the 2SK170 indicated on the diagram since it was not available and I read that this was an equivalent transistor. Also, the parts of the circuit that should sit at 35V and 12 V sit at about 15V and 5V respectively, not sure what's going on there.
I am assembling this temporarily on a bread board until I get it to work btw.
I am worried I am making this more difficult than it needs to be. Is this circuit design the way to go? Is there a simpler way to record from this capsule?
Thanks for your help.
