I was searching for parts the other day and stumbled upon this- https://www.don-audio.com/Equinox-Systems-EQU47-Microphone-Body-Kit. I thought the Equinox u47 bodies were long gone! This got me wondering if there were a secret stash of m49 bodies somewhere, Does anyone know of someone currently manufacturing an m49 body that isn't a Flea ($1k)? I'm hoping Riggler or Aputis will get some out soon, but I've been waiting for 10 months for an Aputis u47 body, so I'd better not hold my breath for his m49. Is AMI? It just looks like they mod the tlm49 bodies. I have sent them an email and will see what they say. Thoughts?
Any currently available options for an m49 body?

Are you using Dany's Round PCB kit?
I may be in the same boat if I ever sell the gear I'm selling to raise money for this build... I already bought an M7 from Beesnees, a BV11R and the round PCB kit.
I still hope Riggler and Aputis get their product out. I'm sure there's a lot of stress in a project that has people waiting in line for.

Yes I have Dany's m49 pcbs. The ami body comes with plexi disks to do a point to point, so may go that route. It also includes a bv11 for a 5480 that I will be selling, since I already have a bv 11 from ioaudio Max for my ac701..Delta Sigma said:
I had to go with the ami, didn't see the other 2 diy options happening any time soon.
Received the AMI Tab Funkenwerk m49 body and box 2 days after I paid! I'm really happy with the quality. I want to try to use the supplied plexi discs, and go point to point, but will have to figure out which method to connect IOaudio Max's bv11 pub mount transformer. Either soldering directly to the pins or using Poctops pcb mount board for it. I will probably be listing the AMI bv11r for sale when I find out if I will be including Poctop pcbs with it or not. Here are a couple of photos

Looks good!
Yeah, point to point would be cool.
But either way you win.

I posted this in Dany's m49 thread also, but thought worth mentioning for anyone wanting to follow in these steps that Dany's pcb's are smaller with different mounting methods than the AMI. 3 Post standoffs (AMI) vs 2 post standoff, and smaller in diameter (Dany). I could possibly use the bottom AMI plexi disc to mount to the mic base, drill and tap, then screw Dany's pcbs to it. This would use the Max BV11. or just use an AMI bv11a (classic) with their plexi discs. Anyone have any preferences with either of these transformers?

Cool. I've found some beyschlag and Daloric on eBay. I'll try them out.ln76d said:Unfortunately not.
I bought massive stock few years ago.
I paid something like 2,5euro for it and 30euro for shipping
Also really great carbon resistors for microphones are Draloric - LCA series for example.

Ok, here's a link to a sample of some guys I had in. No eq, slight compression from ua6176's
Scratch guitars, rough mix etc...
Mics are 251/ac701k/ Beesneez k12,
M49 c/ ac701k/ Poctop d7.
Rough mixes have a little compression and reverb obviously.
