Welcome to this build guide step by step of our C12 DIY Kit.
Here is our Webstore : www.micandmod.com
WARNING! The construction process of this tutorial is only for educational purposes.
Everything must be done only by qualified technicians and electronicians. This DIY project
involvesto work with the circuit of the Power Supply which has lethal voltages. A very good
knowledge of electronics and soldering is required before starting the project.
Step by step: (choose your chapter)
POWER SUPPLY ASSEMBLY
PRE-CALIBRATION
MICROPHONE ASSEMBLY
FINAL CALIBRATION
To make this microphone, you will need:
- Our high quality PCB, a perfect recreation of the Vintage C12 circuit: purchase here
- Or our full kit C12 DIY Kit : available here
- An electronic or analog multimeter to calibrate the microphone.
- A quality soldering iron with a fine tip. We recommend our soldering irons Weldteam: available here
- Tin of quality. We recommend Weldteam tin: available here
- A small cutting pliers special electronic
- Set of precision screwdrivers. Available here
- Possibly a desoldering pump, if ever you need to desoldering a component misplaced: available here
- Cleaning solder flux. Isopropyl alcohol to about 90% with a toothbrush and cotton swab will do the trick.
It is important to clean your welds and remove the flux which may interact with the circuit.
Once you are ready, that you have gathered all the necessary materials and that you are now aware risks, we can begin.
