Building a "hybrid" microphone on the C12 circuit and wondering if the Cinemag CM-13101 is suitable for use on a 12AT7 plate follower tube mic.
It seems the winding ratio is in range given the 12AT7 has a bit higher gain than 6072A, and I would like to try a large core transformer and the 13101 is what i have on hand.
For main components, I am thinking along the lines of:
- Eric Heiserman HK47 capsule
- Mullard 12AT7 tube
- 2K output capacitor
- Cinemag CM13101
I like the shape and 9 pattern flexibility of the C12. . . the circuit also seems to be a straight-forward "flat-response" type circuit. Our studio tends to favor the more mid-forward center terminated Neumann style sound for general use, so I thought I'd build a hybrid mic and see how it runs. Since this is DIY and all.
