Okay, I have done modding before and made some mic pres and guitar pedals, but all with pretty detailed instructions. I did a lot of research before I got started on the royer mic mod, but still have a few questions. First of all, I'm using a MXL2003, with the 797 capsule. And I'm building it using point to point wiring on a perf board. I have the amp section done, and about to mount in on the mic.
1. The MXL2003 has a pad and low cut on it. It has a pcb right under the capsule. It connects the blue lead (the red one goes straight to the board) to the switch. I'm not interested in the low cut, but the pad would be nice. Right now, it takes the blue lead to another wire to the old board. What can I do to make this pad actually work?
2. Also it has a 200M resistor coming off of the blue lead to the old board (maybe to ground). Is this necessary or can I just take it off?
3. I am using the Jensen tranfo. Do I need to connect the black and grey leads, or just cut them off?
Sorry if these are simple questions. Also if you have any advice on using a perfboard, like keep part a away from part b, that would be great. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
