Hey Dany, Any plans on doing another batch of M49 PCB's? I finally got my D-EF47 up and running last month... wow, what a mic. I fancy a go at a couple of M49's next, the bug has bitten!
Many thanks,
Richard
 
EDIT: Ah, I see it's to do with the styroflex caps which must be out of stock, not the PCB's.. No worries!
 
There is the Good News ,  thanks to Santas

Central Semi has decided to offer the 3819 again to the public ,
this is a vey nice part with very low  and constant idss,

The capsule has very good mid-forward sound, the overall tone is absolutely comparable to our original vf14 equipped U48,however it lack some bass "growl",but I made only EF800 clones yet - which is a different design than the original. Will prepare some proper tests soon.

So, I am finally in the assembly process. I am doing a u48/VF14 circuit. By looking at the u48 schematic, it would appear as if the H+ is supplied through R4 and "tied/proportional" to B+. I have completed 4 EF800 mics and PSUs. For those models There was a trimmable H+ through its own conductor from the PSU. This appears not to be the case for the VF14 circuit. I am using a D-EF47 PSU pcb. I assume I just build it, as is, and only use the B+, ignoring the H+ section for now. I'm looking for some confirmation before diving in...

...not only was that an incomplete schematic, but this is not the appropriate thread for the information I seek. Once I am on the right track, I will start a u48 build thread. I cannot seem to find one, otherwise.

Please do. Don't wait, just start the thread with what you know now and the qustions you have but call it a build thread U48 with Dany's boards. I built mine with a modified divider for the capsule bias voltage and would like to compare notes. I haven't yet tested my mic as I'm waiting on my transformer.
 
All PCB are back in stock on the web store,
Best,
Dan,
 
Hi All,  things have been pretty hectic lately ,
but all pcb model should be in stock in 2 weeks time ,  i had a lot of request for the EF47 so there will be available soon ,
thanks for your patience ,
Best,
Dan,
 
Hi Dany. Jimi Ray here. I tried to order a full set of D-U47FET ROUND PCB's (with the transformer mount board). Went to check out and PayPal responded that they were out of stock. Any chance of getting some more in?
