They were both easy soldering fixes.
One is the Audio Technica AT811. It's actually
a good, darker microphone, with very little
high end. So it's not very good for acoustic
guitar, but it might be good for someone's vocals,
because it has very warm, full bodied mids, low-mids,
and bass end. Or it might be good for a really
shrill instrument, when you want to take the high end
off. Someone mentioned these are good for horns.
The problem is, someone made the piss-poor decision
to make this battery powered only, so it cannot use
phantom power stock. I'm sure there's a way to
convert it to phantom power, so if someone
knows how, please let me know, as it would likely
increase the output, which is a bit low.
If I don't end up using it, I'll sell it for
$50 or so.
The other mic is a mystery mic:

Anyone know what it is? There are no markings at all.
It works, but has a very tinny tone. I'm thinking of
replacing the capsule with my old SP-1 capsule.
