Hi All,
I'm fairly new to this forum, but I have a project idea and wanted to get your opinions on whether or not you think it's good and feasible.
I have a pair of AKG C480b mic bodies that are dead. I do not want to repair them because it would cost too much to get new PCBs installed by AKG. On the other hand, I have a pair of great AKG C460b mics with JW mods with a small collection of AKG capsules.
I would love to design some replacement PCBs for the 480 bodies, so that I have a pair that is different than, but just as good as my modded 460s. I have 8 capsules, so complementary mic pairs seem like a cool idea. I could either design PCBs with a transformerless Schoeps circuit, or maybe straight up KM84 circuits if I can find a transformer that fits the AKG body.
What do you think? Is this a great idea worth pursuing, or not worth the effort?
Thanks.
