But it's also 6S6B versus AC701, right?

not yet. I want to compare one part after the other. Now I have 2 "identical" mics, where the only difference is the transformer.
In the next step, I will change the output capacitor and then, I change the tube to AC 701. I guess, I can manage it in the next week.

Hey Kosi,

Did you sign up for shockmounts from the new batch?

They'll be here in a few weeks

I signed up, but I thought, the deal didn't work out ??? Maybe I confuse something ?
But of course:  I'm in for 2 !

That's good. 

So it's apples to apples then.

Or oranges to oranges for that matter.

Should be here soon. All units are still available, I'll put them up for sale here first-come first-served.

Sorry, a bit late on this one.
But where can you get the PSU case?

The PSU case is called: Ultimate Mic PSU chassis

scroll down a bit

You can get it directly from the "maker" Martin Zobel

And Martin is a really excellent person 

Is there any link on m49 bodies at this time?

Hey guys,

just wanted to chip in with a quick picture

Finished my second M49 yesterday, still one PSU missing (metalwork's a pain). I used Haufe T8974 as transformers and EC71 tubes, the circuit is Oliver Archut's alternative M49. Everything worked out great, they sound amazing, no hum, very low noise floor for a tube mic -> awesome!

Waiting for the shockmounts...and a third M49 body

Best regards,
Mathias

Looks amazing! Who's body is this?

Some solid state variant here.
M50 style with Schoeps capsule elements from old lavalier mics.
Heavily modded MXL990 pcbs, these are brought to Schoeps specs (mostly original CMC5 part values used), including full 60V of polarization voltage (up to 95V via trimpot).
Next mics will be built around tubes!

very nice build Bremusound!

Beautiful builds!

Open for orders 

Shockmount is optional, to keep the price as low as possible.
I have the kits here, just waiting for the mounts to arrive - orders placed now will ship in about 2-3 weeks.

See first post for pricing and instructions on how to place your order.

Payment sent for 3x M49 Bodykits including Shockmount.
Many Thanks.
