I am repairing a Sennheiser MKH40, I thought I had the schematic, but the one I have here is completely different! :
This one doen't have the traditional BC transistors on the PCB, but three 2SK30 FETs near the capsule!
I suppose two FETs are buffering the signal(s) from the capsule and the third FET is used as an oscillator.
But because the small PCB is pretty crowded (with a mix of SMD and through hole components) it feels like finding a needle in a haystack...
The main problem is that there is no oscillation, causing the microphone not to work.
Any suggestions where to find the (more recent?) version of a MKH40 schematic?
(In the attachment: the "old" version, anyway that is what I think.)
