Hi All,
I recently cleaned up my mic collection and found the first ever large diaphragm condenser mic I bought. A Blue Bluebird. Did have some great time with this mic but I always found it sounded a little bit harsh.
Haven't used it in a while and I thought it would make a nice donor body for a CMV563/UM57 build.
So my idea is to implement a the UM57 circuit in the body with a nice M7 style capsule in the original head basket.
So I will basically have a Mic that looks like a CMV563, always liked the look of it, with the ability to switch between different polar patterns.
Right now I'm looking into sourcing all the components for the circuit and build a prototype point to point board and pair it with the stock Blue capsule and one of my N61 PSUs I have from my M582.
Will post some pics in the next couple of days. And I'm open to ideas and suggestions.
Best wishes,
Johannes
