AKG C12VR Capsule in Apex 460 mod?

[ankitmastakar]

Hello kind folks!

Does anyone have any experience using a AKG C12VR capsule in an Apex 460 mod?

I know the mounting is completely different, but hypothetically if I drilled some holes and made it fit.

Any special requirements in regards to polarization voltage/circuit that I may have to keep in mind?

According to this thread it can be polarised up to 80 volts:

My capsule is mounted with screws through the deck like the attached picture. It also sits on a little acrylic riser because the capsule mount is pretty short.
