Hi all DIY guys there!
This is my first post after nights reading the forum and learning from all you. I finished succesfully a pair of G7 with Peluso capsules (thanks a lot Gyraf!!). Great sound: all my firends were amazed after compare it with other expensive mics ':grin:'
But my question comes on after trying to modify the initial project to another more complicated: I'm mainly involved on stereo recording on location, so decided to transform the two G7 in a only one twin G7 m/s x/y Blumlein recording system.
Yeah tell me crazy, because although I'm learning fast, my knowledge on electronics is poor, and is not wise to undo a working project to start another!''
So I asssembled all in a big tube and kept the PS (I did only a PSU case for the two G7). The tube is 60mm diameter, the capsules are mounted 90º and -here I think I'm in trouble':?:'- the two tube are pretty close, only a few milimeters between them. I got the same great sound that I had with the separate G7 but also hum. The hum is gone when I disconnect one of them: I mean each one works perfect (no hum, no noise) without the other.
Is not a good idea to have the two EF86 so close? or had I to consider another tube setup -like the Debenham stereo microphone- with only one tube (maybe the 6072)? Being myself a newbie putting it all toghether was the easiest thing !
Any help or suggestion much appreciated
