I welcome everyone.

This is the schematic diagram of my microphone.
What do I need to do to attenuate high frequencies with feedback?

I will be grateful for hints.

Not easy in such a simple circuit - where we can't use the grid for feedback filter, as it's more or less a charge amp

In G7 I (sometimes) used a tertiary winding to feedback to cathode - here you could put in filtering

Perhaps inductor between cathode and gnd?
 
What about a 150-600pF cap between plate and ground? Like in the M49?
Or how much attenuation are we talking about?

Edit: sorry, just saw you want feedback... Then the M49 Solution is probably not the right one for you.

And how can you make feedback with the cathode if the cathode is connected to the ground ..?
 
I tried the M49 option, it works, but on some tube it is unstable - a loud crackle ..

To avoid "XY problem", you just need to buy a good microphone, but it's very expensive for me ..
You slightly missed the point there - the idea was that there are other ways to attenuate the high frequencies, apart from ones that involve feedback. Like the one i suggested in my first reply here.

Your "Y" problem is feedback, while your "X" is (or should be) obtaining some attenuation of high frequencies, regardless of the method.

OK.
Sorry, I guess I misunderstood your answer, maybe I didn't read it carefully..
This is true ?

Yup, that's pretty much it. You might need to experiment to find the right value (or just simulate the circuit in LTspice or something).

Alternately you could add a resistor in series with it, to have a high-shelf attenuation function, rather than a low-pass.

Thanks for the idea.
Are the images correct?
