first thread here. I'm mostly a musician that likes to tweak a little with my gear if I can make them better. I can solder and understand the basics of electronics but I'm far from knowing more than just a little. Well, I picked up some useful info from this thread: http://groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=52306.0 and did some slight mods to my mic. I'd already turned the capsule 180 degrees which made the mic better. I did take the mesh out but it worsened the interference to the capsule so I put it back (it picked up a clear AC hum from somewhere when I did the mod). So my mod.. I put in 470n Wima mks2-5 for c1 and c3 which audible lowered the low freq filtering, which I liked. I put in some slightly higher values for the C8 and C9, some ceramic 3,3n caps (code 332) which I don't know the name of. All in all, the sound actually got even brighter and now I'm a bit confused. Should I just put the original components back and forget about it or should I use other brands for the components? I wan't this mic to be less sibilant, darker, not so pronounced proximity effect in the HF but in general I like it in the frequencies from mid to below. The capsule itself could of course be swapped but I rather forget about the whole mic and go on with other mics. Happy new years!!
