My band and I are recording again, but since we're all split up AND I haven't built anything in a while, I wanted to farm out some extra LDCs.
I'm going to be building a couple FET mic similar to the Km84 schematic that I've used a few times for center-terminated and once for edge-terminated, and a tube mic that I would like to be center terminated (I have an edge terminated build I love already).
I'll be keeping the tube mic so I'm probably getting Dan's D7.
I'm a little out of the loop with the capsule options, and while I would very much like to get another edge capsule from Tim Campbell, that's a bit too much of an ask for a mic I'm basically giving away to a friend.
But anyway, this leaves me with wanting one each of budget, or almost budget, 47-style and edge-terminated capsules.
I got a couple center terminated capsules from a group buy, one of which was good and the other of which was okay, and I got a good center terminated Mic Parts capsule, which is increasingly expensive for a China-made capsule even if i do trust their QC. Where else is worth a look?
