D47 Fet New Body Style PCB now available

[OneRoomStudio]

there are 2 , 4 and 6 mm avalaible

I would try the 2mm ones, the longer ones might be hard to get into the mic body.

But they have no switches and no hex spacer for the pcb , the only hex are the first ones with perpendicular thread to hold the plate hoding the capsule , to the mic body . The only strange thing is that i have to tighten the the round screw (shockmount) by hand when i move the body it loosen a bit the grip of the shcokmount. , but it s not a problem at all , i dont know if it s the normal behaviour but it s ok for me ( i m sorry for my poor english)

I've been curious about those bodies. So, how do the PCB's screw into the body? From the underside of the capsule deck?

Has anyone had any trouble buying these bodies? I have tried twice with two different credit cards and the bank is refusing the transaction. I'm getting fraud alert calls and texts from the bank. I'm not seeing another seller with this body on aliexpress, nor do I see it offered on another platform beside aliexpress, unfortunately.

I emailed Jenny at Shengyin Electronics ([email protected]) and have 2 U47FET bodies on the way with a pair of M49 bodies & shochmounts that according the drawings she provided will work with Poctop's boards. It took a bit of back and fourth, but I'm on for 4 bodies at around $125 each with shipping.

Thank you. These look exactly like what is offered on Ali so that seller is probably just a distributor of sorts for them. I'll contact Jenny. I can buy several like you did to make it worth their while if they don't fancy selling small quantities to us "little people"
