I would try the 2mm ones, the longer ones might be hard to get into the mic body.there are 2 , 4 and 6 mm avalaible

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)dont know if the link is already in this thread but i did order and recieve those 2 U47fet bodies and they are great quality and value for the bucks IMHO https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...o.order_list.order_list_main.9.76a71802ekW7PJ
I've been curious about those bodies. So, how do the PCB's screw into the body? From the underside of the capsule deck?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 .

it s the same system as the Neumann mic , 3 points , inserting screw part of hex standoff (male female , male up)I've been curious about those bodies. So, how do the PCB's screw into the body? From the underside of the capsule deck?

Check if top plate doesn't short the high impedance board,there is too small space there. I had to add a proper grounding point to the mic bottom rings, as the XLR connector's small screw if not enough.Just finished assembling one of these and am having some issues. The mic just has a buzzy sort of low hum & no signal output. As far as I can get a meter probe in there I seem to be getting voltages in line with what on the diagram although I can't get to all test points. If i touch the risers between the pcb's the buzz gets a lot louder. If I touch the front diaphram node with a small screwdriver I can see the level go up on the meter and hear slight rustling in my headphones. This leads me to believe that the amp side of things appears to be working or have some life. I get continuity from ground to the back plate & from the hiZ node to centre of capsule.
Can anyone give me some pointers, or things to try, I'm running out of ideas ? Maybe a stupid mistake but I'm not seeing it ...
Thanks for the input. I don't think that is an issue because at one point I was testing it with the top board unscrewed & I was still getting the problem.Check if top plate doesn't short the high impedance board,there is too small space there.

Then try disconnecting the capsule and test with a capacitor (something approx 75pf)Thanks for the input. I don't think that is an issue because at one point I was testing it with the top board unscrewed & I was still getting the problem.
How do you do that ? Put a signal generator across the cap & monitor o/p with scope ?Then try disconnecting the capsule and test with a capacitor (something approx 75pf)
First substitute capsule with a cap then monitor the noise thru the xlr outputHow do you do that ? Put a signal generator across the cap & monitor o/p with scope ?
SOrry for the dumb question , but do You put the glue between the nut and body or between the nut and screw ?? or maybe both >Have a Great Day !!!The way I was instructed to mount the arm: Screw – Washer – Two friction washers – L-Bracket – Two friction Washers – Microphone body - Nut. Once I have the assembly tightened to my liking, I put some E6000 adhesive on the nut inside the body.
