Skylar, any ETA of the next batch?
Thanks

 

[Skylar]

We still have stock. Order when ready.

Sorry, I should've been more specific. I'm referring to the bodies. I tried to order one from the website. It says that they are out of stock. Maybe i'm doing it something wrong?

 

[Volume11]

Ok, so it's the female binder that's out of stock. Is that something that I can add later when they are back in stock, or easily find somewhere else?

We do not plan on restocking the female cable-mount binder. Binder used to sell this connector direct through their EU website, but I'm not sure if they still do.
You may have to inquire about distributors in your country.

Thanks SKJG, I just came back to this page to delete my post haha. Found the same info a few pages back. Thanks for not being a jerk about it ;D

Hi guys,

We aren't planning on restocking binder connectors at this point, so I went ahead and removed the "with binder connector" choice from the product selection dropdown. in the webstore  Hopefully this will help eliminate some confusion.

 

[Volume11]

Anyone know if this case...

would be suitable for one of these bodies?

 

[Skylar]

It should fit, but the existing foam cut-out probably won't match.
You might have to get a chunk of fresh foam and make a cutout that will match the EQU47.
Dimensions are in the manual. If you print the last page to scale, you can use that as a template.

anybody knows a source for the little bastards in germany??? i can't find them and don't want to spend 20€ shipping just for 2 20cent pieces...

These little guys are your friends:
   
Mouser PN: 534-621

I used 2 of them on one of my MK7s along with short 4-40 flat undercut brass screws.
       
On this build, all the wiring is solid-core silver teflon, and it's STIFF, which really helps keep the board in place. In fact, I can remove the brackets, and the PCB is still held in place solidly under the support of only the wiring.


Now, mounting the G7 takes a little more imagineering.
Using parts that I had lying around...
   
This one is fun. Looks a little steam-punk, but we like that kind of thing around here, right?
There are plenty of ways this could be done better, but this improvised approach works in a pinch and provides some adjust-ability.
[You will notice that the side rails are all bent outta shape. That's the result of my testing procedures...of course, they still work fine. A trip to the vise will straighten them back up again.]

Skylar, have you ever considered making a clone U87 body and capsule to go with builds like this?

Hi Canidoit,

We don't have any plans for a U87 style body currently, maybe it will be something we consider in the future.

However, you could certainly build the linked U87 clone inside an EQU47 if you wanted to- there is plenty of internal room for that board to fit.

There are 3 remaining EQU47 mic bodies in stock!

... which so begs the inevitable question: will there be another run?
