If that's all you have to work with, I'd just replace the ceramic between the capsule and the FET with one of the 1000pF orange-drops. They sound fairly one-dimensional to me, but still better than the ceramic. You'd be better off using a WIMA polypropylene or some type of polystyrene, though. You could also swap out the .22s with .47s, but I wouldn't expect much difference. Certainly not a night and day difference with either part.I hate this mic,but I cant afford to buy a better one.I have two orange drops (1000pf) and five .47uf metal film. how can I upgrade?
Yeah, I like them too.The BC components polyprops are consistent.
My opinion exactly!I always test with strummed acoustic guitar. That's good test material, I think. Wide band, lots of transients and sharp attacks. Plus you're very familiar with the sound of the source.
Polyprop. However, I meant to mention that my experience comes mostly from modifying Oktava MC012s, although I did modified 3 of the 603s 1-2 years ago. From my (limited) experience with the 603s, the polystyrenes seemed to kill the acoustic guitar's upper frequency dynamics. The polyprops were a better choice for those, IIRC.Which do you think sounds "higher" or "brighter" polyprop or polystyrene?
