I have a question about these micro tube mic ?

[pasarski]

Makes sense that they just throw in something random from the bin

The input stage is equipped with a carefully selected subminiature tube.
All voltages and currents necessary for operation are transferred via a transverter circuit
provided.
The low output impedance on the 3-pin XLR connector is via an OPV and the output
transformer realized.
can we try to make a circuit like this? do you have an ID? How do we get it onto a circuit board?

Says who?

... But why?

Can I install an RK 87 capsule in this circuit? decency of the tsb2555a

where can I find this 10 v zener? In the circuit diagram I have a circuit board like this here and I can also test the matching tubes
Hello, I know it's an old post, but what do you think of this board??? It might help polarize LDC, it's based on the shematic upper in the thread...would it be "easy" to implement it in the Frankebtube design??? Hex Inverter Voltage Multiplier for Condenser Microphones - Share Project - PCBWay. Today I build it to make OPA Alice microphone
If you take the VCC for the DC-DC board from the 10V point (Zener cathode) on the FrankenTube circuit, it can work. At 10V, the DC-DC board should provide about 60+ volts for capsule polarization.

I think this one you posted in another thread is even more intriguing. Wonder what the device is? Maybe a nuvistor? Also doesn't seem to be connected.

That particular one is a rectifier tube, but that's alright, as it's not connected either..

Can I connect it like this or am I completely wrong? I need more power for the capsule

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but the capsule polarization voltage is probably not your biggest problem. Sure you need some kind of a voltage booster for that, but the biggest hurdle is to find a tube with low enough heater current draw, so you have something left for the rest of the circuit. This is the least current hungry tube I know. Probably almost impossible to find a good enough speciment for microphone use.

I have a question about these micros
what is it tube mic why doesn't it have 7 pin like normal tube mics? and does that actually do anything? I would buy one and then install better components to reduce the noise. Do you think it's worth it? I have a lot of tube mics but I've never seen anything like this

Where's the tube in the video??

I also think it's a fake

Before you start building Frankentube make sure you have skills and everything necessary to solder those LM2665. Both POL and VCC points you marked are at ground. I also think you need to understand the Frankentube schematic, it is not a straightforward build. Many, if not most have failed.

Soldering is not the problem. First of all, finding a circuit that can work with 60-80 VDC
I'll keep trying, I find it really exciting

Many tubes can work with that (I assume you still want to build a phantom powered tube mic?). Voltage is not the problem, current is. Phantom power is speced to provide 10mA IIUC. The tube I linked draws 10mA for the heater alone. You don't have anything left for the rest of the circuit unless you under heat it.

I found this in the links but the schematic link is offline
I finally finished the Phantom miniature tube DI. I got a MAX5033 DC-DC converter for heating supply after a bit of experimentation. Here is the final schematic: http://users.adelphia.net/~thomasholley/Guitar/Mini Tube DI.gif

As I do, I got carried away with "features" and additional switches for triode/pentode operation, a switch for transformer ratio adjustment to best suit these modes, and a floor lift. They work pretty well. I also added an unbalanced monitor.

The MAX5033 DC-DC converter is set to deliver 1.4 VDC at 20 mA output and draws approximately one milliamp on the input side. This is the lowest giveaway among several devices I've looked at. The output has a small residual switching noise using the component values derived from datasheet calculations. I added another small choke and a larger capacitor to the output, which successfully got rid of this residual noise.

OK, the transformer is very good, I will order one and test it

 

[mic test]

Can I test it first with this transformer to see if the wiring is ok?

what are these values?

 

[gyraf]

what are these values?

I think that circuit is more an idea than a real working thing - it wont work as advertized: If you e. g. activate ground lift, there is no power to the circuit.

 

[mic test]

So I leave it closed there I would like to test the circuit unfortunately the tube is no longer available for purchase 6088 I think it will work Is this circuit even intended for capacitor capsules? the idea is not bad
