Luckily, Digikey have 500 in stock if you want to get a hold of the ones I specified: 11322 Keystone Electronics | Connectors, Interconnects | DigiKey

Thanks for that, purchased!

SOLD OUT

Any estimate on how long before kits are shipped?

Cheers.

Not long. Just waiting for the boards to arrive (from EU)

 

[kg350zw7]

Will you offer these again anytime soon?

 

[waltzingbear]

rhetorical question.

Is there money to be made?

Cheers

Just got a shipping notification from Mouser for my standoffs

 

[JMan]

Same here!

 

[JMan]

Look what arrived today!

 

[Fastunov]

Please tell me, and you can order a pcb on any resource such as OSH Park or buy gerber to order on jlcpcb.

Gidday!

The PCBs for this kit are only available as a part of this kit, which is what makes it such a WONDERFUL combo deal.

Not to mention the high-quality Maiku capsule, which should (?) get you closer to a flat, true KM84 sound over the MXL capsules. And a brass body that fits Graeme's PCB perfectly. This should be a no-brainer kit purchase, funds permitting.

Thanks all for your patience. Boards are arriving this week so we'll start shipping in a few days

The circuit is pretty simple, and almost all of the km84 clones Ive seen have a similar layout. Its a great learning experience to lay one out yourself, pick the symbols and footprints, and get it made. The patent is expired, the mic sounds great, I really think that you should try to lay it out in software and get 5 made. Its a university course for $6

Wrong forum

Heya! I just heard about these little beauties. Any way I can get on a list to order a pair when the next batch gets made (if that's the case)?

Can the MKS0D031000C00KSSD be replaced with another capacitor? They won't be available in mouser-EU until October.

Anything with same value and 2.5mm pitch will do.

I ordered these ones yesterday: https://www.mouser.fr/ProductDetail/505-MKS0C031000C00KO

They're 63V but it should be good enough. According to schematic, there would be 46V across this cap.

Thanks Thomas, I ordered those.

My mods 'guru' said this:
"No I got that you have the 63V poly caps (I have the WIMAs in 63V). However 63 V film caps use VERY thin film and I try to avoid using them for anything higher voltage than about 12V. I think I would use 100V min for reliability. I would use the C0G in a heartbeat for this application. Better dialectric." --and--
"TDK FA16C0G2A104JRU06 2.5mm" --and--
"I'm proposing very low leakage capacitors here due to very high impedances involved with this bias circuit for the capsule."
