Hi all,
Total beginner question here, feel free to ignore if you think it's too obvious. I've searched around a bit for info but I haven't found anything that seemed very clear. Might have looked in the wrong places.
Anyway. I have a couple of old ADK A51 mics, very early model. Just cardioid pattern, no switches or anything. I recently bought two capsules that I want to use in these. These capsules have separate connectors for front and back membrane. If I understand it correctly: if I connect both ++ and --, I should get cardioid response, and shorting back membrane to ground should make it omni. Is that correct? And what would happen if I flip the polarity of the back plate?
First mic mod for me, looking forward to messing around a bit with it!
