Making a LDC Capsule - Videos

[raywisby]

it's only an octava capsule, I think it's a diy body

 

[Sonic]

Are you sure that microphone is an Oktava MKL-5000?

Whoops​

you were probably misled by the photo of this capsule in an unoriginal body? This body is a microphone of my manufacture, on a 6N23P tube.

raywisby​

yes, it is. I assemble the microphones myself. And capsules, too:

for sure, I was curious if there was another mkl-5000 microphone that I didn’t know about.
Thanks

That's very inspiring. Did you make the conical capsule mount ?

 

[Tim Campbell]

That reminds me of something

 

[Recording Engineer]

Cool… And that reminds me of the Nady SPC-10, that I’ve never been able to get my hands on.

I could definitely use a hand-held size end-address LDC, sounding great on snare, in my arsenal! In a short body like the M80-SH or even something like a 57 right-angle would be great!

It may also resemble LOMO 19A-19 and UM51. )

LOMO has a diaphragm with a diameter of 28mm, my capsules have 20mm.

 

[Tim Campbell]

Yes I have repaired quite a few of these Lomo capsules.

Here is a dual diaphram 24mm capsule I make.

Uuuuh.. the CK11..

I'm sorry- I missed your question. According to the bracket and the capsule stand: I drew a 3d model in the program and printed it on a 3d printer. It seems to me that this design helps to reflect parasitic sound waves from the body near the capsule.
Did I understand your question correctly?

on my capsules with a 20mm membrane, the outer diameter is 30mm. But on new models of capsules, the sizes may differ.
On beige pencils, the membrane is 16 mm, like the MKE-2 microphone. My capsule can even be put without alterations in the head of the MKE-2.
By the way, my black microphones previously had similar MKE-2 capsules, since these bodies are from Soviet MKE-9 microphones.

Aha I always go by outside dimension so you can see this capsule is small. I have even made a capsule with 15mm outside dimension

 

[Sonic]

My smallest capsule is still 19mm in outer diameter. )
But, I want to do, as you have, and 15mm, into the body of the microphone LOMO MKE-100/271, instead of the native capsule.

Thanks Sonic, yes that was my question. Would you be ok to share your 3d model ? I have currently a neoprene cone under the saddle that holds the capsule and like you i like what i does acoustically but it keep breaking.

the archive contains a ring and a stock in stl format. I think that for your size, the model will have to be edited in a 3D editor.
I draw in a Blender.
