Wow, no doubt you are Mr. Wulf! I'm still on my way, I'll be in touch soon! Very impressive!
send me your end bits over to Bremen.
Very good work Wolf! Thank you for your generous offer, I got a second similar offer from another member. That really surprised me in a very positive way, thanks guys!... jepp, worx ...
Bravo, now do it with a tube head amp
Hi there, can I suggest using silicone sealant instead of hot glue. My experience is that hot hot glue does not bond well to polished surfaces, especially where movement of the the cable is involved. The disadvantage of silicone is that its bond is so strong, if you had to remove the cable you would probably destroy it in the process.The plan now is to glue the mic flush with gaffa tape at the bottom with the cable centered and then run hot glue in from above. The adhesive should hold the cable permanently in position and also reinforce the strain relief.
You´re right, it was a tight fit in my case too. But that´s where the lathe trumps the drill: 1 mm of wall thickness is no problem.I took a closer look at the whole thing, with a 5-pin XLR it will be difficult because the cut-out for the USB is already too big, you would have to glue it. If you were to drill it out completely, the wall thickness would be very small. take a look at it.
Top job!You´re right, it was a tight fit in my case too. But that´s where the lathe trumps the drill: 1 mm of wall thickness is no problem.
Thank you, I really appreciate that!!But anyway, now you know who to call for, whenever you need your "end bits" machined ... or any other parts ...
Yes, the Vary PSU is very handy, you can try out a lot of things with it and it serves different requirements very quickly.Oh, and by the way: Your "Vary-B+ Supply" looks like a great idea!!!

Thanks for the good tips. Your concerns have given me food for thought and I started with a few material tests . I tested the usual transparent hot glue, but it was too soft for me.then use the hand mixed epoxy putty to cement it in place ,
you should then have a professional result , you dont want something spudged up with hot glue thats going to leave you down . .
I knew that my solution would make your pulse racingThumbs down from me ,
Thats an attrocity against tube microphones
I don't claim to define new standards for German engineering with a Chinese €15 capsule and a €10 transformer, dude! LOLWhat happened to German engineering Rock ?
This is because the whole thing is a "cheapskate" project, as I'm giving away two microphones and a dual power supply (BTW, for free!) to a young band that I'm helping with their first recording experiences.Hot glue is a cheapskate way of doing it
Yes, but to mount it I have the same problems as with an XLR connector. The point was to avoid that, wasn't it? Read the thread again...A metal cable gland costing a few euros not only provides proper sheilding and continuity to the mic frame
Well, as I said, there are thousands of solutions to make it better. The XLR version of the SC450 would be one of them...almost all the others have already been mentioned in this thread. What is your point? Are you already drinking at this hour wherever you are? Prost!It should be possible to tap threads into the hole at the base of the mic to mount up the cable gland ,
I see the type B USB panel cuttaway is 10.5x11.5 mm ,
only basic hand tools are needed ,
a file, to square out the hole , a drill to make it a circle and a tap to cut the threads , job done ,
