Microphone body sellers

[Karl-0_0-]

Hi, new member here. I've been searching for a SDC body with a nosecone (contact pin). Mic&Mod sells a KM84-style kit with both a solo and a stereo set, but they offer more than I really need. Anyone in here who knows where I can find these?

There are a lot of cheap SM57 you could gut.

That's a good idea!

Thank you for the tip. Do you know the diameter of the SM57 on the cap end?

32mm

For KM84 style mics, SM57 is not the right choice imho. It's a dynamic mic without nose cone. For KM84 style mics, you can use many of the 22mm diameter bodies of budget SDCs, such as Takstar CM-60 or CM-63, Alctron T-02A, MXL603S, MXL604, MXL991, CAD Audio GXL1200 and Nady CM-90. They may not be exactly identical to the Mic&Mod and Micparts KM84 clones, but at least you can screw their 22mm capsules and the excellent 3U Audio capsules on them.

I decided to go for the Takstar CM-60 this time, and believe your (correct me if I'm wrong) KM84+ design. Very much looking forward to the build.

I have an omni capsule from MP that I'll use at first, but will invest in a 3U cardiode later down the line.

Every journey begins with the first step.
