What kind of body is that? Can you please share a picture of the whole mic?

is there 60mm of interior width for Dan's round pcb
Thanks! Can I ask, where you got it from and how much it cost?
And was the connector part of it?

Indeed it is a 7806!
I think the picture shows a vintage M49
No, definitely not. The bottom bell is different if you look closely.
Also, he told me these are new manufactured bodies. Sadly not available.
Ok…
He posted another picture which clearly shows the guts of a vintage Neumann M49, that‘s why i though the body is vintage, too.

Nope, that’s also not a vintage M49…
Compare it closely to pictures of originals online.
That’s the same mic as in the other picture. He’s send me another picture of the same mic and it’s clearly not a vintage M49.
Not maybe. Look at the plastic pillars where the capsule connections goes. Neumann always used transparent acrylic material (Perspex).
This new body uses some kind of opaque plastic.
The solder tags are also bend by hand and fastened with rivets in this clone. Neumann used Niet Lötösen (don’t know the English word for it).
Also it seems the body is made out of aluminum instead of brass like the originals.
And like I said, Zhoujun himself told me that it’s a clone body. He had to install all the components himself. That’s also why there are these old resistors and caps because that’s what he bought. They are not part of it.
Don’t get me wrong, it is a nice clone but not an original.
I'm working on something similar

The upper body on the right is from Aputis. But from where is the one the left? Looks like the XLR version from Jenny as there are no screws visible.
Yes it is early prototype on the right. Jenny's basket and mesh alignment is really nice I will make a new connector and some other mods to look better.
But the body is made out of 3 parts, right? So bottom bell, shell and basket? How do you intend to fasten the shell and basket when using another connector?
We will solve it, but only next year!

Is Jenny's psu something one could build a 49"B" variety with, or does it need a choke?
this is the same body as ami and chunger but with custom internals, that's all
Hey guys, I just finished my build and I’ve got a ground buzz coming through. The microphone works, sounds great and doesn’t have any other noise, just a ground buzz. All of the grounding seems to check out and I have continuity throughout everything. I’ve searched through this thread to see if anyone has had a similar issue, but couldn’t find any posts. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should check? I also ran it through an isolation box to see if that would get rid of the buzz, but it did not. I’m kind of stumped. Also, once I kill the power to the PSU, and the capacitors are still charged, The buzz goes away in the mic sounds fantastic.
