Any suggestions for a shockmount or swivel?
I really like the m600 from enhanced audio

kosi said:Funny that you ask, I was just about posting this question on poctops thread.
I took the 1,6V cathode voltage from the orig M49c schematic as reference. To reach this, I have about 47V on the plate.
I don't know, wether this is he proper way to do this, but the Mic sounds fantastic. And the noise is very low, which is important to me. I ordered 5 6s6b and took the first without testing it.

Murdock said:You didn't change anything else in the circuit? So the 6S6B is really a "drop in" replacement except for the heater voltage?
kosi said:correct. I didn't change anything.
I will build a second one over the next weeks, where I will use an AC701, which I luckily still own. I also have access to some real M49, so I plan to do a nice comparison .
kosi said:thank you very much for the explanation !
I have 120 V B+ btw.
But it's also 6S6B versus AC701, right?I finished both my kits, one with BV11 and one with the Cinemag.
I have the feeling, that the Cinemag has more air.
kosi said:Tight, but works.
But I wouldn't recommend it, cause the mic is too heavy, and the clamping mechanism from Rycote is, ahm, not so good....
