you can get pcb's from zayance here; green with pattern switch on board, black for pattern on mike, he has bom also and you can order case from collective cases or other suppliers

Having just ordered Max' MK-U47 kit, will different psu versions (MK47 and MK-U47) be available? Im guessing the difference is very minor (not needing a pattern switch with the MK-U47), but as a newbie, I feel safer being guided all the way (like the C12 build!).
Thanks

You should be able to use the mk47 PSU interchangeably with MK-U47. The relay-based pattern switching is simply not used.
If Zayance is out of stock, I have 2 revisions of prototype PCB's both of which fit well in the collectivecases.com PSU enclosure and work without issue in terms of core microphone functionality. We are just messing with "extras" particularly the internal voltmeter.
chunger said:Getting ready for a serious mic test session in studio. . . on the mk47 front, I am curious to gather data on a few items:
- Thiersch Blue Line
- Eric Heiserman HK47
- Beesneez M7
I was hoping to put all of the builds into the 1st gen Alctron GT-2B bodies as pictured in this thread, but the Theirsch mount that I got will not fit in that body. I was hoping the saddle would be a separate piece from the rubber base section allowing met to mount it on the stock Chinese rubber base. This is not the case. The saddle and rubber base are fused and glued together. I have had a few samples of Alctron's mk47 body lying around for a long time, and decided to use it for the Thiersch mic.
the mk47 PCB fits in the 3 rail "mk47" microphone easier than I anticipated with just a pair of off-the-shelf 90 degree brackets.

Very well put.Category 5 said:I've got a red in one of my mk-u47s and must say it's a grossly under-rated capsule. The Blue gets so much love people discount the Red but it's an amazing capsule in its own right.

barbaroja said:Great! are there too many basic components changed? Or could one just have the same basic components (replacing the transformer) plus a small rectifier/regulator board to power the leds and maybe a meter?
I am building one and I am sourcing parts. Sticking to your photo tutorials, as always.
