OPEN SOURCE DIY Mic Project - ORS 87 - Stripped Down u87

[mrchapp]

I made a quick video featuring a few different builds of the ORS87 compared. Please enjoy (or don't, entirely up to you):

I had yet to do an all at once comparison and found this to be quite interesting. Video features BaiFeiLi 34mm capsule, Arienne K87, and Flat47, with Warm Audio WA-87 R2 as an additional flavor to compare against.

Great video! Thanks for sharing this experiment.

@untamedfrontier I didn't listen to the guitar samples, but the voice comparisons were interesting. The Warm Audio sounds as tho' you're talking into a telephone by comparison with the others... Very disappointing.

Excellent test @untamedfrontier
I didn't notice you mention the transformers used in these mics.
Mind sharing?
Thanks

I usually use Cinemag transformers since they're a local company to me. CM-13113 for this build
