Hi all,
I have here an original AKG C12a microphone. Klaus Heyne has confirmed that the capsule itself is from a C414EB though.
I have also read that he suggests that taking out the cathode follower - which the audio first meets anlong its path - will produce a louder output and improve the dynamics of the microphone.
My question is…
Has anyone done this to a vintage C12a?
If so, was it complicated?
Might you have schematics to show what was done?
Thank you in advance,
Andrew
