Replacement capsule Mojave 201fet VG

[Joekkel]

Hi there

As the title suggests, im looking for a replacement capsule for a Mojave 201fet VG. A friend killed the capsule with drumbrushes ripping holes in the membrane...

I can't find much infos on the net, website says 1inch, 3 micron, single sided gold sputtered...

I assume it's a k67-style capsule from looking at the pictures. I didn't have the mic in question at hand to look inside yet.

Any infos appreciated.

Best regards, Joachim

Probably the same as the 200:

That capsule seems quite similar to the cheapest chinese k67 that are present in most of the low budget mics.

Don't hesitate to try any capsule there. Maybe try even a K47 style if you like them more

Thank you LevinGuitar! I'll try a K67 knock-off first, as no change in sound is wished for

Best regards

What is the difference to this capsule, apart from the price? Thomann uses the same photos for both capsules but they are different I guess.

Whenever i finish moving house, i could measure both (SC450 & SCT700) - i think the capsules in both should be fine (not busted), if memory serves

Nice catch. I don't think there's any difference.

That would be nice, €25 price difference is quite a lot at that price level.

I'm getting a used t.bone SC450 this week, I think I'll start a thread with photos of all the t.bone capsules I can find. Then we can compare them better...

Look at that, the T.Bone SC450 (XLR!) capsule, looks very similar to the thomann photos of the SC700 capsule...

Having better capsules for a little more like Takstar, 797... why not to try one of theese instead of almost the cheapset aviable?

Yeah, good idea.
I am really interested in how big the differences are. Please post your experiences!

Basically, this microphone has gotten good reviews despite the cheapo capsule. I have never been able to test it in RL but many users were very impressed with the quality. On the other hand, there is always a better...

Could you please share a pic of the mic internals including the capsule itself and the saddle? Not all chinese k67s have the same space between mounting holes
