thanks! does it have the bright, sibilant sound?does it have bass?
what mic would you compare the sound to?
(Or X1S stock capsule)
Would you give me your email ? so I can send you audio files...
Do you speak or understand french ? because I spoke french in my short tests...

Email does not allow files larger than 20MB in a message
You need to send more messages
or send large files for free via We Transfer, with link or link in email.
My E-mail:

I received the files
now i listen to them
Merci beaucoup!
it's not well recorded : I handled the mic in my hand > not a real mic test, but just to check if my Schoeps-like circuit was ok (and it is !)

ok so I hope silica will bring them back to life !
Ali's one was bought just for testing if an original caps. in a mic out-of-order is the problem...
 
please also send me the exact Shoeps schematic you used, with polarization
would you be interested by what you heard ? 😅 😅
you didn't say if you speak/understand french... (I would prefer to send you an email written in french)

I studied French for many years at school, I spoke fluently, at university I used to converse with colleagues from Senegal in French, but decades have passed since I stopped speaking.😀
Before the period of the communist dictatorship, in Romania, in high society, only French was spoken.
The country's capital, Bucharest, was nicknamed 'Little Paris'

The microphone works again (great !!!) but the "E" assembly of the transformer does not work...
There is saturation inside the circuit (not at the gain set of the audio-card)
On the original microphone I measure 47Ω at the primary and 155Ω between pins 2 & 3 at the XLR (transformer connected to the Fet circuit but not powered). On the modified one it's primary 310Ω and 410Ω at XLR...

Well, I'm going to have to modify the wiring of the Tr (a bit annoying to take everything apart one more time) to return to a more "normal" ratio... so, what wiring do you recommend between A to E ?

It's not okay to have 410 ohms on XLR 2-3
(You must have
60+47+47+3.5+3.5=161 ohms)
On XLR between 2 and 3 you should measure about 161 ohms.
Something is wrong with the transformer pin configuration.
Outside the circuit you must measure:
The primary DC resistance, between pins 1 and 8 (with connection between 3 and 6) is
75+75+90+90=330ohm
Secondary DC resistance
between 4 and 5 60ohm.
*
Z1=1200 ohm and
Z2=60 ohms
are the impedances (in alternating current)
*
Did you measure the transformer before connecting it to the microphone?

Hi @micolas I wired up the second transformer and found 328Ω for input & 64Ω for output (Tr not connected)
So I must have made a mistake with the one wich is in the mic : I will look after that...
