Hi soon I would like to make a condenser mic for using live I have couple of really old 1940s mics I wanna build something to put in one of the cases.
My goal is to match the sound of Bet 87 but have the look of the 40s 50s super cardiod for less feedback.
Was thinking of buying cheap hand held condenser Superlux do on e for 30 & there top one is 60 pounds & maybe biuld the mic amp part ....maybe KM 84 circuit.
Dont mind making a PSU or can I use phantom power??
does it matter if capsule is electret ??
Oh & transformers do I need one ? I have a nice sowter 9045 & six others
what sort of ratio do mics need I read its about 1:5 to 1:10 is that right ? some of mine are higher one is 1:25
I could really go to town build Ela M250 circuit & PSU use big fat Sowter 9045 transformer I already have, use the case of cheap T bone RB500 ribbon & best dam capsule I can find.
I wonder what is the best capsule.. super card for live use, neumann I spose from there KMS 105....it has a classic neumann capsule in it adapted for super card I hear..I read somewhere the Sennheiser E865 is good & close to neumann & much cheaper.
