This is exactly the capsule that was "discovered" by Kingkorg, so I call it KK12.Do these fit the SDCs that @kingkorg has turned people onto? I'm in US, but have found a lot of the holders that normally come with capsules are just a mm or 2 too tight. Would love something a little larger to also have a bit of shockmount tape around diameter as well.
Don't forget that even in the U47, the top edge of the capsule is behind the grille's top ring.Looks like it is bm 800 body. There capsule must be placed on more low level in other case it will be too much on top. Possible use but some part of capsule on top will be closed by metal sheet.
I like this kind of thinking, but personally, I wouldn't want that much reflective/diffractive surface right next to/under the capsule.I think we all know it. It's Saturday morning, the desire to tinker with microphones hits hard but unfortunately you don't have a suitable capsule holder.
What to do?

My suggestion, a 25mm standard tube holder from the local hardware store.

Ready to roll! Have fun.
This is definitely a valid point to consider.I like this kind of thinking, but personally, I wouldn't want that much reflective/diffractive surface right next to/under the capsule.
Yes, I have already seen that in your mics, that is a good solution, but as already mentioned, my objective was different.I just cut down the stock capsule holder till it looks like a saddle, then afix the capsule with a strip of Scotch Extreme Mount tape.

Ha ha, that was my first idea but then I saw the tube holders.Hey Rock! Lovely and elegant solution. I will trade you for mine. I cut a ring of grey PVC pipe fitting which has approximately 25mm inside diameter, drill a hole in the side, and SuperGlue short length of screw thread in it. A suitable nut can be used to hold it in place, if necessary.
I do the same with Basotect, a melamine foam. I haven't noticed that yet, actually melamine is quite dense, that shouldn't happen. I'll have to check this.Most recently a few months ago I tried a circle of melamine on the capsule post in a GT2B / 47FET build. It seemed like a good solution to help with some resonance etc., but shortly thereafter I noticed what appeared to be tiny specs of melamine on the diaphragm
Just be aware that this thick material effectively increases the diameter of the capsule, delaying the time it takes the sound to travel around the capsule, changing the sound.Hey Rock!

My solution works swell - but I also like your idea - very neat and elegant, old man. James

Not at all, it might actually improve some aspects depending on what you want. Some companies add similar things to tune the sound. I mentioned it just in case people weren't awareRIGHT. (And yet, I am reasonably confident that will not adversely affect MY amateur productions . . .)
