have tested the caps and they test ok?
all connections are correct to schematic?
seem to get omni but the mic cuts out again for about 30 seconds when the B+ voltage goes up then slowly the voltage comes down and i turn the mic all the way round and it sounds like omni on headphones.
cardioid and fig 8 sound identical?
no noise at all on all patterns, so the PSU is doing its job, my heater is about 5.34v with the EF800, ive tested with the EF80 as well and same problems, just lower voltages because of the extra current.
going between cardioid and fig8 it cuts out when going back to cardioid? should it do this?
the back capsule does sound like it gets more treble when going to fig8, so maybe it is working its just the cutting out of the mic for 30 seconds im worried about?
B+ voltage settles at about 118v but goes up to 132v then comes back down?
front capsule on fig8 defo sounds like it has more top end than rear, should it be the same? or is this normal?
