I have got discovered vintage AKG CK12 Brass capsule at home.
I would like to build a mic with this capsule and use a standard one-transistor Jfet circuit of ECM electret mics (common source either
source follower)...
I read something today in the old products section of the AKG website on the old CK-8 capsule for the 451 preamp. I knew I had one of these inside a zepplin windshield in the store, but hadn't done anything much with it since I had other shotguns. What made me think was that AKG noted it's use on hand held vocals, where it was good at reducing popping.
I'm asking the aged brains here - I bought an old AKG 451 E off ebay - clearly liquidated stock from a failed audio company - but mainly because 1. It was black and all mine are silver, and 2. it had the metal slide on basket windshield. From the pictures it had a CK1 cardioid capsule.
I've been wanting an extra AKG 451 capsule for a while - been looking for an omni - I've got two cardioids and fancied an omni capsule. Been looking on Ebay for ages and one came up with the mic, but a really weird one - and from Denmark too!
I've got a pair of AKG 451s and they're great for music but they're pretty prone to pop and blasting from voices in close. I need to use one on a singer shortly for visual reasons really - extension tube and it looks great - BUT this singer I know is a bit prone to moving in a bit close.
Hey whats up, I'm looking to replace the shockmount for my AKG C314 mic but don't to pay the $99 it's listed for. I see that there are other knock off shock mounts on Amazon and eBay but it doesn't look like any of them will fit the AKG.
Anyone?
Low Volume Output, what could it be?
Hello,
I'm looking intensly for an AKG A51 swivel joint to mount CK1 on C451 bodies angled from the axis...
Seems to be difficult to get these days (I don't know why so many companies discontinue their cool stuff!)
If you happen to have one in good working order and would like to sell it, please contact me...
Hello, I'm new here and I don't know how much interest for this kind of stuff is there, but anyway: I did some comparisons between different combinations of AKG bodies and capsules; the file names are more or less self explaining.
460JW is Jim Williams moded 460B body, 460Stock is the stock body, and which capsule is attached you cen derive from the file name.
Hello,
is there a way to connect the AKG CK94 figure eight capsule with a C451E or C460B body? Some kind of adopter?
Advice much appreciated
