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)...

Has anyone ever tried to wire such a large capsule with a single Jfet transistor ? Do you think this might work as a decent condenser mic ?

I've been ask a few times lately about what model would be the best to order from MicParts. So in this video I test 3 mics, the T47, T12 and S87

At 2 min, I made a mistake and mention the U87 but it's in fact the U47 ;)

Let me know what you think !

This is my last comparison of those mics..
I hope it can help those interested in DIY mics

Well a few of you already know I was working on this project
I'm gonna do a few more video on the product with more compare tests with other mics.
Thanks for any comments or questions

Hi gang,

Some of you know I did try a kit of microphone-parts.com
I ran to a few problem with the kit. It didn't work and after a great help doing a dozen test I ordered another circuit without the transformer.
I build the new circuit and got the same results.. so I'm in need of another transformer.
It's a small 6.5 : 1 output transformer.

Hi Guys,

Hello All !
this is my first post on this forum, and i need HELP
i'm looking for microphone capsules (condenser or dynamic) to amplify my instruments (Guitar, Accordion, Viola, Dulcimer ...) on stage.
microphone capsules will be connected to Shure PGX1 Bodypack Transmitters

Someone brought the Diyac RM-5 to my attention lately, and I was curious if any of you have any familiarity with it?
I did a search here and nothing turned up, thus the post.

Hi all, brand new here. Hope I'm asking in the right place.

I've been in live sound for ages but am just building up my first recording rig.

I have a pair of AKG 414's and would like to complement them with some better preamps than my Soundcraft K1 console (which seems fine for general band tracking but I'd like something a bit special for vocal overdubs etc).
