Studio projects b3 Capsule mod rk-47
Hi everyone,
Perhaps not everyone's type of style of music and I think the Facebook page is public. If not let me know. The goal is to show how it sounds like.
This track is older and I recorded my bother in law in my little vocal booth down in my basement when I had it set up. I bought a used studio projects b3 mic and a new studio projects b3 mic. In one I put the rk-47 and the other I put the rk-12. The k-12 had spiky highs but rich lows and I think the rk-47 mellowed the sound out but I did not find the lows being as rich. Thanks to ?I was able to learn what the mic needed. :)
The sad news I sold both of the mics during time I thought I needed the extra money and I thought I would not need the mics anymore. Be careful for anyone selling stuff that you think is not needed. Her is the vid link down below!?

Re: Source of dynamic capsules?
Hi JHR!
I did buy the capsules I had mentionned in earlier post.
Unfortunately I did not test any as ALL these capsules appear made to fit a SM58 body, of which I have none.
They do not fit any of the mic bodies I wanted to try them with, so this project has taken the backseat.
Someday I may try to modify them to try to fit them in my mics, or buy some more to see if I can find an appropriately sized model...
Sorry for the dead-end.
Pierre

Le 2022-06-21 13:41, Richards a ¨¦crit?: Howdy Pierre. Did you find a useful dynamic cartridge to revive
your old microphone handles? I have had fairly good results with
some models found on eBay for under $10 US over the past couple of
years. I might be able to provide a specific sound sample of some of
them if you point to any your are interested in.
I have mounded different (various) dynamic cartridges in regular
performance style handles, as well as squeeze one or two into the head
basket of a couple of BM-800 type bodies, converting them to dynamic
microphones.
I am interested in knowing whether you found one or more cartridges
you like, and, if so, wonder which they are. Happy trails to you.

Right. The DC converter was introduced with the A revision.

The U87i didn¡¯t have a a DC converter, so they couldn¡¯t easily get Fig-8 out of ~40V phantom without treating the capsule as two separate capsules (connected via 4 wires).With a DC converter, the capsule can be polarized either as -60/0/+60, or 0/+60/+120, with a common backplate, to make Fig8.¡ªmatt.

That will be awesome. ?My ¡°history¡± shows that Neumann did it to allow for polarity switching for the original U87 backplates for pattern selection. Then after the 87ai came out they changed the electronics. ?? Best Regards,

That being said, yes it will, because that's most flexible. People can connect the back plates however they like for three wire builds I think Hi Ari - can I presume these capsules have the front and rear backplates isolated like in the older K67?

Re: Would you buy a capsule if it looked like this?
The ring is the same thickness is on the real capsule so if it doesn't fit in a headbasket that would be weird
One thing to consider. I had an experience this morning with an inexpensive 34mm element that added a plastic ring, It was green, a nice addition, looked nice, but when I tried to put it into the headshell, it would not go. It was too thick to Put the BM800 headstack over it. So some time with a file, I got it to fit. So consider that if it makes it thicker than stock. That part never crossed my mind.
