Would you buy a capsule if it looked like this?
Hey all. We're wrapping up development on the K67 capsule here, and since we're doing everything from scratch, I figured I might pick a color for the plastic ring other than white or ivory. I want

Re: 1G resistors, polarisation V, & headamp input impedance
so I looked up the KM-88, interestingly it had a removable capsule with a 4 pin connector. looks like you needed a screwdriver to change capsules though... Come to think of it you could make a 3 wire

Re: 1G resistors, polarisation V, & headamp input impedance
yes, I stated this wrongly in my OP, assuming that it was the backplate that was connected to the outer shell. It makes no difference to the main issue though. I had wondered what level of

Re: 1G resistors, polarisation V, & headamp input impedance
Jerry pretty much covered the impedance angle. Tube mics typically used to use 100 Mohm resistors because grid current was too high for 1 Gohms, but noise was higher than in modern FETs too. There are

Re: 1G resistors, polarisation V, & headamp input impedance
Thanks Jerry! That confirms what I thought but wasn't sure. Are there any effects on frequency response or transient handling, or any other sound quality issues? It seems odd to me that Neumann or AKG

Re: OPA for 34mm capsule?
As others have said, yes they are true condensers. PCBway do 5 pieces by default. Still very cheap. The quality is excellent. The PCB job configuration options are a little confusing, but if you stick

1G resistors, polarisation V, & headamp input impedance
There are two scenarios for connecting a single sided capsule with external polarisation. 1. In a typical LDC you would normally connect one side of the capsule to the polarisation voltage and take

Re: Padding a TSSB2555B for drums (or other loud source)
Ok I'm not sure if this should be a new thread, as it is not about a TSB2555 It is relevant to padding in general and to drum mics though. Yesterday I received a new batch of PCBs including a version

Re: OPA for 34mm capsule?
You will have to add components to the PCB¡¯s. Good luck! If you need help we are here. Best Regards, Jules Ryckebusch

Re: OPA for 34mm capsule?
They look like typical Chinese K67 style capsules. You will want to implement some aggressive high-frequency rolloff in the circuit to correct the response of these capsules. Otherwise the microphones

Re: OPA for 34mm capsule?
Capsules arrived. Are these true condenser type? I was thinking going the pcbway and buy your pcb's, the Dual Alice and the Hex Inverter. 1st time on pcbway, they do 5 pcs by default? Do they include

Re: Padding a TSSB2555B for drums (or other loud source)
This is great. And verifies what I was seeing with 220pF I had about 15-16db padding. You are showing 20db with 270pF. Thanks for doing this! Danke! mit freundlichen Gr¨¹?en, Jules -- Best Regards,

I measured the freq-response of a mic with Jules OPA circuit, TSB2555 and different values of the pad cap.

Re: Padding a TSSB2555B for drums (or other loud source)
As Jules said above, I made some mics with a switch, but I also made some with headers (is this the right english term?) so I can change the caps pretty easy and experiment with different values and

Two aspects of the 'Simple P48'? I had problems with when using it with an EM204 were: ? The EM204 is a 2 terminal electret. It's not possible to get at the FET source. As result the microphone
