Hi Nacoran. I'm sure I know your name from the Adam Gussow forum (I'm Wheezer on that site). That's where I found Issacullah and he is the guy I turn to when I have to do anything with a mic. He is a really good guy and very helpful. Since the video I have changed the 3.5 socket for a 6.3 (one less connection) and found tha tby packing the cannister void below the element you can change the bass response of the mic. Regards, Pete

Hi Pete

Did you get your components in the UK or online from international sources? If you have the time, please could you let me know where you got your

(1) element and (2) impedance converter? I think Maplins to the jack socket and 3.5-6.3 converter but if you also recall the sources for those that'd be much appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Hillspring,

Sorry about the cock up last time.

The element came from Maplin, Mic Insert DM-13.

The vol. pot. is a 1k Lin also from Maplin.

The jack to jack impedence transformer is a

Skytronic ref no. 173.082. I bought the transformer

from Semiconductor Supplies Int. and their part no. is also 173.082. You should be able to find Semiconductor online but if not their 'phone no. is 0208 643 1126.

You can get the 3.5-6.3 jack converter from Maplin or Semiconducter. continues...

If you can't get the jack to jack transformer

you can use an XLR to jack item (Maplin have these) but you would have to use a Jack to XLR balanced cable for this application.

One other point of interest is that I have found that you can alter the bass response of this set up by filling the lower void of the cannister

with wadding. The more wadding the less bass is my experience.

I now use this mic. all the time for my 30w. amp but prefer the AKG-D130 for the HB GA5

Good Luck.

Hey, I know Isaacullah!

I'm not Sure I could Dial in a deodorant microphone. What's your Secret? :)

Pretty cool. Actually it would be pretty funny if it was Sure brand deodorant. It's got pretty nice tone.
