Hi y'all,
Here's a link to some soundcloud files tests of my recently born DIY M49. She's got a real AC701K (that's got a bit of noise to it), a sneesby K7, and premium caps and electronics. I used Texas Components Vishay Bulk Foil resistors wherever I could, Shinkoh resistors, Ohmcraft premium high meg resistors for the high-Z section, and ALL polystyrene caps in the mic!
I've been burning her in for a week, and I have found she's gotten smoother and much more musical over time...I can only imagine how she'll sound after a bit more break in!
Just wanted some feedback/opinions...is this quiet enough to call done, or would the noise factor prevent you from using this mic?
Also, what do you think of the sound?
Best,
Mike
