The teuchel looking connecter looks badass too. It does. I think you'd have to rewire the 7 pin MaxMod cable into it though. I'm not even totally sure where you get that mount. I asked a couple dealers who literally have that exact pic on their websites and they said they didn't actually sell them. I couldn't find it on the Neumann parts page either. |

If only Telefunken were still in business and you could just order it from them... like, if they had a shop/factory in Connecticut or something....  |

If only such a place existed, we can dream right?😁 |

Ward , why go to Telefunken-USA to order a Neumann product? That swivel mount is the 'Neumann IC4' Comes up used on Ebay all the time, and you can still buy them brand-new from euro and US dealers. To make it work, just swap the cable and connectors to whatever number of pins the mod uses. Comes with 3-pins stock, made to fit the U87 (wouldn't take you more than an hour to solder all of it up, no different from making a normal 5 to 7 pin XLR cable)

More than one source and we can stop all the fear-mongering about not being able to get parts!! |

Some where we crushed some guys dream of pulling the trigger on some cool CNC and water cutter to make us all happy by building this mic mount one at a time, now he has to go back to makeing meth! Some where we have killed a dream! |

I'm curious, forgive my lack of understanding, I haven't soldered anything more than a guitar cable over 25 years ago, but swapping the cable and soldering different connections doesn't affect the signal quality in any way?
If a mic cable has 7 pins, wasn't that done for a reason, instead of 3?

You can reuse all the existing hardware too. Just swap out the plastic inserts: www.avalive.com/Switchcraft/QG7M/130434/productDetail.phpPretty sure you can even send your IC4 to Redco, tell them what you need, and they'll mod/solder it for you - their prices are extremely fair as well. |

That would be super hot, aesthetically (the nickel body tube/black badge, integrated IC4 mount) but I can't spend upwards of $600 or so do get it there. I'll probably just take George Neumann's big head off the TLM body and use it that way. I think it will look good. I kinda like the color scheme of the TLM67, just without that gawdy head on it.

You might want to check at group diy see if you can just buy one ?
This rings a bell that on the mk-u47 build thread they showed you how to use the supplied end or the teuchel
the extra pins support they single and or double capsules as well; right ?
You just follow the pin out from the mike , as long as yo don't cross wires ( they are colour coded) to the other end: you'll be fine !

If you get one of those mounts from eBay, the new body-tube is around $200, and end bell is $120. Gotham cable and connectors won't be more than $60. Can definitely be done in budget  www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=ic4%20neumann&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684 |

The new prices I saw were like $400ish. I wouldn't even really need the end bell. It's nickel on the TLM67 (though it does say TLM67 in the black ring). |

Nice, never noticed that. So all you really need for it to look money, is the $200 tube.

Post by ragan on Jan 4, 2017 16:51:57 GMT -6
Yeah. It's like $220 or something and another $20 or so for a black badge.
That I might go for sometime.

Go for it ragan those are some great links Jake posted. I was pricing a tlm ( used )+ max mod and I was around $2400-$2500 without the U series body tube or historically correct badge. The tlm was around $1800-$1900 for around a month while I was searching, so hearing what you got yours for is awesome... All in sonically and aesthetically you still be way under what my costs would have been. I agree the big head on the mic body is not pleasing however the gray color scheme overall is! Glad you are enjoying your mic 🎤 🤠 |

Just tracking some more vocals with this thing. I'm ready to stop fucking around being concerned about honeymoon periods and circumspection and blah blah blah. I HAVE FOUND MY MIC.
(I'm sure you were all waiting with bated breath)
67 --> Great River --> WA-2a......just absolutely giving me what I want to hear.

I second the Max Mod through a Great River mic pre. It would sound great through most any pre - but that's the same combo I used in my tube samples I posted here earlier in this thread.

Did your Great River have the EQ side? I just used one for a day, and it was obviously really good, but didn't slay me. So I was wondering it you use the Great River EQ with yours.

I don't have the Great River 19" rack EQ (can't remember what it's called) but I do have a pair of the Great River Harrison 32c EQs which are my favorite EQs. I forgot to mention that in the chain. For tracking, just a little HPF, before the WA-2a. |
