Bump?

Yup, thanks. The screws weren't tight enough on the PCB. Little embarrassed I didn't think of that, but hey, that's what Imaginary Internet Friends are for!

Also willing to accept a decent PA system...I needs me one of those.

Hey guys - I seem to have a grounding issue with my modded 460. There's a hum, and if I touch just the body of the mic, the hum gets MUCH louder. If, however, I touch the body of the mic and the shell of the XLR end, the hum all but disappears. I really have to crank the pre to hear any evidence of ...

I am not the original owner. It was originally owned by Yahoo, of all things...they had a studio in Jersey, and I picked it up along with a ton of other things when they liquidated their studio in 2003. It's in excellent shape. The only marks on it are from an asset tag they had put on it, which I'm...

I have a Neumann to sell and a stack of bills to pay. That's how it goes sometimes, right? I'm looking for about $800 for it. I'm willing to consider trades...preamps would be of the most interest, probably...I'd love to get a working PM1000, if such a beast exists. Let me know if there's any intere...

Well, I have plenty of mics without character

It's interesting - the difference is massive and clear as day - on my monitors. In headphones and just computer speakers, it's almost negligible.

Anyway, thanks for listening.

http://komta.com/tim/460Mods/ There are two clips there, one is with the Cinemag 2480 transformer, the only difference for the second one (hardware, anyway) is the transformer - swapped out for a BV11 I got from Dave Thomas at Advanced Audio Microphones. I prefer the BV11. The vocal has some reverb ...

Thanks guys

Tada!! http://lh3.ggpht.com/_wVwo4JSFSB4/SdoCAllebII/AAAAAAAAC9k/dLrusWNPNjA/s800/IMG_7745.JPG DupliColor Engine Enamel. Baked for about an hour at 200, about 24 hours after the initial application. Then I waited a week. The mic was in the shockmount for a 3-4 hour session yesterday, not a mark on i...

The "reactivation" can vary based on the compatibility of the clear with the undercoat. I tried being lazy and not re-sanding one of the small, pain in the ass parts that don't touch the mount at all, I just put the new spray paint over it... It was like watching the Nazi's faces melt in Raiders of ...

So, the next attempt is under way... I got engine enamel with ceramic in it. The final finish is cured by the engine heat, so I baked it in the oven for a while. On one piece, the baking process actually removed some imperfections from the finish - the other, I think I removed it from the heat too e...

*&(@*#&$(#@! So, modded up an Apex 460. Dave Thomas, thank you very much. Everyone else who helped me out, thank you very very much. It sounds incredible. My problem is the finish. I couldn't leave the existing look...it said Apex 460 on it, and hell, the mic had fairly little to do with an Apex 460...

SOLD!

Bumping again...probably the last bump before ebay.
