sorry I just meant if you buy the capsules but I can definitely afford the mod/adapter

it's sweet, yeah- let me know when more are available, I'll buy some for sure

I'm very interested in these, but when you say any CK series, do the CK61, CK63 fit? They are a different size.
Also, what about Jim's idea for a Schoeps converter ring.
Thanks for doing this--it is so common in the camera world.

Hi DrDave,

Yes, the CK thing is a little confusing. I think on the first or second page of this thread I listed the CK capsules compatible. I just saw a pickure of a CK6, witch appears to be a CK5 with a Pattern switch on the mesh screen. But the CK61/63 or any capsule that was made for the AKG 460/480 will NOT fit on the adapter, the Body tube diameter and thread pitch are defferent.

As for the Schoeps, I would need to see one and measure the diameter and thread, as well as the way the contacts are made to the capsule.

Thanks so much,
Chip

Hi All,

Stitch - Paid - Shipped

Update - I have about 12 Adapters not spoken for - up for Grabs

Also - now that a few of you have them - any reports on different capsules and how they sound ?

Thanks,
Chip

Hey Chip, finally scored some capsules and so was able to check them out. They work FLAWLESSLY!!! Awesome man, thanks! Can't wait to try them out tracking something.

Way Cool !!

Thanks for the up-date, ( was hoping someone would find some capsules soon)

... maybe report back on track source, capsule used and signal chain gear used ?
Thanks for the support,..enjoy!

BTW.. may I ask what type capsules you got ?... and what mod you did?

Al_Huero · Post by **Al_Huero** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 9:07 am

I got CK1 capsules, and I've done the cap upgrade on both of my 603s (that I think I saw posted here at one time or another).
