Dpart in this micro t was chosen by a friend for making voice or instrument in proximity.

Allchant price, but so low that even when I had some doubts.

Double capsule large, double triode tube (12AT7 I think) Casing collection outdoor switching directivity.

The packaging is flattering trs: aluminum case, suspension, cable, elastic parts (!) All there.

OVERALL OPINION

After a few hours or tens of hours of running (do not laugh), we must admit that this micro bluff me.

the first start, there were dj qualities, but a little too bright I got a requirement for work in proximity of the grain.

After a few trials, the characters has compltement transform: PRS, you end up having too much grain (logic) but by far, is incredible: it sounds more neutral, more pr cis, more "color", because more so that almost everything I know. In fact, it could be closer to a U47, but with a much better capacity making moves away, may be more neutral in the positive sense.

For me it is a must.

At this price, I will take a number (and even some numbers)

Comments: APRS delivery of multiple microphones, I noticed that the SCT2000 comes with either one or with a 12AX7/ECC83 12AT7/ECC81. The ECC83 provides more gain, but also out of breath on. Suddenly, the ECC81 is INTERESTED because it does not pouillme more about the console that goes much GNER, especially some blow really too ECC83. In short, the tubes sometimes books are crap.
I also tried the 12AY7/6072, tube spcial BF gnral apprci trs. The sound is even better, both softer and more dynamic, but may be an S / N a bit worse than with the ECC81, although with a breath trs "gal "not really Gnant.
Everything that it is possible to amliorer the microphone looking around. A lot of references are possible, and I would strongly advise some NOS (new old stock).
For now my prfr: the 6072 (= 12AY7) GEC.

Warning: big changes (micro).
Aprsdcryptage and Analysis Schematic (very classical), I finally DCID compltement remake of the internal circuit, and part of the diet.
Top quality components (silver mica black gate, Mundorf) Schematic "house", with 6C45 including the tube (the specialist in apprcieront). Is tight: it was necessary that I change the mcanique to get everything.
APRS short essays (compared to the original micro), I m'aperois the natural norm is a leap forward.
Whether PRS or indirectly provides the sound is always extremely respectful of what is recorded. Trs trs trs really Fidler and absolutely antidmonstratif.
This style of sound is not everybody agree I think (do not count on the microphone to add or remove anything), but for me, that's exactly what it takes.
The balance is perfect, the sibilant intake of proximity disappeared (ad disparatre distortion), the colors are perfectly respectable and casually (this always natural) the dynamics are standard. Amazing, this dynamic little agreement, but is expressed only through a natural exacerbated.
Measures, noise appears to have decreased (around 10dB), and serious break in the extreme is more straightforward (20Hz instead of 15Hz).

Here I'm happy. Remains to be done "real" catch. and may be further changes. I am thinking of replacing the output transformers. And may even be the capsule.
After the next episode.

PS: In the Schematic dcryptant, I glimpse a change should reduce some extremely simple default: just remove capas C9 and C10, which are not used much, from back to the distortion in the treble, I do not see.
Then replace C4 with a silver mica same value (1nF) available at Slectronic, should be a fairly effective.
Any takers.
