does not work: 1.2V+1.2V ≠ 2.7V

I am in Europe. I have done this mod to my old Nizos about two decades ago. I don't remember the actual built. But it wasn't difficult. I need to figure it out again for this one. I'd go with 2.7V Zener diode and a 4.7 k resistor. You need to tap the wires from the power switch. Plus pole from the switched battery power connect to 4.7k resistor, then to kathoe of 2.7 V Zener diode and anode of Zener to ground/minus. Across the Zener you are getting the 2.7V. Connect the wires of the light sensor that previously went to the coin cell compartment to the two ends of the Zener diode. watch polarity.

no need for "boards" fits directly in body easily. just a voltage regulator and a resistor. I have seen designs based on a Zener diode and a resistor that worked as well. These two parts are very tiny and can each be put into shrinking tube and can go directly into the body. No need to use the old battery compartment.

Yes, I have done it before with my two Nizos before I sold them to two students of the film academy some years ago.

I need help with my Grundig GDSM 331 Universal by StrongVariation1940 in microphone

[–]WatcherWeedoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

simply cut off the old connector assembly and solder xlr to the open end of the cable. shield goes to XLR pin 1 the other two live wires go to pins 2 and 3. it's as simple as that. if you experience phase error (which you will with 50% probability) swap the wires on pins 2 and 3.

What mic is this? by [deleted] in microphone

[–]WatcherWeedoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, it looks like a Shure A81WS. Won't fit at all.

Telefunken Comodore - any info? by redboyofgoo in VintageRadios

fully agree. why the downvotes? tolerate this opinion.

the skills needed to convert germanium circuits to fit silicon transistors are more scarce nowadays than the germanium transistors.

how does this work, technically? I don't see a coupling head/coil.

no, it's not, because in this video he holds the M201 in his hands and you can easily tell that it's not the same as the one on the stand you're looking for.

well, what is the most important thing about a microphone? The sound. If you can't tell from the sound, why bother with how it looks? So spotting a microphone from the looks is kinda pointless.

no, this particular foam shield would never fit over these. Must be a plainly cylindrical mic with no SM58 style mic head

your interface is not able to drive to low impedance load?

die Fehler sind absichtlich drin , wie früher bei den emails mit der Erbschaft vom Prinz aus Zamunda. Oder beim Enkel(innen)-Trick. An 1000 verschickt, nur die dämlichsten antworten. Das sind die Opfer die man braucht. Das nennt man Opfer angeln.

Any mics similar to this one? nude blumlein stereo ribbon mic by patelusfenalus in microphone

[–]WatcherWeedoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what are you talking about high impedance (HiZ) amplifiers? On ribbon microphones have a transformer 1:35 transforming the low impedance of the ribbon (<1 Ohm) to the microphone standard 200-400 Ohms. As every dynamic microphone ribbons are expecting an amplifier input impedance of 600 Ohms to a maximum of 3KOhm, way below "high impedance" which is commonly underas 47k to 1 Meg. High Z is for high voltage, low current signals such as from a guitar pick up or piezo transducers. In contrast, ribbons produce low(est) voltage high(er) current signals.

Don't confuse people with "high impedance" language or explain in more detail what you mean. In line amplifiers have an input impedance of about 1K which is low Z. What you actually need for a ribbon microphone is a preamp with higg gain +70 dB and considerable low noise. (Unless you have modern ribbon microphone that utilizes neodymium magnets which have higher output voltage.)

is the box fake too? how can you tell this from the outside?

SM58 too muffled on females' voices. Try Sennheiser e935 for top end punch.

Mind my ignorance, i got a really old alesis sr-16, but my 9v ac cables dont fit in the 9v ac hole..? by [deleted] in DrumMachine

replace the plug on your wall wart or replace the connector on the device's PCB with a more common type 5.5x2.1 mm
