Do we have an approximate cost?

depends on cost ultimately though
and i think if people actually knew it was an option you would see more interest because i have heard people say things like, its not going to happen so ho cares

There is also the group who doesn't want to commit until they have been field tested.

6 - a qualified "I'd like to check it out".  Other issues noted by others before me - cost, performance, availability, quality, etc.

IMO...a Ball park Price would be a PFA plus the cost of machining the colettes...$79 Plus colette??? Your setup may impact that...if you are running a Tiny Box with Polarization voltage...then it is only a board and colette...

I feel 6 pairs would be a good field test...

What do we think about approaching Jon for specs on the colettes and have 7 sets made (one for Jon as good will) start making recordings and build some interest?

I'd like a pair of these, just the collettes, I can find my own "polarization voltage".

I'm wondering what happened to these.  I say build ten or so, sell them off, and repeat until we're done.

Please DO NOT mail me with tech questions.  I will try to answer in the forums when I get a chance.  Thanks.

There are already at least one other person who has succeeded in creating an active solution other than Jon of JKLabs.   His comment to me was that everyone wants them but no one is willing to absorb the initial cost.  Can't I say I blame Jon (Naiant) for deferring this project.    Heck the AKG community can't even come to a consensus as to what they actually want other than a generic 'i want actives' answer. 


Of the 7 previous posters who have said they're in, how many of you would send Jon money now sight unseen to help him finance the work?

yep... you guys need to stop talking and step up to the plate. ;)

Jon is amazing and I have no doubt this solution will work. In fact, it will work so damn well your 460/80s will start gathering dust.

i already have said i would be willing to send money in advance if i had a ballpark amount thats was worth it, we knew it was going to go somewhere, and do i get a cut of the profits after?
i am not investing money for something that will end up not being cost effective or not going to come to life at all and so someone else can sit back and collect all the money after the fact - imo those are simple business practices

How much do you think the initial advance might be?
