You can also go directly to http://www.audioupgrades.com for general info. I had my 460's mod'd about 18 months ago and have been loving them ever since. Like JW says "you'll be able to hear yourself smile from 3 feet away".  ;)

Yeah, I ran the extension cables with ck1x (card) caps that night.  No stands were allowed in the venue that night - thank goodness for the remote capsules, full bodies get heavy by the end of the show!

The mod actually costs $175 per mic now.  That was the cost when I had it done, so it has been the cost for a while.

FYI - Jim is much easier to reach by telephone if you want to speak with him.  He is a real email slacker.

It took 4 days for me, but i hand delivered and picked up.  It was a holiday break, so he was not as busy as he may be now.  Allow up to two weeks I would say.
