hey folks, start putting to gether those cap mounting solutions...

like do we do some sort of Kwon bar (something i have limited knowledge of) or do we do something else...

plus, do we have CK8 and CK69 folks on this list??

i think i forgot that a replacement for the adapter ring will likely be needed

I no longer have AKGs, but will pick up a pair if/when this becomes reality. That said, I would vote for the Kwon bar solution. If you could machine the collar on the cable to be the same size as the schoeps (7.5mm I think) it would be convenient to use the existing bars already available. Of course the spacing might be a bit off as the schoeps capsule+active body is likely shorter in length than this solution would be. Then again, perhaps NOLAfishewater could be convinved to do a run specific for the new AKGs...

The Kwon bar is a very efficient way to mount "active style" capsules.
Delrin is relatively inexpensive and easy to machine.

I will be more than happy to manufacture a set of them. lets say ORTF, DIN, and NOS. would need a set of cables for measurements. let me know how I can assist.

Any colette designed for the ck6_ caps would work with the a60.  I used the a60 a couple times on my JK Labs actives with no problem.

ooops, my bad. meant to be typing CK6x caps for most of my post. SO to be clear:

round one will be CK6x > tsac > 460, which would allow CKxX > tsac > 460
round two will be CK6x > tsac > 480, which would allow CKxX > tsac > 480
round three will be CK6x > tsac > pre-amp or recorder
round four will be CKx > tsac > 460/480

after that it is CKxX repairs, 451 > tsac > CKx/CK6x, and whatever other crazy sh*t you'all come up with  :laugh:

neil

checking in here. sounds like, since i'm a jwmod lover, that round one would be a perfect fit for me.

i also use the ck69 caps, but never pictured an active cable running from the mic body to a cap this large. i'm i missing something here? a special type of "kwon" bar to support a 69 cap?

thanks for all your hard work. i don't feel so bad about selling my mk46 setup now. :)

fwiw, i have overhauled 7 or 8 MK46's lately. _every_ one of them has had outer screen braid broken. i really advise all MK46 owners to service their cables
