Simple Nak cm300 Mod
« on: January 28, 2005, 01:03:35 AM »
Can anyone help me out here? Looking for the simplest modification for my Naks that will make them run on 48vpp instead of batteries. Not worried as much about making them active and tiny...just the 48vpp.

You can probably still use the bodies...they still termintate in an xlr...no reason why you couldnt...

And as for "active"....Im just realizing - I have no idea what this means?

Does "active" just mean that they run on phantom...WTF is "Active"?

My impression is that: active=phantom

My impression of the active bit (and this might be a really stupid comment) is that doesn't just mean 48vpp.....I thought it had more to do with the fact that you have only a cap...no mic body....and the actuall active part is the cable connected to it. But, who knows....I could be way off here.

My impression is that: active=phantom

"active" means the caps can be used without being connected directly to the body. some mics still need the bodies in the chain, (mic capsules > active cables > bodies >pre/adc ) & some don't ( mic capsules > active cables > pre/adc)
the advantage to actives is you can use them to stealth with, & they also make your setup much smaller/easier to deal with. 'actives" just give you a lot more options.
there are two mods available to the nak 300 series. naks run on battery power, and some people don't like that, so there is one mod that is done where they are changed to P48 as the power source.  this mod doesn't make them active, & i "think" requires an additional mod if the swhotguns want to be used.  (the bodies are still used in the chain)
the other mod has them powered with P48, & makes them active also. this gives them the ability to be stealthed, which was the original goal of the mod. (leegeddy "franken-nak")

tim

So there is really no difference between "active" and "phantom" - electrically speaking...? I think in the case of the Naks - the body houses only the battery, switch and XLR...the preamp is in the head/capsule that holds either the omni or card elelment...compare that to other condensers that have the preamp in the mic body and only the element changes...harder to eliminate the body....

Does this mean the shotguns don't just screw on in the same manner the other capsules do?

They are different - the cardioid and omni elements work on the same head. So when you switch them, you only unscrew the very tip of the mic.

When you go to the shot guns, you remove the whole card/omni head and screw on the gun.
