I recently got a set of Nak 300s, and was doing a little reading on the couple of different mods that folks had used on them. I sent a couple of messages to a couple of people, but I am not sure how active they are and not sure if they will get the messages. Who can I contact to do the modifications? Ideally I would like to be able to use 48v phantom. I have several of the 9v batteries ordered, but would like to make them a little more user friendly to me.
Thanks
Seems like it was a bit of a fad to mod these for a awhile.
There were quite a few variants. Not sure any of them made any significant sonic gains.
Seems like the best versions ended up running the mic (often just the barrel/capsule assembly) with a 9V battery box/power supply. Members, Busman and Walstib seemed to have the best game on these - not sure if either still does the mods.
Similar versions used an AT (or the like) converter to get the same 9V from a 48 phantom
There are other older mods that leave the body intact and step the power down in some other fashion - I think some of these were critiqued for their approach to stepping down the voltage.
