I've heard tell the Sonosax SX-M2 may be modified to run active caps without the mic bodies. Is this true? Anyone know where to find details on this mod? Or who performs it? Anything at all?!?
this may or may not answer your questions, but here it goes.
these photos are the inside of a Beyer MV-100, which is pretty much identical to the Sonosax physically.
if i were to do something similar (which i have been considering ever since i got my Beyer) to what you're describing, i would do the following:
1. as you can see the XLR input (bottom) are soldered onto the PC board. you can replace these with LEMO connections, BUT do not solder the connections (See #2).
2. take the circuitry from your mic bodies and put them inside the SX-M2. perhaps somewhere in that big empty space you see in the Right.jpg. i would use something like a hot glue gun & some plastic gadgets to elevate the Mic Body Circuitry above the PC board. i guess it would depend on how large your Mic Body Circuitry is, b/c the battery holder for the MV-100/SX-M2 takes most of the "empty space" i mentioned.
3. make the following connections. LEMO input > Mic Body Circuit input and Mic Body Circuit output > PC board where the original XLR connection was.
all the above mentioned connections are basically 3 wires for the 1, 2 and 3 pins.
