Ok help me understand the objective of removing the mic capsule from the body of the mic. Why do you guys want to do this so badly? I can think of a few reasons 1-sound the mic body will effect the sound of the mic. 2- Mic techniques that can be employed if the mics were smaller.. Am I missing anything else? if so please tell me what.
#3 is save money. Caps only are something like $400/pair, mics with bodies are something like $1200 a pair. I bought just the caps, optimistic (?) that I could get something running...

I see there are a few preamps out there made by ACO pacific that are pretty cheap that will put out 60 volts polarization voltage they might be able to work with these caps. Do you have an AKG schematic of this mic body?
Go to AKG tech support. They have all service documentation online. Look for C480 and C451.
