These are ready for stuffing and testing.

Nice!  Can he do a shot glass version?

TS thanks for working on these.  The Gefell folks are still hopeful that they will wind up with a "happy ending" as well.

^ to me those photos are true taper porn.  :jawdrop:

How is the fit, form and function?
Obviously the screw threads match and work...
Are they heavy? Any things you'd change for the production run?

Next step to see how Jon's circuit fits and works?

Chuck, the fit is very good. Threads are perfect. Colette diameter and cap are a perfect match. Brass is not light but they are small enough to not add a serious amount of weight. As Jon said, brass is brass, do not over tighten.

Shot glass. :hmmm: Don't know about that. ;D I tried aluminum for practice runs.

The clips are left overs from a J disc. Core Sound may be able to source them. Audix Dclips are nice or any small SD clip.

Can't think of anything I would change. Jon's specs are right on. Outside diameter is good for any SD mic clip. As you can see many types of windscreen options. Lets just hope the electronics fit and the test is a success. The price will also be very good. I don't have the exact number yet.

It remains to be approved by Jon as a Product in the Naiant Line...keep checking in this thread....

FTR I plan on being in on the initial run just in case...put your order in for a set of Colettes when it happens...

Naiant will provide PFA-Tiny Box's to supply Voltage , FET electronics-connectors and final assembly...As far as I know you will be on your own for cabling with the TS Cable guys Ted and Darktrain between the PFA - Tiny Box and Colette

Those photos look great, thanks ts!  I'm looking forward to seeing this project come to fruition.

I have a set of Audio Technica AT8533 power modules that came with a pair of AT853Rx mics.  Does anyone know if these would these work in place of the Naiant PFA?  As far as I know, they aren't specific to AT mics.

Those provide 9v power to the 853's.  I think the ck6_ caps require a different voltage.

Ted, our CKx Tinybox is 12V, right? I don't know what the CK6x caps require. I was kinda hoping the TB I already have would do the job, but probably not.

Yes, the ck1x tiny box is 12v (pin 1,4,5 ground, pin 2 right, pin 3 left).

PS:  I finally got around to building a proper cable for a ck1x > Naiant PFA rig.  Pretty much the goal of this whole project  ;D  I couldn't seem to make it work with the 5pin tiny box(1.0v), but now that I have a 6pin Tinybox (1.5v) it works like a charm.

So do you think the CK1x TB will power the CK6x caps?

Here's another low profile mic clip. Probably lower profile than the D clip:

I use these with my Franken Naks. I'm sure they will fit the new colette.
