Topic: AKG Active Project part 4

The 6x caps need a high polarization voltage, 40V or more.  So no low-volt only solutions (AT8533, v1 tinybox) are going to work.  v1.5 tinyboxes need to be reconfigured if they weren't originally built with the high-voltage output.

So it looks like I need another Tinybox. Three's a charm. I would like a black one for #3.

Jon, as you know I currently have an 8.5V TB for my chopped Nak 700's and a 12V for the CK1x caps.

these look great!  one question though... brass kind of scares me regarding how malleable it is and the threads.  do you think thread stripping might be a problem?

The capsules are brass, you don't want to use a harder metal as then you'd strip the capsule threads rather than the (much cheaper to replace) coupler threads.

Or . . . just don't overtorque the capsule to the coupler, and take care not to cross-thread.

good point.

It's possible to reconfigure the Nak tinybox for both if it's v1.5.

pretty sure it's version 1.

Jon, correct me if i am wrong...

V 1.0 = 5pin mini
V 1.5 = 6pin mini

v1 only has the 5-pin mini-XLR, v1.5 can have a 6-pin mini-XLR or a couple different Binders.  Either can have a minijack input too, but those aren't at issue here.

Unfortunately the upcoming v2 will look the same as v1.5 . . . although I am getting into these panel colors, so maybe I will get v2 a pretty new color.

is that pref or is it based on what mics the person is using?

for color, the black looked sweet but the silver is fine imo if it helps keep the cost down too thats a plus

[willndmb]

yes i have nothing to do this morning and hope you are having a nice thanksgiving

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.

ts, have you tried that clip with the colette?

[Hypnocracy]

I picked this mount up for some Franken Naks...It will be used for my AKG Active Rig....god willing

Audix D Clips
Busman Shock Mount
Two 3/8 to 5/8 adapters ran together on a 3/8 stud



Indoor HVAC windscreens...these came with some Teac ME80's


For Outdoors I have these

I was real disappointed with the size...Thought they were DPA Windscreen but they are tiny...the good news is my AT853a Fraggle fits it like a glove!

chuck, didn't have a chance. already sent the colettes to jon. they should work. i'll compare the nak 300's to the 460/480 bodies tomorrow.

happy bird day!

CM100 Nak's are practically the same diameter as CK61's

[F.O.Bean]

So there has officially been a collette made for the ck6x's Thats AWESOME! Too bad Im buying a pair of BSC2s instead But I'll probably buy some ck63s when this ship gets going. I'm going to need an r44  or two

Pics of Audix MC12 clips with AKG CK63 caps and Franken Naks by request.

[dactylus]

Nice pics.  How tight is the fit?

[ts]

Clips I have that work well with the colette and have a tight/snug fit.

The taller Audix D clip, the generic clips and the EV clip are compression fit. The Audix MC12 is slide on.

First pic is both Audix clips side by side and second pic is an angled EV clip shown with the generic Jdisc clip.

The Audix clips and the EV clips are easy to find. The generic Jdisc clip could be tough.
