Now, that's funny. I don't care who you are.

Bob, thanks for appreciating what (little?) I have to offer in wit, even now when I was only half kidding! I guess that makes it a half wit-icism? wink

Thanks for the tip on the C3000. I've not used mine for years because of the "honk". I have my own darned honk - don't need any more.

Lol! I hear ya! Well, I mean, not literally... as, your live demo is the darned good kind of honky tonk.

But yeah, totally. I did a vocal track recently and it came out sounding almost smurfish...and that was AFTER the mic mod!

But, as bad as my ears are, I can tell the difference in the mic. It's as promised: nicer highs and attenuated mid-range "honk". So, for what little trouble it is, I do recommend the mod, it's effective enough to make you start using the mic again, I'll bet.

You will need some patience to pull all of the little wire mesh strands out with a needlenose, those that get left behind after you tear the bulk of the mesh out with the same tool. Fortunately, these things bodies are built like a tank.

You will also need some patience, possibly, putting it all back together. I know I did, YMMV. I don't recall now exactly what the little trick was exactly, so I don't know how to explain it other than everything has to be lined up exactly so that the control buttons are centered and the housing screws back with no gap. I'd have to take the mic apart again to remember exactly what the little trick was. Thank heavens I'm only almost that altruistic! smile Good luck, should you proceed. It's not that bad.

Cheers!

PS
The other recommendation that went with the original post of that mod is to use ONLY the hypercardioid setting, (never use the cardioid) as this will not engage the smaller of the 2 diaphragms which is, it was purported, a source of sound-crappiness.
