Re: [Drakelist] Microphone for 4 line
No Problem Mark. I just wanted to make sure all knew there was a different model number for the Dual impedance 444's I've not seen one with any kind of gain pot in them--maybe yet another variation.

Re: [Drakelist] Microphone for 4 line
John, I've used a Heil HC-4 element through a Hi-Z xmformer for years. Heil sells (or used to) the raw element and transformer individually. I mounted them in a very nice black anodized dynamic mic from RS. Dosen't sound quite as good as my Shure 545S, but has a little more output Rick W9WS On Feb 19, 2012, at 11:00 AM, drakelist-requ...@zerobeat.net wrote: Send Drakelist mailing list submissions to drakelist@zerobeat.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to drakelist-requ...@zerobeat.net You can reach the person managing the list at drakelist-ow...@zerobeat.net When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of Drakelist digest...

Both procedures went well, with the second going a LOT faster than the first! I will be rebuilding a friend's L-4BPS next week and figured I could minimize the time to do his by working out the bugs doing mine. As my L-4B is my main amp, and based on Evan's note to me a few years ago, I went ahead and changed out the 5K 7W resistor with the 13W version, replaced the 0.82 ohm HV line resistor and the 50K 50W bleeders as a precautionary measure. In the other amp I guess I was just lazy and simply installed only the Harbach board. Now sitting here thinking about it should I go back and just get it over with and replace the resistors in the L7PS? Has anyone ever had a bleeder go bad? Or the others for that matter. Sure, age will wear anything down. Also, the Harbach board doesn't include the diode balancing resistors that Mike's board does...as the original Drake diode strings used 'em what exactly is the difference? Do modern (read that better) diodes still need that protection? I'm just curious. I was pretty impressed that my 32 year old L-4BPS kept going like the Energizer Bunny all these years and I didn't notice any deterioration at all on the bodies of the orange electrolyticsbut, better safe than sorry and I'm looking forward to many more years of reliable operation with both amps. Thoughts?

Hi John: Any low impedance balanced mic can be used to drive a HiZ input by using one of the small, inline transformers. R Shack, and most music audio stores have them. It must be something wrong in the 444...mine gets excellent reports on the TR4 and and Twins. Maybe just a gunked up connection or dirty switch?
