Well, it DOES take some fiddling to get it all the way it needs to be. First thing is to make sure it is set for Cardoid and not OMNI... The ONYX Blackjack gives me a little control as a pre, but I find that based on the parts and construction mods I made, I don't have extraneous noise pickup.
73, PS - My mic is built on the housing and chassis of an MXL-990 that was stripped and powder coated black. THEN, I also back-filled the ENTIRE lower chassis to eliminate voids. Then added internal sound/vibration absorption. And a proper basket. I could probably sell 10 of them a month if I was so inclined. I am not! It was a LOT of work to do it PERFECTLY. ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G On 6/10/2017 10:46 PM, Brian Denley wrote: > Tried both condenser and dynamic.
