Easy to assemble

Documentation was good and easy to follow, we choose the K47 capsule, good sound, we added epoxy clue to the sides of the tube socket board, into the metal frame grooves, to support the tube board better, when tubes are pulled out we dont want too much force to go into the solderings

M47 DIY Microphone Kit
Nikolo Kotzev
My first recording with the M47

Well, just did a long session with M47, Neumann M147 and WA 47.
The three mikes were placed on different spots, capturing the same source - a folk instrument, similar to flute, with lots of breathing and whistling sounds, in a "dead" room.
I definitely liked the M47 best of the three mikes. It was placed furthest from the source. Yes, the superior sound quality might have been due to the position, but M47 is definitely one **** of a mike! Absolutely killed the other two. Saving dough for another one.....

M84 DIY Microphone Kit

Beware... highly addictive...

Beware... highly addictive... I have now built 10 M&M Mics DIY... and they have all been a great experience... This stereo set KM84 also sounds fantastic... looking forward to testing it on some acoustic guitar soon

Tricky but worth it.

Mechanically I found this kit to be a little harder to assemble than others. Also it is a little brighter than I expected. Works well on darker sources to brighten them up a bit. In general I am happy with the result.

Same 100%?

The sound is very similar, it is difficult to tell the differences, which is very good. Maybe it's a little more presentable than the original, but I can't claim that. And my Neuman U87ai is 30 years old, if I put the original diaphragm from Neuman, it probably wouldn't be 100% the same..... great job, well done.

M47 DIY Microphone Kit

Excellent quality and stunning looks!

The M47 was packed extremely well, I was very pleased. The build was fairly easy, the instructions were very nice. The microphone looks and feels great. I have not used it in a recording yet, but left it on for a day, just to make sure I didn’t make mistakes with the assembly. I know quite much about it and am confident it will be a great asset to my studio. I have a dual channel Redd47 replica and Urei 1176, which paired with this beast will make the ultimate Abbey Road vocal chain!

I am planning to buy a pair of M87s, just waiting for the right time.

Thank you, Mic & Mod, job well done indeed !!!

Perfect Sound

The with M7 capsule in the M9 kit sounds just perfect.

Awesome capsule

As a producer and sound engineer, I have owned and used every professional mic ever made for decades and know them well. U47's, U67¨s, U87's, TLM's, Telefunken's, C12's, Manleys, 414 vintage and XL's and the C800.

That said, I was on the fence wanting to buy this capsule for a couple of years.
I regret waiting so long, it would have saved me so many headaches.

I finally bought the K87 a month ago and installed it in a MA87.
It's a $70 dollar mic on Ebay.
I was blown how it made this cheap mic sound better than a $4,000 mic!
I can't believe how linear sounding it is.
When I boost the treble 2 - 3db it's crystal clear with no plosive harsh consonants.

The K87 is a great sounding capsule in my ears.
Makes mixing vocals a breeze, I barely have to use any eq or compression.
I will be replacing a lot of capsules this summer :).
Excellent job Mic&Mod !!

Exciting to build and a nice challenge ...

Exciting to build and a nice challenge to calibrate for highest output and lowest distortion.
Fantastic quality all the way through, don't think I'd be happier with an original... just poorer...

Excellent!

Take your time when building, if you are careful and doublechecking everything all will be fine. What you get is a beautifully sounding microphone with low noice. I am more than pleased!

Just so amazing

Just so amazing to look at, and touch... and amazing sound... top quality components, and a very detailed guide... makes the build a highly addictive experience

Amazing 251 sound

Got this microphone over a month now and i'm trilled! This comes realy close with the original, who a friend of mine uses in his studio. We compared the two and it's almost indentical to the Ela M 251 from Telefunken. And for this price... awesome!! It's now my "go to" mic for solo singers.

Quite precise these fellows

I bought 2 Kits as (quite cheap) overheads. They do not disappoint. The sound seems very neutral, almost as if it is a SDC.

I have only yet used it on Speech, Guitar (Electric and Acoustic) and Vocals.

Sometimes I miss the big sound of a LDC as I'm used to that, but these mics just work well in any condition, take EQ incredibly well, have more resolution and pressure than anything else under 1000€ that I've heard....I'm happy, despite not being used to the sound signature yet.

Thumbs up! Great Kit! The boy is a tad smaller than expected, lovely and more heavy than the cheapo 30€ mics.

Superb

I never dreamed that I could own a 251 in my life. I received the kit today which was very well packed and I started building immediately. I have some diy experience so it went pretty fast. The build was very comprehensive and easy to do with the instructions. This is a beautiful mic to look at! But the most important thing. The sound… I’m blown away by the quality. I’ve worked with many condensers and never heard anything like this. It’s a very very good sounding mic. I like it better than any u47’s I’ve heard but maybe that’s just my taste. This has more of a pleasing curve to start with. This is truly ‘capturing’ what I want it to.
It fits my vocals amazingly. It’s super low noise and just deep and 3d.
I might post an update once I’ve worked with it longer. But for now consider me impressed

Awsome!

Bought a stereo pair of the M251 DIY kit. Never build a DIY kit of any sort before. Found it quite easy to put together the mic's, which is btw of superb quality. The mic's feels and sounds expensive, though their not...I'm so satisfied that I'm going to order the U67 kit in the near future🤩
