I made a pair of generic bm800 style bodies unnamed. I fitted Pyle 57 capsules and some other sound deadening tweaks. They sound great. Changed the tone nice little end address.
congrats on 5k, i really liked the concepts and i decided to buy the coolvox capsule to try it. there is another capsule for 12 $ N-M182 that looks promising

Really cool video! Just wanted to know your thoughts on those inexpensive Beta 58A replica capsules? Also, in terms of dynamic mic capsules, are all of them this easy to wire, meaning simply solder directly to XLR connector? Thank you
Interesting, the Fovnova package that was on sale for $12 from the $60 listed price is suffering shipping delays and resisted by the same seller for $99.99 who knows if I will ever see the one I ordered
Dude! Same brain. I saw that purple bad boy on sale with a cheapo voice changer pocket interface for 12 bucks after an 80% coupon on Amazon. I mainly wanted that shock mount for my at2035. ( I have not got it yet but will let you know if it fits) And thought that purple guy would make a great end address. Had no idea where to get the capsule though. Thanks for the link and the vid!!! I know you're not a big condenser guy. But if you have a chance to check out the Audio Technica 2035.... oh ship. If everyone tried that mic, Rode and Lewitt wouldn't sell another condenser again.
@@ObscureMics True that. Guitar Ctr has one for 70 used with blue painters tape on it. Not sure if the $110 Blk Friday price will come back I need to get a second one anyway. I'll keep Lookout and lend it to you if I find a 2nd one
This is awesome and an awesome solution! Do you know or have you tried this capsule inside a bm800 body? Aliexpress has the bm800 for about $10 and on top of that the capsule for another $10, it’s a $20 value! I may just order it and see how it goes!
@@ObscureMics so im working on the bm800 now....i cant for the life of me remove the top portion on the grill!!! tried heat gun... and goo gone...am i doing something wrong? lol
5K! WOO HOO! - I'd like to hear this on your home Shure mic preamp/mixer. I've been wondering if that analogue mixer adds to you silky tone? Good project, thanks & peace
@@ObscureMics Have you used both the M267 and the M367? Do you still have a stockpile or did you manage to liquidate? Sorry for all the questions, I need to test and sort through the old Shure mixers found here during the studio move. I do have several of the more modern SCM268 variety. peace
I've used the M267 and M367.... M367 is my preffered device for sure....and I did liquidate ALL of those radio station devices... Besides two boom arms
@@ObscureMics Once I saw Your video about it, my "I have to get this mic" mind changed from MV7 to d421, I find it amazing too, especially with the wave xlr interface
Sweet build. My favorite videos on the channel are these "take two cheap things and make one cool thing out of them" videos. How long did the Aliexpress items take to ship to you?
Congrats on having 5k subs obscure mic. Just a quick a question, how many weeks were you able to receive this capsule from the time of purchase?Because I have just ordered due to this video of yours, and it makes me excited to modify my own microphone. Thanks for making this video and for answering my question in advance!
@@ObscureMics ahh wow!it’s a bit long.But thanks for the speedy response!Anyways,keep such reviews up!There are so many of us from here-the other side of the world,got inspired by your dedication to bring us vital mic and sound card reviews and mods like this video!cheers!🙏
Yes. You're right. A little bit less of high end and it will be finished. Not even necessarily.
I put another layer of foam on it. I think with a dense enough windscreen, it'll sound pretty dang good
Sounds ok. A bit of EQ and you are smashing it.
Agreed
I made a pair of generic bm800 style bodies unnamed. I fitted Pyle 57 capsules and some other sound deadening tweaks. They sound great. Changed the tone nice little end address.
Just plain fun. And I bet those do sound good. I'm gonna add some foam to this one to try to tame the top end juuuust a bit
Thanks for the heads up! I Managed to order the black version for only 3 bucks more ✊🏾
Oh nice! I couldn't find it yesterday
I've had that capsule in my wishlist for years but I always wanted to hear it before buying
Glad I could be the sound sample person for ya! It's solid IMO
Congrats on 5K man. Really cool capsule and I am interested in messing with these in a mic donor body.
I may buy more
@@ObscureMics they definetly sound good.
That actually sounds pretty amazing for $25. Makes me wonder how it stacks up in the low end dept. compared to the Heil pr40.
I wish I had one cause I think that would be a nice comp
That actually sounds pretty good for a cheapy
Was my thoughts. I'm gonna throw some processing on it and post some clips soon
That's a really cool upgrade. The off axis rejection was impressive.
I think that a fun starter project for peeps! 😉
I like it. I'm gonna add some dense foam in to see if I can tame a bit of the top end
@@ObscureMics I ordered two. The price was different though. $10.63 after tax.
2 of the mics?
@@ObscureMics yes, I'll have two capsules and two mics. It just seems like a fun project.
Always fun to hear what ya get from these things

I find out by trial and error that mic bodies change the capsule sound. I have those and only a windscreen give a more even response
Lot of fun to experiment…just wish I had more time to do so
Looks like fun. May ask for a soldering iron for Xmas. Sounds pretty good to me!
Do iiiiiit
Not bad at all. Well done. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Sounds good 😎..Thanks for sharing the build.
Thankya sir

How to connect it to a usb interface instead of xlr
What kind of usb interface? Xlr typically goes into a USB interface
"unfortunately" I bought d421 some time ago, but this DIY option is really worth considering as a cheap dynamic mic, great video as always :D
I do love the d421. Still use it often
And Thank you!
@@ObscureMics Once I saw Your video about it, my "I have to get this mic" mind changed from MV7 to d421, I find it amazing too, especially with the wave xlr interface
Heck yeah. That's a great little interface
I have the foxnovo and an xm8500. Mind comparing this dynamic modded foxnovo with the xm8500 directly?
Not at all! I’ll try to it tonight
Done
Sweet build. My favorite videos on the channel are these "take two cheap things and make one cool thing out of them" videos.
How long did the Aliexpress items take to ship to you?
Send me some dimensions and I'll print/cut/make you a baseplate for that capsule.
Took roughly a month to get them. Ehhh you don't have to mess with a baseplate AL.
I was wondering why I bought a pair of Foxnovos!
There you go time to build you a Mic out of it
