Hello all,
I'm trying to hunt down a definitive answer regarding the switch type for my G7 mic. I am not experiencing any troubles with the mic, except for a loud pop/bang/click/thump-type sound when changing patterns. I'm using a Peluso CEK12 capsule with a break-befo'-make switch. The mic sounds great otherwise...voltages are all good...just that annoying pop. So far I've just been living with it, but I'd like to find out if I can make it go away.
I read Gus' post
I also read in that same thread where Stewart talked about using a break-before-make switch, otherwise you get fireworks. So, what I'm trying to get at is: is it normal for my mic to be popping like this, and if not, what causes it, and is there anything to do about it? I read somewhere else here, not related to the mic, but CJ posted something about a Pultec and resistors across an EQ selector switch to "ease" the switching noise...anything in that direction?
Thanks for the patience and help! :guinness:
Best Regards,
Jesus

, but I'm not quite sure how to interpret that (I mean, will I be able to get those patterns still...well, I can't really be sure that I'm getting totally-cardioid, etc. now) Perhaps this will cure it.for a capsule without center screws you might want the voltage under 60V and over 40V depending on how the skin is tuned
