Mic Modification - Transformer Swap in ACM Ribbon Mic

The Lundahl 2911 transformer runs about $70.

Notes
  • I was able to pry apart the grills with a little effort,  perhaps a hook or very small screwdriver would do the trick. they're just held in by two metal tabs and tension.

  • It's really straightforward the stock transfomer is held in the metal caninster which screws over the XLR mount.  Two wires to the motors and two to the XLR Plug.

  • Issues - In theory loosening the side screw on the Mount should loosen the assembly for removal  - this loosened it, but mine seems to operration on just a minute amount of tension and the XLR assembly aint coming out.  So soldering the leads into the Pins is pretty delicate.
  • Also of note, there are two  unused  threads, which would work pefectly for mounting a small assembly to mount a transformer if the cannister is not preferred. Print your own and use the 2912 PC mount version.

Tools:
  • Soldering Iron,
  • Screwdriver
