RockScience mics retire badges & paint. Every build now laser-engraved with our logo and its config. Same sound, sharper look.

Donor Body Alert: The Nova is a great transformer-coupled mic body. It's heavy and pro feeling, has a great headbasket and can be adapted with my boards and capsules with a choice of high-end transformers

This mic is in like new condition in its original box with a bag, mic cable and mic stand hardware. This would be an excellent mic for recording vocals, horns or any other situation. Tried to show it from all angles.

Donor body alert. This is an older style 991. It's a heavier/thicker-walled body and the bottom screws in (instead of having little teeny tiny set screws that are easy to strip).
My SDC rebuild is a KM84 circuit with choice of transformer (Cinemag, etc) and 3U Audio Capsule (card, super-card, omni)

MXL 991 Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone Not Tested. Condition is For parts or not working. Shipped with USPS Ground Advantage.

Finally getting around to drawing a MXL-770 footprint board. Same dimensions as the 990 but with external pad and filter switches. The transformer will be on a daughter board on standoffs. Was able to fit the internal pattern switch too! Same BFM (Big F'n Microphone) circuit based on the KM84.

This came in on my ebay feed today.  I need to add "Bedazzling" service!
